I played SS for 4 years of DI football and graduated last year. I decided to try crossfit and it helped me lose my unnecessary bulk & playing weight. I dropped 15 pounds and have barely lost ANY strength as far as bench/squat/deadlift and even completed a full marathon a couple months ago. The ppl i workout with at crossfit have better form than a lot of the meatheads at the local gym. Your all haters. Be happy that people are getting fit & working towards goals. Its easy to talk shit thru a PC
For all of you fitness experts out there that feel the need to degrade the crossfitters shame on you. Whether crossfit or any other fitness routine at least these people are getting their ass off the couch and doing SOMETHING physical unlike 80% of out obese & lazy population. Second, the pullups they are doing are called "kipping pullups" and when done correctly are meant to maximize reps as opposed to low rep isolation "deadweight" pullups you guys are talking about when you say its bad form
Common guys lighten up. Is it powerlifting? nope. Is this easy? no way! I think the old-fashioned criteria applies: what percentage of guys eventually puke? Anything over 10% has to qualify as a respectable workout!
first of all Spartans fought for the glory, but these crossfit losers only want to get attention with those stupids wods and i call them powsers... so don't shame the spartans values with this stupid video full of douchebags skinny asses
@ricardozs1983 who the fuck r u lol blah blah blah Spartans r awesome. yeah, and? how is crossfit stupid? its based on time. not completion. Why r u in here bashing these guys for competing at anything, looks fun and its something to work for. If you're so badass then go win the crossfit championship
@JpDanger "blah blah blah???" who speaks like that, that's so girly XD go fuck yourself you gay.... i'm not interested in winnig useless competitions, i win powerlifting compettitions, real strenght challenges
@ricardozs1983 good cool for u. and crossfit guys wont bash u for it. but here u r talkin shit about them. ive competed in strength competition too. its alot of fun and a great environment but u still dont need to come talk shit
who cares wat meat heads can and cant do.... i would like to see u go and lift there style of weights record that and see who is the laugh respect ur own sport and others m8
Go to Army basic training and get ur ass smoked for 2 hours straight non stop to water breaks, nothing. Nothing like getting woke up at 2:00 am and getting smoked for an hour because someone didn't clean the latrines on fireguard... All this ty bo, cross fit and any other "intense" workout is just a weak attemp at smoking you. You want a work out, go to boot camp.
Sure, crossfit isn't that bad, but saying any good crosslifter comes anywhere NEAR a good bodybuilder/strongman/powerlifter is fucking stupid. Most people at crossfit wont even bench over 150 lbs/70 kg. All you have is endurance, nothing more. Crossfit is nothing more then cardio with weights
@Masskill43 dont think you have been to a good crossfit gym then pal. people at my gym can bench well over 70kg some over 100, we still do our strength workouts like bench and heavy snatches its all there, just focus more on our endurance like you said. bodybuilders will obviously always be able to lift more because thats specifically what they train for and thats NOT what we train for. but still id say somebody builders would struggle with some of the workouts we do
wow all the hatred toward crossfit i am an athlete at the college level and any crossfit is probably the hardest thing ive ever done. and for all who say that power lifters do more weight sure they do they are built for it most of them are 250+ lbs. look up josh evrett my ex strenght coach hes 185 lbs and does a shit ton of weight. i would like a powerlifter to get through a crossfit faster than dude in the cf games. i bet they cant even beat me.. just saying
@166TheTruth people do not hate crossfit just because, it is not all power lifters too. Crossfit = fast as you can, form does not matter increases the risk of injury. You can get fitter with proper circuit training. In any gym on the planet throwing weights around like these people do is blasphemy.
Proper form is the golden rule to anyone working out. You can get just as fit, even fitter with proper circuit training. continued.
@166TheTruth any athlete should know that if you disrespect the weights you are lifting they will disrespect you by injuring you. If you truly are in college sports and your coach saw you throw around weights like they do in these crossfit vid's he would smack you across the head.
@Baseshocks dude in this video where do you see weights being throw around? and to say that crossfit does not care about form they do care about it and in some of these videos you are watching they may not be experts in the lift. not everyone just coms out and has perfect form. it takes tons of practice. and btw it is had to mess up a tricep extention or a bicep curl. corssfit is simply different and a new way to get fit. have fun with what you do for fitness and i will do the same.
@166TheTruth have you seen the videos of the competitions? Have you seen them do dead lifts... raising and dumping the bar... when they do pull ups and life weights they swing.... you can easily injure a joint. Cross fit is not new, cross fit is circuit training with bad form. Check out the Royal Marines training guide, they have videos here on youtube that show proper form too, that is proper circuit training, Royal Marines are comparable to Olympic Athletes. Continued.
@166TheTruth you can also check out triathlon training guides, those training guides are designed to limit injury but also bring the same level and surpass cross fit.
