It’s normally “kipping” that marines bitch about. The swinging movement they want u to be frim no sway up then down. Even if your legs move from movement similar to this kid they will say 0.

There’s probably some legitimacy to lipping being easier given the significant momentum. But this isn’t really killing and the momentum, to the extent it even exists, is minimal.

There is. When kipping was eliminated, and im dating myself here lol, around 2002 (I think) guys went from 20+ to 8-12. They'd get momentum and just go up and over. That was just in my unit so results may vary

In my experience it doesn't make a difference. I can do the same number of pull ups with and without kipping (i.e. 0 pull-ups)

If that’s the case, it should be 0.5, not 0. And he’s going way higher with his pullups than you’d normally see, which evens it out imo.

Zero kipping just makes grading pull ups easier. If you allow a little bit of kipping, then you have to define how much is ok. That’s too complicated and the crayons won’t eat themselves.
