The Strict Pull-Up

“The goal in your pull-up work is 'more.' You want, you need, more pull-ups. The more you can do, the stronger you become. Muscular endurance, absolute strength, relative strength—whatever you want to define and measure gets better. Every personal-best pull-up is an event worthy of celebration. You’re going to live to be 100, but you’ll not get that many pull-ups, so treat the new ones like birthdays.” —Greg Glassman

Thank you for explaining in less than a minute what it took some people over 10 minutes to explain.

Real pull ups on a CrossFit I'm confused

[immortal_jairo]

They call it strict pull up, but is just a pull up.

This is just a "pull up", not a "strict pull up".

The single biggest reason crossfit gets so much hate. If we just rename butterfly pull ups to something that doesn’t involve the word “pull up” everyone will stop complaining.

It's so weird. I read somewhere that only 5-10% of males can do a strict pull up. In my school it was part of the gym program and most guys could do 5 pull ups. In Norway.

That's how I do them anyway, instead of the floppy fish pull up

A crossfitter's worst nightmare; a regular pull up

Teniendo en cuenta qué el Crossfit ya se hizo muy conocido en países de habla hispana creo que deberían de crear un canal de crossfit en español o por lo menos poner subtítulos en español...

Whats the name of that pull up bar and where can i buy it???

[defroach]

Anybody know the name of the Free-Standing pull up stand she’s using?...looks pretty tall and sturdy ...I would like one

[nsxdarin]

this must be a fake crossfit account. I just saw a proper pullup.

[johaoEXPECTRO]

Una pregunta, por en las competencias o lo demás, no lo hacen así ??, De la forma correcta, sin kiping

[MB-wesw]

many “bro’s” making an issue out of pull-ups. Fact is...a kipping pull-up is a different movement that has its place in large volume sets for time. Point is...dudes whining about it probably can’t handle CrossFit workouts. It is the most elite fitness program on the planet, period. Don’t worry, maybe one day swinging full body bicep curls and smith machines will have their place too.

So now does everyone understand why CrossFit does kipping pull-ups in competition? It isn't possible to judge strict pull-ups done as fast as possible.

So apparently they had a board meeting at crossfit HQ and said "Hey, has anyone researched anything we do to make sure we dont cause irrepairable harm to our participants?"

And somebody there must have said "Well Ummmm... There may be a few things you might wanna read on our youtube channel..."