@166TheTruth heres another vid. MMA workout. "MMA WORKOUT TO INCREASE EXPLOSIVE POWER" you notice many of the exercises are the same as crossfit, but he emphasis on form he goes slower to properly lift and lower the weights, everything he does even when swinging is under control. That's proper circuit training.
i dont do crossfit but it looks challenging and fun (in a puking kind of way fun). eons ago we did similar training for wrestling. it was killer hard but got us in great shape for wrestling. also did similar stuff to condition for bjj.
im not sure why crossfit has sparked such a controversy. lots of anger on either side. i just like sports, no hating. anyone care to enlighten me without getting all worked up? peace
HEY DOUCHE BAGS. After a shit load of exercises and reps, you might have some trouble doing a couple pullups perfectly. You negative assholes. I dare any of you to try that. Trolls.
@49fortyniners True. Percentage of 1RM, heart rate, speed as measured by time, or effort from perceived exertion, etc. But the main debate was whether or not kipping pullups are effective for power development. If someone trains kips for a few reps (1-5) with additional and increasing weight then I would agree. But using kipping to increase the number of pull ups at a fixed weight (body weight) is not training to increase power. However, weak beginners would gain power development from kips.
cross fit is a waste of time. nothing more than a group of exercises performed at a set pace, also known as fucking circut training. so cross fit really isnt even a actual fitness routine if you ask me. its a waste of fucking time. and 300 used a lot of camera lighting and imaging you dipshits. so if you think they looked like they did from doing this than your a idiot.
@erichvonhinken And I'm betting that in a single work out you would pump out no more than say 30? When you need to push out 30-plus pull-ups in a WOD, there is no way that you will complete those perfect, 'strict' military pull-ups. Crossfitter's aren't aiming for the good lat spread and upper body bulk, if we wanted that, we'd stick with traditional pull-ups. It's about functional fitness, endurance and the like. Nothing wrong with strict, but it doesn't work for Crossfit. To each their own.
@GrandMarshalRageous First, read the entire string of comments so that you know what you are commenting on. Second, definitions of power and training methods do matter - especially if you train professional athletes and/or those that aspire to that level. The best methods and program design both actually require precise "semantics". And finally, I generally agree with you that some exercise is better than none.
"If you come to us with a four-minute mile, six months into it you are going to be 30 seconds slower but a whole hell of a lot fitter. Similarly, if you come to us with a 900-pound squat, in six months it's going to be 750 pounds, but you, too, will be much fitter."- Greg Glassman (founder of CrossFit). This is why I hate crossfit, it's stupid as hell. It's legit fot girls though!
Great workout i just finish the whole deal in 36 minutes. Next time i do it I will video tape and send it to you guys. Could you guys send me the poundage you all used in all your routines so that the next time i do your challenge I will be on it. I'm sure I was very close to your weight. Anyways great workout.
I like CF for the reason that it's getting a lot of women off that stupid fucking elliptical and treadmill. It's a step in the right direction. However, I can see why many do not like CF.
I would challenge any of you meatheads to attempt to compete in a CF challenge workout. Check out the website to find the nearest competition, show up, attempt to compete, and embarrass yourselves. Most of these folks are stronger, faster, quicker, leaner, and way more athletic then you. Make sure you record it though. Then when you are done post it here so we all can get a good laugh for the day.
@jeremybaker07 What's the point of your comment? I haven't read any legitimate comments on here that say CF workouts are easy. The only valid point to be made is that CF can give healthy individuals a great level of well-rounded fitness. If you want to make real comparisons then compare CF's to decathletes. I guarantee you that ALL of the top 100 decathletes in the world will be "...stronger, faster, quicker, leaner, and way more athletic...." than the top 100 CF's.
@brycecoad1 are you fucking kidding? have you even wacthed the crossfit games? until you have dont post your worthless "guarantee" because its not an informed one
@james69XD There are different definitions and tests of fitness and athleticism. The CF games test a fitness that is based mostly on different forms of strength-endurance. The decathlon tests speed and power with the exception of the 1500m run. What do you think are reasonable tests for the traits mentioned in the comment of "stronger, faster, quicker, leaner, and way more athletic..."? The sprints, throws, and jumps of the decathlon are traditional benchmarks for those traits.
@james69XD Could the CF games winner make it to the olympics or world championships in the decathlon? Or could elite decathletes make it to the CF games? It's interesting to consider. Since both require fairly different types of skills, fitness, and athleticism - my guess is that neither side could make it to the others championship. But my initial response was that the decathlon best tests the traits as quoted "...stronger, faster, quicker, leaner, and way more athletic....".
@jeremybaker07 well crossfiters have great condition, but stronger? can they pull a plane of 205000lbs? can they deadlift 1100lbs? or make a military press of 450 lbs? i have never seen a crossfiter doing this...
