The peak of the glide swing is the moment when your body stops moving forward and begins to swing back. You are preparing to fold your body for the pike-up, so pulling your stomach back into a scooped position makes it easier to pull your legs up. As your body swings back, quickly lift your feet so that they point upward. Your torso should be about parallel to the floor when you do your pike-up so that your hips are bent at about a 90-degree angle. Keep your legs together in a pike position while you lift them upward. At the end of your pike-up, your toes should touch the bar. This is the end of the pike-up, so from this position, you will finish the kip with a pull-up. Remember to keep your legs and feet squeezed together in the pike position to maintain speed and safety.
