How to do a toes-to-bar
4 steps- Hang from the bar with a full grip and straight arms.
- Push the bar away slightly and let your body swing back into an arch.
- Snap the arch into a hollow and drive both feet up to the bar in one movement.
- Touch between your hands, then let the legs fall and swing into the next arch.
What counts as a rep
Movement standard- Both feet must touch the bar at the same time, between the hands.
- The rep begins from full extension with arms straight and heels behind the bar. Cutting the backswing is the usual way this is missed.
Common faults
2 faults
Reaching for the bar with one foot leading, so only one makes contact.
FixAim both toes at a point between your hands rather than at the bar in general. A split touch is a no-rep.
The swing dies after a few reps and every rep becomes a strict leg raise.
FixSpend the effort on the backswing rather than the kick. The arch is what makes the next rep cheap.