@calcetosocko can anyone not on serious roids do any of those....don't tell me strongmen cause those guys on are the same crap as body builders and the rest of them.
@TheRockToronto777 crossfit is only to get fit not strong ok, that's it... and i remember you, crossfit is not a sport and it won't be in million years :) the only reason cos crossfit is now in the Arnold classic is because it only represents money nothing more :D it is just money for the organizers of arnold classic event they only see profit in it :D what a shame... none bodybuilder, powerlifter, strongmen, runner, footballplayer, etc, see crossfiters as a great athletes... bye noob :D
@jeremybaker07 lmao you know nothing about lifting strength and endurance are two different things i dare you to compete in a power lifting competition cross fit fag guarantee you will get fucked do they even have a 120lbs weight class for pussies that go to cross fit gyms?
@serbski500 And unline you....they would be able to dodge or catch it then throw it back faster because they have trained functional movements and muscles...keep doing curls...itll be awesome!!
@serbski500 I dont even know what you are trying to say here. And the 'former olympic weightlifting pro" doesnt mean you're in shape. Also, the pro part just means you got paid for it...nothing more. I played in the AFL but dont walk around calling myself a professional football player. Poor guy...stuck in the past...it'll be ok. You always have the 'former' part of it...ha ha
Something you people who are hating on this workout are missing... You don't just wake up one morning and say, "Hey I feel like doing this 300 workout". Its something the people who have been training cross-fit for a long time decide to do. As for the Kipping pull-up's I HATE them and try to never use them but you are only supposed to swing your body as much as you need not like one or two of the guys on here who are acting like its a swing.
@bsleagles36 That's because professional athletes use sports specific training, and not a more general way of training. You don't see trialthletes or footballers (soccer) use weight training just like you don't see power lifters performing foot drills for speed and agility, or going for runs.
Actually many powerlifters do conditioning/cardio. They do a lot of sprints, rope work, high intensity resistance, prowler/sled/parachute work, box jumps, and intervals.
i started this workout a week ago. feeling stronger already. its hard no joke. but i make sure to do good pullups rather than just swinging around. deadlifts are probably the hardest part. for me atleast. im only 140 lbs.
i have a queston maybe it was answered but i dont feel like reading haha.. how com in the crossfit competitions everytime someone does a pullup the swing there body soo much?
@inhiswords because they cant do real pullups so they swing their body which is called kipping pullups so its 10 times easier because your momentum brings u up not your actual strength.. crossfit is stupid
If you knew much about crossfit, then you'd know they also do strict form pull ups at times. Not to mention, kipping pull ups are more about power (and teaches one to generate power from the hips). Strength and power are two different things and crossfit focuses on the latter.
I personally don't like kipping pull ups and i choose to neglect them, but I'm not going to knock on them either. They're just two different things.
@lwst82 Excellent question. Two answers. 1) Time under tension. For example, 10 reps of pull ups at 40X0 (4 second eccentric with an explosive concentric) is more intense than 10 reps of kipping pull ups which are 00X0. 2) Different energy systems = metabolic conditioning. Increasing the number and speed of repetitions while reducing the rest period increases the HR and lactate intensity. But this intensity is in a different energy system with lower threshold muscle fibres.
@lwst82 The sprinter. How are you defining "explosive power"? Olympic weightlifters explosively move massive amounts of weight relative to their bodyweight in the clean phase and snatch lift. Throwers, jumpers, and sprinters have a different kind of power. But all of these athletes explosively move their bodyweight or more from a dead start position for ONE REPETITION over a few seconds. How and why do you think kipping pull ups as performed in CF workouts are related to power and intensity?
@lwst82 False. Intensity is defined as percentage of the 1RM. CrossFit excels at density not intensity and quantity over quality. The majority of CF workouts are for some kind of strength endurance. Any movement that is more than a few reps is not power. Kipping does NOT help real power or cleans and snatches, et al. because the olympic lifts are designed for 1-5 reps. Whereas kipping is used to INCREASE the REPS that can be done at BODY WEIGHT while reducing the load on isolated muscles.
@brycecoad1 Are any of you weak faggots aware that calculated 1 rep maxes get less accurate as the number of reps increases? Were you aware that if crossfit was worth a crap in both intensity and volume then crossfitters would have a reputation for being as big as NFL players, and the fact that crossfitters are famous for being weak as kittens means that you don't have a clue what you're talking about?
@Incurable1488 Your insults are unnecessary and suspicious. My comments here have been critical of crossfit in terms of its use of certain exercises for increasing power and the training methodology.
