When working out, you should never rely on momentum. Its not safe.
Another Festivus MIRACLE! Thanks, dawg!
"transferring horizontal momentum into vertical momentum" IS CHEATING WHEN YOU'RE DOING PULL-UPS.
What a load of trendy bullshit. "The kipping pullup is BRAND X's official pull-up." OH SIGN ME UP THEN PLEASE LET ME HAVE TWO MEMBERSHIPS I'LL BE TWICE AS FIT!!!!111! I bet "lady push-ups" are their official push-up.
If you want core and hip strength from pull-ups, incorporate L-sits and torso rotations into your pull-ups.
for what its worth, crossfit uses all types of pull-ups...dead hang, kipping, l-sit, and jumping. they all serve different purposes. kipping pull-ups spread the work over more muscle groups...i.e the legs and core. given that one can perform the movement almost twice as fast as a dead hang, the output power (f*d/t, which impacts muscle growth) is almost doubled.
in a pull-up contest which specifies dead hang only, kipping would indeed be "cheating". interestingly enough, athletes who train with kipping pull-ups rather than dead hangs usually win such contests, even when the form is restricted to dead hangs only.
Try doing "Tabata something else" - pull-ups, pushups, situps and squats (in that order), for each exercise 8 rounds of 20seconds work, 10 seconds rest, aiming for max repetitions, no rest between exercises. Do that with kipping and tell me the pull-ups were easy, or that you could have gotten a better stimulus from doing dead-hangs.This is not bodybuilding, it's not meant to isolate muscles, it's not meant to make you big and bulky - Crossfit is meant to make you fast, agile and strong (and a bunch of other things as well.) The kipping pull-up lets you keep up intensity in a workout instead of letting your pulse drop down while you do dead-hangs.
