CrossFit Seminar Staff member James Hobart demonstrates the kipping bar muscle-up in this video. Just like with other kipping movements, we do caution you to build strength and flexibility in the upper body to reduce the stress on the shoulders and upper back before working on the Kipping Bar Muscle-Up.[/vc_column_text][us_separator type=”invisible”][vc_column_text]