@brycecoad1 Scientifically. Force x Distance / Time = Power. Measured in foot pounds (ft lbs) That's what this is Force = Lbs, Distance = ft, Over time. lbs x ft / time (Force x Distance / Time) That is the measure of Crossfit. Body builder- Moves heavy weight over a short distance. Marathon runner -Moves little weight over long distance. Crossfitter moves lots of weight over long distance. 1 Horsepower = 33,000 lbs moved 1 foot over the time span of 1 minute. that's the science behind Crossfit.
"Scientifically" then, you use no power/energy to carry a 150 pound box a hundred yards, since it takes no energy for horizontal motion, right? And you don't use any energy after hiking up and running down a 1,000ft peak. We're not simple particles :), high school physics doesn't quite easily apply.
@Ronan2 What are you talking about? Where do you get moving 150lbs boxes and scaling mountains from what I said? and using no energy when moving horizontally? Your making things up in your head. All I did is state a math equation to you. lbs x ft / time = power. Where the hell did you come up with hiking mountains and carrying boxes? I agree we are not particles we are organisms that require Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to make energy for use to use climbing your mountains and carry boxes.
@brycecoad1 It's clear from your way of speaking of it that you haven't tried crossfit yourself. Kipping is used as a way of scaling exercises if they're too heavy for you. It's not preferred, and often not allowed in competition. Stop watching videos and reading about crossfit, and try it out for yourself, for real. The "quantity over quality" quote is also bs. There's plenty of technique practice in crossfit apart from the workouts, and a lot of emphasis on doing each exercise correctly.
@finnpalm I have tried it out for myself. And in the last post I said kipping can help weak beginners with power development. As for the "quantity over quality"- I wrote that in another post in the context of intensity and power development. Quantity refers to the strength endurance/higher reps that is trained in the majority of CF workouts. This is in comparison to the relative quality of power development trained by olympic lifters using higher intensity (per 1RM) and far fewer reps.
Kipping uses momentum to achieve the pull-up with less muscle energy exerted than the dead-hang pull-up. Don't kid yourself. I prefer dead hangs for 300s, but that's just it, it's my preference. Until somebody comes out and provides actual rep definitions for each exercise in the 300, it'll be something we cannot compare against others. I'm sure somebody will step up and do it soon: Steve Maxwell? Pavel?
no crossfitter claims to do strict pullups when kipping. kipping makes pullups a full body workout focused on hip movement opposed to a shoulder and back workout. dont say we are cheating when we dont claim kipping and strict are the same thing, we know they are different workouts
I guarantee that most of the people commenting, including myself, cant do that amount of pull ups, kipping or not. And cannot do the workout in the amount of time that they did it in... just saying.
Crossfit is basicly just atheletic training for people that are not athletes. Why? because athletes have always done this kind of training, so they wouldn't call it Crossfit. So if someone tells you he/she does crossfit, one thing is for sure, they are not athletes.
@pokhapokha this is the most ignorant comment in this chain. I was a professional athlete my younger yrs and now I do crossfit to stay fit. it works great. What you said doesn't even make sense.
@pokhapokha this is the most ignorant comment in this chain. I was a professional athlete my younger yrs and now I do crossfit to stay fit. it works great. What you said doesn't even make sense.
@pokhapokha Haha your one spastic.. i Box i play Soccer Rugby Basketball and two of my Irish national sports(Hurling and Gaelic Football) and i do crossfit dose this mean im not an athlete ? im sorry but you sir either have no idea what your talking about or you wer on drugs/drink wen you wrote tht comment..
@PaulKellyIRL That's correct you are not an athlete, you are a typical crossfitter valuing quantity over quality, hence you do 10 different sports, and suck at them all :)=
@pokhapokha Ahaha you have no idea what your talking about i play the highest level possible in 2 of them sports i mentioned Google "Cork vs Tipperary under21,s Hurling championship" you,l find a couple of videos of me playing in front of a 35 thousand crowd..once again you proved you think you know it all wen really you dont know what your talking about moron..
@pokhapokha Yea exactly. I was seriously looking into Crossfit, but it seems to be a wasteland of lost 30 somethings. I guess the big thing that turned me off is the arrogant better than every other thing out there attitudes by people who have only been into training for a few years. They beat this constant drone of being "athletes" when they are not. Yes they are fit but saying they are the greatest or fittest is merely framing the argument. Drop the attitudes and I'll try again.
@flatpat It's not just CF where you see these attitudes, think of "bodybuilders" who started lifting over spring break, taking their no-xplode, curling into the mirror, and walking around with invisible barrels under their arms. I started CF back in december and I believe in it very strongly. I still do bodybuilding workouts on alternating days with my CF days, because I still love the pump... it's about finding what works for you, ya know?
If you were just doing 50 pullups then you can do them strict, but your combining your pullups with a whole bunch of other exercises plus the aim is to complete the workout in as short a time as possible; its virtually impossible to do them strict and achieve the aim. The form isn't bad at all, its called kipping; as 'strict' pullups are a type of pullup so is a 'kip' pullup. Different crossfit workouts use different forms ie strict pronated pullup, kip, strict supinated pullup ect.
