Ok so I finally have gotten my low bar kip a lot better and can connect it into my bar routine so now i am working more on high bar kips, but i am having so much trouble.
I have done two long hang kips in my life (one at summer camp, and one around december) but now i seem to be back to square one and am not close at all.
This is what my coach has told me to do, and what the coach at summer camp told me to do:
jump off the low bar to the high bar in a hollow body position, swing high so you are pretty much horizontal and parallel to the floor, stretch (almost arch) so your hips and shoulders are extended, snap your legs into the high bar, pull on the bar, (pull up pants), and then lean over the bar.
The thing is i can't seem to swing high enough so i can extend enough t get power. Is there some way to get my swing better? Is there something else i should know about long kips?
When i try to do them now it does not work at all. After i bring my legs to the bar i feel like I'm miles away from getting up to the high bar. It's like i have no power.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!
thanks for the help
