So you just can't get your damn toes to touch that bar, huh? I have a few secrets to let you in on - that could just be the difference between a REP and a NO REP! These tips are ones you can try right away and stop the endless swinging around, hoping for magic.
So let's take a look at the Toes to Bar standard;
1. Your feet (doesn't have to be toes!) must touch the bar at the same time between your hands
2. Between reps, your feet must pass behind the vertical plane of the bar
So with that in mind, I'll show you a few drills you can do to get some extra momentum while making sure you check the above boxes. While this isn't necessarily the BEST way to go about learning Toes to Bar (my 8 week course is!), it will definitely help if you're needing those reps to count in the short term - e.g. The CrossFit Open!

Ben plz we need a tips for chest to bar ... I haven't done it before iam scaled.. and iam really good at pullups.. Also I watched ur videos on chest to bar.. But u need more advices..thanks in advance.

[@jackwatkins3]

How has this video not got more views?! I honestly tried T2B for the first time ever, yesterday. I watched this video and managed to string 8 in a row! Yeah it’s not loads but with practice I’ll defo get better! Thanks for the solid tips!

[@jenabouzeid9154]

What I am taking with me from the video is the following list: 1. Look up at the bar 2. Jump up, shoulders back feet forward, arch 3. Tuck and flick 4. Actively pull to "arch" in a gruff voice I can currently do one at a time (this has been the current situation for the last 4 years), but I need to consistently practice stringing them together and I think this list will help me think through the process. I will be practicing tomorrow and then completing 21.3 and 21.4 on Sunday. Thanks for all of the helpful video's!

[@RR-xb2wu]

Thanks for video! Lots of great info. I will try the tuck and flick ASAP!!!

[@khansawimana]

I got my first toes to bar after watching your video!!! Many thanks!!!

[@blessedbythebest1003]

You’re great at explaining at a great pace and examples

[@amycowen6168]

I have been working out for years, but just started Crossfit and found you! Your videos are so helpful! Thank you!

[@WODprep]

You're so welcome! Plenty more videos for you to get through then!

[@ingridmbs18]

I followed your instructions and just got my first T2B!! Thank you for your amazing videos!

[@WODprep]

Nice work! Proud!

[@maryferguson7059]

I appreciate your education. I'm going to practice looking at the bar and the tuck and flick technique.

[@pgandb7253]

Excited to try these tips! I’ve never been told to look at the bar!

[@angelaschneider1404]

This worked!! I was able to do 30 toes to bar (singles) for 21.3! It was so fun to be able to get this. Looking forward to trying to string them together now. Thank you!!

[@lesheawhite1870]

Awesome job

[@suaprofedeingles2360]

I need to remember to look up as well as tuck and flick! Thanks for the tips

[@healthyhailey6520]

super helpful thanks so much!!

[@marlenepuhringer4658]

Will try looking up 🎉

[@caro189100]

This absolutely amazing. Will be trying this tomorrow for the first time. And if I don’t first succeed I’ll get my little self up and try again 😂🦾

[@chismahu23]

Haven't tried looking up at the bar, but i have a feeling this should help alot! Also setting bands on spotter arms slightly below the bar is another awesome idea that you showed in a different video. Gonna definitely use that idea as well. Thank you!

[@DotunAdio]

Totally works. Looking up was the key for me.

[@SonjaLaitila]

I got my first toes2bar yesterday, thank you for your excellent tips!

[@charitypeterson9729]

Pulling my legs back hard and quick! Thanks!

[@ca-maramitchell558]

I’m gonna try looking at my target. Unfortunately I have been looking down. Great tip! 👍🏾

[@chrisrosadotcom]

Ben, keep crushing it! Just sent this to someone from South Seattle CrossFit that was asking for some tips!

[@andythesix]

Tried tonight...it works!! Thanks Ben :)

[@Fully4utomatic]

Turns out I just needed to look at the bar. Thanks heaps man!

[@louisehachey5282]

Loving the tuck and flick and jumping in hollow from bench, doing this this week! Thanks

[@WODprep]

sweet, let me know how it goes!

[@cori4evans]

Bring my legs down fast and arch. Thank you! Great video

[@LeanOnPlants]

So good. Thank you :))

[@GuidoBos]

Thanks, tomorrow I will practise

[@annakarinjaxvall7215]

I am going to look up towards the bar.👍

[@KoolNanny]

By looking up to the bar, I solved the issue I had to do my toes to the bar. I can do now 3 sets of 20 reps, without any momentum. Thanks for the tips!

[@DJWAVEZsyd]

Looking Up🔥

[@amandamckinley4751]

Oh im DEFINITELY trying these tips tomorrow at the gym. We had them today and I looked a mess.

[@edwardferron]

I will try the flick move during today’s workout

[@cindeehazen924]

Now that I’ve seen this I think I will try my first T2B. I always do knee raises instead.

[@MULKAD]

Looking at the bar is what I need to do.

[@theresyayttri]

Does necessary to use hands straps? How does it affect the hand grip?

[@americanpetplace7318]

Hey so I’m fairly new to cross fit. Just 4 months new. The challenge on top of the look, tuck, kick is my hands. They’re not strong enough to hold my weight. Any ideas on how to improve grip? Is there a glove? Strap like in weight lifting?

[@blessedbythebest1003]

😁 I like the B O O M

[@lisawoodall8557]

I do not have a good grip and have fell trying TTBs flat on my back! How do I get a better grip to hang on?

[@gregredfern685]

Add in the tuck and flick

[@tumilesisa7765]

I tried to arch and tuck, but I failed...I think I see what I did wrong. I see after the first rep when pulling legs back you push you face in the window slightly to get the arch again.. I will try again

[@vberg1961]

I am 61 and female and really wa n t to be able to do this and add to my workout routine!! Is that possible?????

[@glantrider]

I really suck at these, but you make it look so easy!🤣 It seems that flexibility plays a major part in this🤔

[@Kwildcat13]

Usually tight lats will set you back

[@questshots4189]

Aggressive pull down of the legs to try to string 5-6 at a time hopefully without the dead swing

[@chriscarter4159]

Look up - knees up then flick toes to bar

[@vberg1961]

I am a 61 year old that power walk with weights 5 days a week and want to be able to do these!!!

[@kimdickerson3861]

Hollowing

[@DylanHughes979]

What bar is this?

[@anastaciabuniag2012]

Arch, through the window!

[@CharlotteRushmere-zc8vt]

Look up

[@lesheawhite1870]

My hamstrings are so tight. I'm trying to stretch them out everyday

[@willcook6269]

Look at the bar , thanks ...

[@hyoofoz11]

I want to get my first toes to bar 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

[@sambaker7982]

[@d_pilc]

Why not doing it slowly? Crossfit is something else fr