I agree that everybody is apparently an expert here, but the fact of the matter is, for example, if you're hanging from a ledge with a 50ft drop you wouldnt try and do the perfect pullup in order to survive, you would hoist yourself up in the most effective manner. So the moral here is that perfect form isn't everything, people need to watch and learn
@EnglandAli well I served for 15 years in the royal marines, where the pull up is king, so I'm about as close to an expert on the movement as your'e going to get. I can tell you that if you were doing these, your counter would just be repeating the word one one one one one as in, you haven't completed a single pull up. This style of training is great, it really is excellent and should be encouraged but this is bad form, plus by not doing them properly you are cheating yourself of the benefits.
@dickydom9 yeah thats a fair point, just all depends on what you're training for, my friend is in the RM reserves and he says that if you dont do it right they just dont bother counting them
You know everybody is an expert! The true fact is... It works! Man do you pull-ups however you want, just do 50! Give creative credit to whomever you feel deserves it, just know your not done till you finish that last set of 25 pull-up!
@jotri007 I have done my homework. All I'm trying to point out is that the 300 workout calls for controlled pull-ups not kipping pull-ups. I have done the 300 workout with real pull-ups and can do both the kipping and controlled versions of the movement. I've trained with Steve Maxwell, if your familiar, and he is no fan of the kipping. He is a real master of body weight movements. The fact still remains that the kipping is for those that can't do the real thing or the reps required!
@samadhi64 The reason CrossFit uses the kipping pull-up goes back to their definition of fitness. They define fitness simply as they abitily to exert power (i.e. work/time). The work done in the two movements (i.e. dead-hang pull-up and kipping pull-up) is the same, but someone doing a kipping pull-up is able to do the pull-ups more quickly, thus exerting more power. So "the fact is" CrossFit uses the kip because it fits their fitness model! (exclamation point to emphasize how correct I am.)
@iammpk Nothing against kipping pull-ups as long as it goes AFTER classic pull-ups. The problem with Crossfit is that the original idea is deformed. Crossfit is not new. Boxing training is a crossfit: pull-ups, acrobatics, running, plyo, olympic moves, running, even fencing and swimming! But these guys got evrth down to few exercises. What about weighted pull-ups, weighted dips? My opinion is No crossfitter has rights to do kipping if he can't do at least 15 proper pull-ups, and many CANNOT!
@valgez1 i cant say i disagree completely. there's a lot more to crossfit, which you seem to know. the few moves you are seeing here is only because its a certain challenge obviously. the reason crossfit may lack variety is bc they are focusing on total body stuff... the basics, i guess. and just grouping it together to get one hell of a workout.
@iammpk Yeah, the basics are the best, but it seems to me (at least from what i see in youtube) that kipping pull-ups are done as a refuge for those who cannot do proper pull-ups, and hanging cleans are done with terrible form in most crossfit videos. It's like "no worry if you can't do it, it's OK as long as you pay money". And, again, why simple pull-ups are never shown in Crossfit videos? Classic exercise in sports and military !!! May be i just don't like when smth gets commercialized.
last time i chekt on MensHelth, you do the 300 workout controlled and not all crazy looking, (the pullups) and in every exercise their all jerking around!
@iwantsomegatorade dude. there's probably a lot of fitness stuff you've never seen before. not everyone wants to pose down at mr. olympia. its functional strength/conditioning.
the pull-ups are called kipping pull-ups.these guys arent the same douchebags you see at your gym kicking their legs around trying to pull themselves up. they are in complete control of that move. it promotes explosiveness and is more of a total body workout.
SO SO freakin wrong way to do pull-ups... it should be a controlled and smooth move, not swinging and going all way down, this puts too much pressure on your joints, especially shoulders. The arms need to be slightly bent, so the lats are constantly contracted...
hey i have a question. i get pale after round or two, but modified, not like this. i did bb for some time and i advanced pretty well only with whey isolate but it wasnt challenge anymore.i never did cardio like runnung .
now i tried to drink whey while im working out but still. i think that my insulin drops like crazzy or i just need to get some stamina.. anybody?
That's awesome *durtydog*!!! Just ignore the little micro-fights going on between everyone. Whether it''s Bodybulding or CrossFit, Vegan or Paleo, we often forget that we're all looking toward the same path to Health & Wellness. I hope you find as much benifits from CrossFit as I did. (Note to everyone else: Pick what you love to do, and DO IT! And don't treat other systems as inferior.)
im in the marines and the marine corp recently got a major hardon for cross fit, this stuff got our whole company out of shape and injured the fuck out of every one, this stuff is a quick way to achieve little results and high injuries, its inspecific so you never push any one body part to its limit and the cardio is worse than running
Nothing comes close to the Kick in the Balls crossfit.

