If you regularly do squats, try them on one leg. They're called "pistols". Start like Chris and Shannon demonstrate - with a box, bench, or chair under your butt. As you get better and stronger, get a smaller box until you're getting all the way to the floor with no help!

No, I'm not talking about a golf or tennis swing, rather you PULL UP swing. Notice in the picture the distance Eric's shoulders are out in front of the pull up bar. This is essential to developing power for a kip.

Hanging from a pull up bar with absolutely straight elbows is one of the keys to shoulder flexibility AND a good kip. Practice just hanging from a bar and when you do knees-to-elbows, don't bend your elbows.
