Coaches Drop kip machine

[pihlajat]

I was watching gym videos on Youtube and found an interesting French video. In this video (time 2.40), you can see a gymnast doing drop kips with a some kind of kip machine. It seems to work, at least the girl on the video can do drop kips with that belt thing by herself. On the other hand it doesn't seem to be TOO easy for her. I would love to hear if someone of you have ever used/made one? I think I'm gonna make one because spotting drop kips is HARD!

We actually used to have one of those at my gym, and it really worked well. However, it destroyed the bar over time, so we don't use it anymore.

We used to hang an adjustable cargo strap from one end of the bar to the other bar. We would hang the hook generally on the upright. Note, we hung it on a set of quad bars not regulation competitive bars.