@Masskill43 dont think you have been to a good crossfit gym then pal. people at my gym can bench well over 70kg some over 100, we still do our strength workouts like bench and heavy snatches its all there, just focus more on our endurance like you said. bodybuilders will obviously always be able to lift more because thats specifically what they train for and thats NOT what we train for. but still id say somebody builders would struggle with some of the workouts we do

@166TheTruth people do not hate crossfit just because, it is not all power lifters too. Crossfit = fast as you can, form does not matter increases the risk of injury. You can get fitter with proper circuit training. In any gym on the planet throwing weights around like these people do is blasphemy.
Proper form is the golden rule to anyone working out. You can get just as fit, even fitter with proper circuit training. continued.

@Baseshocks dude in this video where do you see weights being throw around? and to say that crossfit does not care about form they do care about it and in some of these videos you are watching they may not be experts in the lift. not everyone just coms out and has perfect form. it takes tons of practice. and btw it is had to mess up a tricep extention or a bicep curl. corssfit is simply different and a new way to get fit. have fun with what you do for fitness and i will do the same.

@166TheTruth have you seen the videos of the competitions? Have you seen them do dead lifts... raising and dumping the bar... when they do pull ups and life weights they swing.... you can easily injure a joint. Cross fit is not new, cross fit is circuit training with bad form. Check out the Royal Marines training guide, they have videos here on youtube that show proper form too, that is proper circuit training, Royal Marines are comparable to Olympic Athletes. Continued.

