A CrossFitter's Guide to Pulling Gymnastics - E.399


Listen Later

What does it actually take to get better at gymnastics in CrossFit?

In Part 1 of this series, Drew and Paige Semenza break down pulling gymnastics through the lens of the sport—not traditional gymnastics, not random drills from Instagram… but the movements that actually show up in the Open, Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and the CrossFit Games.

Inside this episode:

  • Why your GPP may be the biggest limiter (or solution) to your gymnastics
  • The real order of operations for building pulling capacity
  • Grip, bodyweight, mobility, and midline factors most athletes ignore
  • Toes-to-bar mistakes that kill efficiency
  • Why your pull-ups might “look right” but still be slow
  • Bar muscle-up timing, glide kip mechanics, and common faults
  • Ring muscle-up mistakes that keep athletes stuck
  • How elite athletes think about movement quality vs. just “getting reps”

If you’ve ever wondered why gymnastics feels harder under fatigue… why some athletes make big sets look effortless… or what accessory work actually transfers to competition… this episode is for you.

Part 2 (pressing gymnastics) is coming soon.
