damn i can only do 3 and im a dude, she can whip my ass in a fight.

Why getting away of the knee/leg elevation? You're not lifting with your knees at all you're just balancing the weight cause the leverage is changing through the exercise.I do chins exactly that way,I think that's the natural form, if I don't balance with the legs I start swinging a lot.

Nice work..

Now do 1 chinup that takes 1min up and 1min down :D

[EllisonFitness]

I like that you're using good form and not cheating yourself from having strength, way to go!

[CrossfitRJG]

You're just ruining the chinups with chicken head movements.

@carlotapuig

Perhaps, but there are ways to minimize swinging, so it can be neglected.

[carlotapuig]

@Jouwl hi, biomechanics are way more complicated that only center of mass below some point at some moment. e.g. if you swing forwards and backwards without control you lose a lot of your strength just to compensate those forces

[Jouwl]

@carlotapuig

Gravity will make sure your center of mass is below the bar regardless of how you bend your knees or not. Bending knees makes it easier if the bending is done in the middle of a rep.

Also; awesome job, gubernatrix - i'm surprised and impressed (most chin/pull-up vids on youtube display crap form but yours does not)
