Video Details

The pike underbar is a specific movement that involves keeping both legs straight while driving through with the heels. To execute the pike correctly, it is essential to elevate the hips high before attempting the maneuver. The process begins with the hands gripping the bar and then jumping up while ensuring that the feet are positioned straight through the bar simultaneously.

Starting the pike with the toes touching the bottom bar is a useful technique. One should focus on rising first before letting the legs descend. As comfort increases, one can transition to driving the legs up and through under the bar. The pike move can be intimidating at first, as there might be a concern about hitting the knees, but increasing the height of the jump can facilitate a smoother execution of the move.

Overall, mastering the pike underbar requires practice and patience. While it may seem daunting, gaining confidence in the technique will improve performance significantly. The key is to start low, get comfortable, and gradually work towards higher and more fluid movements.

Key Points:

  1. The pike underbar requires straight legs and high hips for effective execution.
  2. Practicing from a lower height and gradually increasing the jump makes the movement easier.
  3. Confidence in technique will improve performance and ease fears of injury during the move.

The Lesson

Using a standard hip-height railing with a mid knee-height bar, use a pike-underbar with both legs straight to pass through the gap.

Start with both hands on top of the rail. Jump the hips up high and pike the legs straight. Now thread the legs down and through the gap onto the other side.

Crouch and pass your body through, with the arms trailing last.

Keep in a straight line and land both feet together.

You cannot sit on the mid-bar and the legs cannot touch the bar.

Repeat three times.
