In parkour we always called this move a โbaby giantโ. Giant being the gymnastics move where you swing 360 around the bar with your body in a straight handstand position. ๐คธ๐ผโโ๏ธ Itโs not hard to attempt itโs essentially just a โninja get upโ, the easiest way to go from below a bar to on top of it as seen in the last clip (anyone got another name for it?), but you pull hard enough up at the right angle that you clear the bar with your hips, stomach and chest. Itโs a good combination of strength, swing, timing and spacial awareness. ๐๐ผ Iโve not been able to do it in years but with my frequent training now Iโve attempted it every few weeks just to see how it feels and finally rekindled it yesterday! I believe from a mixture of all the kipping pull-ups and bouldering Iโve been doing lately ๐ต Maybe one to try next time your hanging on a bar with space above? Or perhaps you already got it? My next challenge is to try two in a row, gotta workout the timing and angle ๐ค๐ค #parkour #brachiation #crossfit #movementculture #idoportalmethod #gymnastics #calisthenics #freerunningn #ninjawarrior #ninjawarrioruk (at CrossFit Mercia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsxtt2XgPEF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=semuylfcmunn