@49fortyniners True. Percentage of 1RM, heart rate, speed as measured by time, or effort from perceived exertion, etc. But the main debate was whether or not kipping pullups are effective for power development. If someone trains kips for a few reps (1-5) with additional and increasing weight then I would agree. But using kipping to increase the number of pull ups at a fixed weight (body weight) is not training to increase power. However, weak beginners would gain power development from kips.

@erichvonhinken And I'm betting that in a single work out you would pump out no more than say 30? When you need to push out 30-plus pull-ups in a WOD, there is no way that you will complete those perfect, 'strict' military pull-ups. Crossfitter's aren't aiming for the good lat spread and upper body bulk, if we wanted that, we'd stick with traditional pull-ups. It's about functional fitness, endurance and the like. Nothing wrong with strict, but it doesn't work for Crossfit. To each their own.

@james69XD There are different definitions and tests of fitness and athleticism. The CF games test a fitness that is based mostly on different forms of strength-endurance. The decathlon tests speed and power with the exception of the 1500m run. What do you think are reasonable tests for the traits mentioned in the comment of "stronger, faster, quicker, leaner, and way more athletic..."? The sprints, throws, and jumps of the decathlon are traditional benchmarks for those traits.
brycecoad1 4 months ago
@james69XD Could the CF games winner make it to the olympics or world championships in the decathlon? Or could elite decathletes make it to the CF games? It's interesting to consider. Since both require fairly different types of skills, fitness, and athleticism - my guess is that neither side could make it to the others championship. But my initial response was that the decathlon best tests the traits as quoted "...stronger, faster, quicker, leaner, and way more athletic....".

@bsleagles36
If you knew much about crossfit, then you'd know they also do strict form pull ups at times. Not to mention, kipping pull ups are more about power (and teaches one to generate power from the hips). Strength and power are two different things and crossfit focuses on the latter.
I personally don't like kipping pull ups and i choose to neglect them, but I'm not going to knock on them either. They're just two different things.

lwst82 7 months ago
@lwst82 Excellent question. Two answers. 1) Time under tension. For example, 10 reps of pull ups at 40X0 (4 second eccentric with an explosive concentric) is more intense than 10 reps of kipping pull ups which are 00X0. 2) Different energy systems = metabolic conditioning. Increasing the number and speed of repetitions while reducing the rest period increases the HR and lactate intensity. But this intensity is in a different energy system with lower threshold muscle fibres.

@lwst82 The sprinter. How are you defining "explosive power"? Olympic weightlifters explosively move massive amounts of weight relative to their bodyweight in the clean phase and snatch lift. Throwers, jumpers, and sprinters have a different kind of power. But all of these athletes explosively move their bodyweight or more from a dead start position for ONE REPETITION over a few seconds. How and why do you think kipping pull ups as performed in CF workouts are related to power and intensity?

lwst82 7 months ago
@lwst82 False. Intensity is defined as percentage of the 1RM. CrossFit excels at density not intensity and quantity over quality. The majority of CF workouts are for some kind of strength endurance. Any movement that is more than a few reps is not power. Kipping does NOT help real power or cleans and snatches, et al. because the olympic lifts are designed for 1-5 reps. Whereas kipping is used to INCREASE the REPS that can be done at BODY WEIGHT while reducing the load on isolated muscles.

@brycecoad1 Scientifically. Force x Distance / Time = Power.

Body builder- Moves heavy weight over a short distance. Marathon runner -Moves little weight over long distance. Crossfitter moves lots of weight over long distance. 1 Horsepower = 33,000 lbs moved 1 foot over the time span of 1 minute. that's the science behind Crossfit.

"Scientifically" then, you use no power/energy to carry a 150 pound box a hundred yards, since it takes no energy for horizontal motion, right?

@brycecoad1 It's clear from your way of speaking of it that you haven't tried crossfit yourself. Kipping is used as a way of scaling exercises if they're too heavy for you. It's not preferred, and often not allowed in competition. Stop watching videos and reading about crossfit, and try it out for yourself, for real. The "quantity over quality" quote is also bs. There's plenty of technique practice in crossfit apart from the workouts, and a lot of emphasis on doing each exercise correctly.
finnpalm 3 months ago
@finnpalm I have tried it out for myself. And in the last post I said kipping can help weak beginners with power development. As for the "quantity over quality"- I wrote that in another post in the context of intensity and power development. Quantity refers to the strength endurance/higher reps that is trained in the majority of CF workouts. This is in comparison to the relative quality of power development trained by olympic lifters using higher intensity (per 1RM) and far fewer reps.

@brycecoad1 Fair enough. I guess something got lost in translation.

