Clapping pullups

[TheRCat]

theres no explosive power here, you're just swinging and manipulating your body to launch up a bit but i dunno if it translates to any real world functionality

[gabydoua]

amazing. BUT did you see Tony Horton do it ?

[vtmike13]

what a beast!

[MrVeruckt]

i did that once and it tore chunks of skin out of my hand, dont recomend it

[65bighit]

I saw a clapping deadlift. That was impressive.

[darrensurrey]

@65bighit I just tried that. Now I have no knee caps. :(

[Issaquan5]

Kipping has it's purpose. Respect.

[tim3nijn]

Momentum FTW!

[sylontuk]

How much do you weigh mate? I can do 2 claps pushups but Id fails at this definitely, I'm 14stone 8

[snicop1]

Nice! Ill try em

[umadumirin]

Pullups to get bigger, stronger lats? Kipping not useful. Clapping pullups to build explosiveness? Kipping useful. Kipping isn't always a bad thing to do, and these are hard kipping or not. Give credit where it's due.

[babyshaq05235]

Most of you can't even do it his way let alone without swinging his body...real workout studs give credit where it's due...only fat out of shape people sit and hate because they can't come close to what others can do

[dubiousDee]

Kipping pull-ups. Cross Fit.

[CrossfitRJG]

Cool man!

Check my page i just made a pull up video!!!

[antonstak]

Impressive!

[Tragicfire]

How about without skaking your body? I've done 15 without.

[LincolnBrigham]

@Tragicfire

Let's see it.

[SteezBow]

@Tragicfire Let's see it.

[ben1ben2ben1]

@Tragicfire HAHAHAHAHA no you haven't! you cant do one! your full of shit!

[Fuhali]

lol

[GhostsH2O]

You know guys what.. I`ll better do that , then sitting behind computer and comment on every youtube video negative shit. Stop blame some people, only becouse ur fat and can`t do that just like he can. And u know, its better then going in disco and smoking weed.

[localboy2012]

kipping works alot more that just a dead hang pull up does. and helps you to figure out your body and how it works. i have a friend in the marines that does crossfit and says kipping helps your pull ups all together becuase of the reps you can pump out

[rherbe2]

If that was your development technique cool, but you should make your visit and not make technique such as this your address. I commend you on your strength and muscular endurance and I'm sure you will continue to do great things.

[punktheman]

and I can barely do 8 normal pull ups. any tips man?

[infidel94]

@punktheman best tip is to do pullups everyday

[foolproof8]

@punktheman dont swing you body like him, shit don't fly like that in the marines.. learn how to do standard dead hang pullups first. try for 5 every day then work your way up

[LincolnBrigham]

@foolproof8 What an idiot you are. No, really.

[PrivChurch]

I wish my gym had a pull up bar like that. Nice and high, nothing around it, freedom to move about as you please.

[AFreeKurdistan]

Nice job dude!

[apomponio6]

Awsome!

[jdeuink]

why are you all saying he wants to hurt himself/why would you do that? Its an athletic move which requires enough power through the pullup for the clap. If he wasnt worried about the clap he might not power through as hard. Just like people do clapping pushups behind the back for the same reason. Take it from a crossfit lifter, the guys in better shape than 98% of you idiots claiming hes trying to hurt himself.

[ElTantaran86]

I envy your athleticism.

[JonDeth]

you arrogant son of a bitch!

that was impressive man! lol



[IronWolverine1973]

good work!

[LiveLaughLove8489]

umm, not to eb rude or anything, but in a pull up if your pulling yourself up high enough to be able to clapp, wouldn't you swing your body on the downward? Isn't tha t jus t because your propelling your body upwards? So, i think that this is really good. It's not easy to pull up and let go and clapp then grab again. And i doubt it's easy to slowly let yourself go down after a yank up like that. So, mr brigham...wonderful job, keep it up. Stay fit and healthy, cuz this is super cool.

[aidzz69]

@Kr1sMAx

called a kipping pull up jack ass

[jmichaelb080]

Kipping pull-ups with a clap...or clapping, kipping pull-ups. More difficult than what many of the overly critical on here realize.

[SoulfulGinger]

whether he is swinging or not...still really freaking impressive. especially at age 47.

