Swing ups on high bar?

Unread postby polleevaauullttt » Mon Feb 27, 2012 11:57 pm

how do you do swing ups? no matter how hard i try, i can never do a full swing up.. i know it works out the abs, but is the ability to do them based on how much abs you have?

It uses a lot of different muscles, not just abs. Years ago I posted some videos that might be helpful: http://www.polevaultpower.com/media/vid ... anddrills/