Kipping uses momentum to achieve the pull-up with less muscle energy exerted than the dead-hang pull-up. Don't kid yourself. I prefer dead hangs for 300s, but that's just it, it's my preference. Until somebody comes out and provides actual rep definitions for each exercise in the 300, it'll be something we cannot compare against others. I'm sure somebody will step up and do it soon: Steve Maxwell? Pavel?

werdman89 8 months ago
If you were just doing 50 pullups then you can do them strict, but your combining your pullups with a whole bunch of other exercises plus the aim is to complete the workout in as short a time as possible; its virtually impossible to do them strict and achieve the aim. The form isn't bad at all, its called kipping; as 'strict' pullups are a type of pullup so is a 'kip' pullup. Different crossfit workouts use different forms ie strict pronated pullup, kip, strict supinated pullup ect.
SteveVass8 8 months ago
I agree that everybody is apparently an expert here, but the fact of the matter is, for example, if you're hanging from a ledge with a 50ft drop you wouldnt try and do the perfect pullup in order to survive, you would hoist yourself up in the most effective manner. So the moral here is that perfect form isn't everything, people need to watch and learn

@EnglandAli well I served for 15 years in the royal marines, where the pull up is king, so I'm about as close to an expert on the movement as your'e going to get.

This style of training is great, it really is excellent and should be encouraged but this is bad form, plus by not doing them properly you are cheating yourself of the benefits.

@jotri007 I have done my homework. All I'm trying to point out is that the 300 workout calls for controlled pull-ups not kipping pull-ups. I have done the 300 workout with real pull-ups and can do both the kipping and controlled versions of the movement. I've trained with Steve Maxwell, if your familiar, and he is no fan of the kipping. He is a real master of body weight movements. The fact still remains that the kipping is for those that can't do the real thing or the reps required!

@samadhi64 The reason CrossFit uses the kipping pull-up goes back to their definition of fitness. They define fitness simply as they abitily to exert power (i.e. work/time). The work done in the two movements (i.e. dead-hang pull-up and kipping pull-up) is the same, but someone doing a kipping pull-up is able to do the pull-ups more quickly, thus exerting more power. So "the fact is" CrossFit uses the kip because it fits their fitness model! (exclamation point to emphasize how correct I am.)

@iammpk Nothing against kipping pull-ups as long as it goes AFTER classic pull-ups. The problem with Crossfit is that the original idea is deformed. Crossfit is not new. Boxing training is a crossfit: pull-ups, acrobatics, running, plyo, olympic moves, running, even fencing and swimming! But these guys got evrth down to few exercises. What about weighted pull-ups, weighted dips? My opinion is No crossfitter has rights to do kipping if he can't do at least 15 proper pull-ups, and many CANNOT!

@valgez1 i cant say i disagree completely. there's a lot more to crossfit, which you seem to know. the few moves you are seeing here is only because its a certain challenge obviously. the reason crossfit may lack variety is bc they are focusing on total body stuff... the basics, i guess. and just grouping it together to get one hell of a workout.
iammpk 9 months ago
@iammpk Yeah, the basics are the best, but it seems to me (at least from what i see in youtube) that kipping pull-ups are done as a refuge for those who cannot do proper pull-ups, and hanging cleans are done with terrible form in most crossfit videos. It's like "no worry if you can't do it, it's OK as long as you pay money". And, again, why simple pull-ups are never shown in Crossfit videos? Classic exercise in sports and military !!! May be i just don't like when smth gets commercialized.

@iwantsomegatorade dude. there's probably a lot of fitness stuff you've never seen before. not everyone wants to pose down at mr. olympia. its functional strength/conditioning.
the pull-ups are called kipping pull-ups.these guys arent the same douchebags you see at your gym kicking their legs around trying to pull themselves up. they are in complete control of that move. it promotes explosiveness and is more of a total body workout.

SO SO freakin wrong way to do pull-ups... it should be a controlled and smooth move, not swinging and going all way down, this puts too much pressure on your joints, especially shoulders. The arms need to be slightly bent, so the lats are constantly contracted...

That's awesome *durtydog*!!! Just ignore the little micro-fights going on between everyone. Whether it''s Bodybulding or CrossFit, Vegan or Paleo, we often forget that we're all looking toward the same path to Health & Wellness. I hope you find as much benifits from CrossFit as I did. (Note to everyone else: Pick what you love to do, and DO IT! And don't treat other systems as inferior.)

im in the marines and the marine corp recently got a major hardon for cross fit, this stuff got our whole company out of shape and injured the fuck out of every one, this stuff is a quick way to achieve little results and high injuries, its inspecific so you never push any one body part to its limit and the cardio is worse than running

Kipping pullups are sweet but I definitely like the butterfly pullups a lot better