[gymnasti12345]

The dude is 47 give him a break. I do agree that there is what we call a Arch Hollow Tap in gymnastics to aid the pullup, but that only means he is using Stomach and Back, on top of, a powerful pulling action into his clapping pushup.

[gymnasti12345]

pullup*

[AbulKhidir]

haha this is sick

[NorbPwn]

to all the negative comments, they arent as easy as they look,

you dont get that many more reps

[Twin84AirRaid]

Dude, don't listen to the 'let me know when ur not swinging', Some people don't know how to read. This is impressive...

[Andythefunkman]

nice job, bar brother!

[azhiaziam88]

it's called kipping, dumbass.

[adfadfewfrewafawefaw]

@azhiaziam88 doesnt matter what its called its gay and doesn't do anything for u

[parkourdude100]

47 and still going strong! great vid.

[thereaper15999]

thats cool...for all of you saying no swinging quit being stupid, you have to swing to pull yourself high enough to clap.

[422002567]

it looks pretty cool..kinda stupid, but most def must be hard to do.. good job!

[RedJellyable]

thats good well hard to do.

[boogalach]

nice i was proud of 1 arm push ups but this is on another level lol kudos man

[stormus08]

This exercise focuses more on your body momentum then your strength. Don't get me wrong it's impressive, I haven't ever tried it because I don't really see the point, as a normal pull up would be much more beneficial for overall strength but hey, whatever floats your boat.

[foesublime]

maybe you should do some before you say they arent as good lol

[44pullups]

i know it may look silly, but this is an example of dynamic strength. think of gymnastics as an obvious example of athletes who are both strong and capable of great force production. using a 2" bar would add a fun level to this exercise.

[prsguitars92]

AWESOME

[jayskates]

good job man, haters will be haters.

[jsboy563]

some people are so ignorant about exercises and shit. all they care about is putting up huge weight and looking huge. id like to see all the people who think kipping pullups are lame to try a cross fit workout and see whos the bitch after that

[Martin880]

haha have them give Fran a call....shes always a good time....call 21-15-9 :)

[Swagg3r3d]

That was awesome.

[marinewife6]

wow this guy is talented. just wait till he bangs his head into the pullup bar. god now that would suck. i give him credit though bc i sure as hell cant attempt to do that.

[diaetschokolade]

great!

[empt60]

you're gonna tear down those pipes..take it down a notch! :D

[Acerimmer12]

Why would you do that?

[LincolnBrigham]

Because I can.

[Nsh1234]

lol I loved your respond!

[tlast2O12dude]

@LincolnBrigham lol

[AwestaKhalid]

@Acerimmer12

why would he NOT want to be able to do that? That's pure athleticism.

[acedrawer19]

@Acerimmer12

because he wants to hurt himself

[LincolnBrigham]

@acedrawer19 That video was from 4 years ago and I haven't hurt myself yet. How about you? Who are you? What have you done?

[SloterMFmeyer]

@LincolnBrigham Don't snatch.

[MOR1NGA]

Impressive!

[f01863]

Cool.

[PkSage89]

that made me laugh for some reason lol.But ya good stuff

[zazectra]

hmm, I'm able to do many pull ups, but I haven't tried this before. since I am a sports climber, I should be having my advantages using these when there is no other option...whenever that is going to happen, it looks cool =D

cheers, Maiko

[thebubbleman7]

im impressed. the old man is in pretty good shape

[TTooMMyy13]

wow...

[chansesArmstrong]

yooo thats sick bro

[matthewmovement]

Lots of kip. Granted I do it too. It's nice to see that at least someone gets their chin over the bar when clapping.

[persistentmemory]

Not that there's anything wrong with Crossfit or Crossfitters, mind. Just, encouraging kipping is pretty much just a Crossfit thing.

[persistentmemory]

Skip the kip and I'd be more impressed, but still cool either way. I'm guessing the video-maker is a Crossfitter.

[stifflo]

thats not a real pull-up, you wont get any benefit from making a noise either. OK I'm impressed but it gives people the wrong idea about how to do a pull-up.

[CaptainS71]

Intresting Idea seems like timing and pulling up rather then getting a good work out though

[rjpe99]

professional gymnasts don't count.

[madmike4898]

HOLY SHIT , I CANT EVEN DO 1 , I TRIED LOL.

[madaozeki]

are either of them in their 50's?

[ix3rlm]

Damn! That is hardcore!
