I got my kip!!

[teena82]

After months of trying I GOT MY KIP TONIGHT!! I got it without my grips on because I didn't feel like messing with them. I'll try it Wednesday with them on and make sure I still have it. This whole time I thought my problem was that I wasn't shifting my wrist, turns out I wasn't pulling the bar long enough. I was quitting when the bar got to my hips and thought gravity was supposed to do the rest. Once I started pulling the whole way through I got my kip every try. Just wanted to post this in case anyone else is having the same issue I was.

Yay!!! Good job! I remember when I got my first kip
It's something you'll never forget!
Just letting you know, it may take a while to get your kip when you use your grips after a while, but don't worry, you WILL get it!
Also, practice makes perfect to getting it with your arms straight!
Congratulations!!!!!

Thanks Lauren. I tried it with my grips last night. It took about 6 tries but once I made it I got it every time. Like you said, now I just need to get it with arms straight at the end. I can't wait until Monday when I get to work on it some more!
