Stop swinging from your hips 🛑 Start building the proper shape with your chest and shoulders. When it comes to the kip swing, the foundation starts with how you grip the bar—and yes, that thumb matters. Wrapping your thumb around the bar creates full tension through the hands and upper body, which allows for better control and safer shoulder mechanics. From there, initiate the movement with the chest and shoulders, not your hips. Think: hollow → arch, not popping hips and floppy legs. We’re not just making movement—we’re making shapes. Efficient, repeatable, strong shapes that translate to all your gymnastics skills. Hips should follow the pattern, not lead it. 👉 Full grip. 👉 Chest leads. 👉 Shoulders engage. 👉 Hips follow. 👉 Build shapes—not wild angles. #PowerMonkey #KipSwing #GymnasticsTechnique #GripMatters #ShoulderStrength #HollowToArch #CrossFitGymnastics #EfficientMovement #MovementMatters
