Kipping and swinging is just stupid
Jeff, I have been working on toes to bar now for three months the Athlean-X way. I'm up to seven in a row. If you do them the right way, you can definitely feel your abs.
Btw love your videos Jeff I always use them for my fitness resource
Just got done at cross fit wod and they told us to kep when we did the ttb I see how your way Jeff is way better
7 very clean ones (only bend at the hips, elbows and knees completely straight)
3 sets of 10 and then I die….
I've been cringing at the bad technique vids until I found this one. I'm currently on 8, but the last 2 are a struggle. My back stay straight the whole time (I have metal rods) which is challenging but I'm getting it 👍🏼
i do 3 sets of 10. that's pretty good for me. i usually do them with a reverse grip with my arms bent. its easier since a bent arm is stronger than a straight arm. doing them with a straight arm puts too much of a strain on my arms.
8-10 strict form. After that I start a little swing at the bottom. I'm just trying to get my muscular endurance back since having back surgery last year…discectomy! Thanks for the video it has helped me out a ton!!!
I've got a good challenge for you: Go up with your toes to the bar and stabilize. Do a full circle down to the right and up to the left and stabilize again. From here, raise your body up towards the sky, you should be in a straight line along the y-axis with your hips above the bar, stabilize here and go down to the toes at bar-position. From here, do a full circle in the other direction, down left and up right, and stabilize at the top. Do another rep of reaching with your feet towards the sky, then go down to the starting position. That's one rep of the challenge. Please try it and tell me how it feels! 🙂
Crossfitters can do both strict and kip with no problem. Kipping is a faster and more efficient way of completing the reps. If a workout required strict toes to bar there would be no doubt any crossfitter could handle it. Why don't you go take a crossfit class and do a wod strict and see how you do Mr. Know it all. It's easier to hit 10 reps of some curls and take a 5 minute water break, change your music and then hit another 10 reps. You talk shit because your weak ass couldn't hang.
I got 25. 😀
54
i can do 15, my fingers are slipping
You engage your biceps when you do toes to bar, this exercise need more shoulder stabilisation , flexibility in your hips and of course core strength!
My God!!! I only got like 20 reps!! Need more training! Great video Jeff!!
15 reps each set I want to get that 16th rep but my grip is failing me.
im 17 and i did 32 and a half but some of them such as the lest 5 too 10 i didn't really extend my legs so ya
32… :/
25 reps 2 x that was two days ago and I am still feeling it
I found that the trick to get my abs to work with these is controlling my movement on the way down. Going up I don't feel anything yes, but if you can stop yourself at the bottom this is a decent high-rep exercise in my opinion anyway
OMG……………..How many inches are Jeff's biceps ? Haven't watched his videos for a few weeks. They must have grown again. 18" ? 20" ?
40 but swung on the last two but i do these a lot anyway so im used to them
15 is all i could do. My whole body was feeling it and especially my shoulders.
Momentum is the cheating method…And so are kipping pull ups.
Great video. I had a question about doing superset variations of just pull ups and push ups (wide, close, regular, ect…) is it better to superset wide grip pull ups with wide stance pushups or is it better to do close grip pull ups then super set with wide stance push ups, or does it really matter. I normally superset like this: wide push/pull then close push/pull then regular push/pull…and so on. Any advice?
10, with proper technique, but hanging at the elbows with straps instead of hands on bar. Will see if I can get more with my knees bent as much as in the video.
This is my favorite exercise in the gym, as I couldn't even do one when I first got back into fitness.
Fun addition can be to go for maximum fatigue by doing knees to chest after you can't get your toes all the way up to the bar anymore in a set.
Hey Jeff,
doesn't the toe to bar work the hip flexors more than the abs? and How can I focus to keeping the hip flexors out of my ad workout and focus on ads?
Thank you
Crosshit.
Coach Jeff, can you do a vid on soy and its effect on testosterone I'm finding the evidence hard to distill.
Good knowledgeable vid man! 💪👊
its a challenge, dont look to deep into it.
Jeff, lock your arms and dont bent your kness!
I appreciate the demonstration of technique and addressing the toes to bar challenge. I don't agree with a lot things spoken in the comments. Every exercise has different benefits based on how you do them. The only wrong way is the one that will get you injured.
To me, I don't want to exclusively condemn strict form or functional. Is a "cheat free clean" a deadlift to upright row to reverse grip curl? Should we initiate the entire kinetic chain to make a preacher curl more functional? For a challenge like this, I bet a lot of marketing went into the rule set. Strict for 100 would be too hard for most and I don't think it would initiate a metabolic response if it were 20 strict toes to bar. For the before and after pictures you want to see the abs so a more cardio based toes to bar would help that. Plus all these challenges are in the triple digits( 100 pushups challenge, 100 squats challenge, etc.). It adds to appeal of a challenge; the big 1 double O.
As far as I know a kipped toe to bar should not injure you any more the if you did it strict. Anyone heard anything else?
Leave this exercise alone! I get all my clients in the box to do these as a warmup and it helps you get massive abs
toes to bar with no swing i can di 5-6-7 just starting
I can do 8 now
Crossfit and any other type of functional fitness (calisthenics )is the future of fitness, not bodybuilding or muscle isolation , for instance I don't train like a bodybuilder because I'm not a bodybuilder nor want to look like one,but I respect and applaud any kind of fitness to live a healthy lifestyle
Around 10 😅 pretty bad! 😜
Does anybody know jeffs height and weight?
Crossfitters saying its all about the cardio, then be it, you wanna be skinny and with broken bones, so be 🙂 I want to be healthy and athletic, period.
Crosshit is like westboro Baptist church or scientology of fitness. Fuck that shit.
Grip strength is important to develop to in order to be more ''efficient'' at choking cross fit dicks.
I think that for a beginner, having a bit of momentum in the Toes to bar is not that bad if the main objective is doing it without it eventually…
