CrossFit - "The Burpee Pull-up" with Greg Amundson

[AntonTheSpot]

You look up so you don't bang your head smart guy

[zalko70]

What a tool, he is so excited about such a basic move. If he thinks this is a difficult skill I would hate to see Jim play a sport. Crossfit is the biggest waste of time anyone looking to get fit can do, plus it looks really gay.

@zalko70 Just a question. You've said in response to other videos regarding some sort of training, that you do Crossfit yourself, and now you bash it? Are you just trolling everyone "nigga?" :D

[plantapalmera1]

WHY ARE THEY PUTTING HER HANDS IN A DIFFERENT POSITION RELTIVE EACH OTHER?

[deloachrd]

oxygencans4energy helps me get through cross fit class. so i don't feel like puking all the time.

[renjeroute]

tx, great explanation. One question should we reverse the alternating grip so left hand open / right closed vs left closed / right open

[roborroboCop]

@fattonysullivan who cares what they call it just bloody do it

[64dasher]

Liked this stuff, real good explosive moves.

[xthexTxvirusx]

those are called commando pull-ups, dawg. "GI Jane", wtf? pince wedito la verga.

[fnd3]

Good stuff, Greg!

[scripting25]

good stuff!

[BRAZ3Ninc]

"Using a grip and skill your going to use everyday." EXACTLY!!, exercises that that make sense! Pretty muscles are just that pretty....give me some useful stuff! Great vid!

[jimbobbification]

While I agree with you on the mixed grip - it's only applicable when you're able to reach through an object for an underhand grip.

Practicing crossing obstacles maintaining practical eye-level is a well-used and totally valid skill to use for Law Enforcement and military especially.

[fattonysullivan]

Gah... cops. Their stupid lingo of "tactical" eye level. Ridiculous.

The "gross motor skill" mixed grip pull? The PULLING itself is a gross motor skill, but alternating some grip isn't.

Someone ask him how "tactical" grabbing anything other than a bar with that mixed grip is; for instance a ledge, fence or out cropping.

Cops...

A trainer (coworker) at my gym broke his finger attempting a jumping pullup with fwd palms, on a multiple handled pullup station. The alternating grip on a bar is so obvious that I feel silly for not thinking of it.

[E11ama]

I love greg and his energetic approach. thats a sweet routine

[Mer134]

@E11ama Haha exactly! Loves when he at 1:54 interrupts himself "NICE!!! NICE!!" I'd love to have such an enthusiasm when training. :)
