Butterfly Pull-ups - First take

I had done these a few times before but this is the first time, I filmed and put any effort into them. They are getting better each time. CrossFit games are coming up and this seem to be much easier on the hands.

yes, given the title, these pull-ups were not quite "baked" yet. Thanks for the comments though. A great video can be found on th crossfit site. Search for Mike G on butterfly pull-ups in May 2008.

agreed 100%.

CF works, period. For those who say it doesn't you're not pushing yourself hard enough.

Kama, make an argument with facts not opinions.

rockad, I agree that CF isn't for everyone. SCALED workouts can be used for people "just getting started" but anything can be, and is, scaled for beginners, not just CF.

To do a CF workout takes strength, power, speed and coordination. Too easy? Do it faster or add weight. Don't like it then don't do it, but don't say it doesn't work.

i did this stuff for a while and it was like taking two steps back. it's good for the average person who's just getting started, but not very beneficial for someone who has been exercising for a while or wants to excel in any one area.

i've done linda in 16 minutes at 175lbs. it was tough, but not something that i would really benefit from. anyway, that's the only decent workout they have posted on that site.

Kama, i challenge you to do any functional fitness program for a month. If you actually put effort into the workouts, and dont see any improvement in your overall physical capabilities then you may be right about your comment. Ive noticed a good amount of time people that bash it, dont put out, nor do they do the movements properly.

Those are kipping pull-ups not butterflys.

And to the idiot that said Crossfit is BS I indulge him to try Linda aka "3 bars of death!"

[arsallah404]

uhh dude how long did it take you to get these types of pullups done? I've recently tried doing the normal kipps but i'm kinda gettin no where...

[cbriggs07]

Good call.

Kama - would you share your WO's? I need to be enlightened.

IO'm sorry cross fit is such bullshit.  It's pure body englishand your muscles are doing NO WORK. Whatever makes you feel good though.
