[LowRiderzZ]

hahahaha nobody cares about the time, everybody cares that hes squats deept...

god damn i love crossfit :D

[1stblackx]

DO YOU DO PUSHUPS ON YOUR KNEES AS WELL?

[1stblackx]

GREAT FUCKIN' PULL-UPS

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHA

[Daniel0su]

@1stblackx Chin over the bar is all that matters. Now post your sub 3 minute Fran :).

[marklind94596]

88 pounds on the bar? Fran is 95, RX, isn't it?

[degul]

was that supposed to be pull-ups? hahaha! lousy! nontheless it take balls to endure all this punishment..

[monk2in1]

Max, you are gnarly bro! I don't crossfit, I powerlift. But your depth is right on. You are totally parallel to the ground, there is no reason to go below parallel when going for time. I paused the video several times and your squat depth is legit, hip is in line with the knee. And it is a lot harder to do them this way than to bounce off a ball to get depth, those people are cheating. You should be very proud. Your explosiveness on your opening kips is SICK! Great job!

[vvirk67]

lol i will never understand the fascination with these kipping pullups .... you are taking a beautiful exercise and bastardizing it with some perverted notion of a total body workout ??? and whoever tells me its not as easy as it looks is a dumbass, when i could do 15 pull ups max before i was able to rep out like 40 of these cheat-ups i call that easy...i dont know about you.

[cbdud]

True....I am in pretty good shape and have done this workout with 20 lbs dumbell and REAL pull ups.....and it was KILLER! Most would have trouble hitting the first 21 REAL pullups! ha ha I want to see some one do this with REAL pullups! I am no knocking the vid though....nice vid!

[omrsafetyo]

@cbdud Those are real pull-ups.. of the kipping variety. This workout is done almost to standard - the thrusters were a little sloppy, the squats could have been deepar and he didn't extended back far enough on the press(ear should be visible in front of the arm) but still very impressive.

[Hasanswers]

Then you should also argue the fact that he isn't doing leg press or shoulder press on a machine and seperate vs doing thrusters. This movement (and crossfit in general) is NOT about isolating and developing your back muscles only. Read up on the philosophy of crossfit with an open mind and you will see it's a completely different exercise regime. Remember, to each their own; this is just different and geared more towards what he wants which may be different than what you are looking for.

Thanks for all the comments. When I published this video, I was a few months new to CrossFit movements. I was performing it on my own most of the time unaware of how vital full range of motion is to human performance and work output. Since this I have been sure to only count "legitemen reps" on any workout.

To answer some of the questions: My max pull-ups to date is 55

Max legitement best "Fran Time" is 2:09- I have a 2:19 posted on you tube.

Thanks for the feedback

[m1kasd]

amazing kip

[jcoleyb]

worst anything ive ever seen on a PULL-UP bar... crossfit or not.

[tkdprince]

k lol i am in sports performance at school and its fucking brutual i was usin 60's and it took me 12 minutes

[myearlynovember]

he could go a little deeper in his squat :)

[zsoneal21]

You are a beast! I hope I can achieve this someday...but I probably won't lol...

[Gummip]

The hips stayed above knees in most of the thrusters, but otherwise good job.

[arghmetis]

awesome job. out of curiosity how many reps of kips can u do fresh?

[truereinvestor]

Great work Max! Amazing explosiveness on the kips! Please dont take this the wrong way but on thrusters the crease in your hip must be parallel with or go below your knee and you missed it on some of them. Something that helps is using a medicine ball under your rump. Great work though and keep pushing it! Crossfit or DIE!!!

[flyguy3663]

SICKNESS.. absolutely insane.. like seriously, i am happy with a sub 5 minute fran, and these guys are just murdering her.. great stuff.. Airborne!

[OOPPTT]

well done...as said above...the depth on the thruster will come with practice...great intent and speed though...that takes years to attempt..well done

OPT

[DIRTYDICK80]

The fastest kip I have EVER seen!!

[Surricane]

Nice work. Felt like I was watching an edited video being played in fast forward.

[gaucoin13]

Holy crap, nice work. Those pull ups are insane, I've never seen someone move so fast. The only thing I question is the depth at the bottom and the lockout at the top for some of the thrusters. Not being a hater, just pointing it out in case you plan to compete at any time. The judges are sticklers with the form!

[albob77]

Holy Shit! That was awesome, man. Although it was heartening to see that you looked human again in the 2nd round - gives some hope to the rest of us.

[airforcemetalhead]

NICE

[wisdometernal]

This is REALLY hard. I tried it the other day bcuz I saw it on a nother vid. I wanted to puke it was awesome. Took me well over 3 mins though...

[killingthegame]

Heck yeah !!! This is what I call speed ^^
