The butterfly kip is only to get your chin over the bar the most times in the shortest time. That's it. The case for functionality is very weak.
But this dude is doing them pretty much as well as they can be done, beautiful circular form anf minimal shoulder slack on the way downand, and I feel like he probably can and does do strict work on the bar all the time. So, respect where it's due.

@Jaikano Then what is the point? Just doing them for the sake of it?

@Jaikano ic, crossfitters always talking about functional movement but this is only good at getting you better at the cross fit wod?

I'll say it for you, and not a single pull up was done

People dont understand that some Crossfit workouts have you doing well over 100 pull ups. There is NOOOOO WAY you are going to do 100 perfect form pull ups, especially if you are racing against a clock. These are designed to get the pull up done as fast as possible while keeping your full body activated.

awsome! :D

Lol, nice job looking like a fish out of water.

This isn't meant to do SOLELY the back, as in a strict, back of hand facing you, pullup. This is meant to be a full-bodied pullup. You get a crap-ton of AB workout as well, as chest and back. You should try these before you go talking trash.
There are alot of crossfit haters out there, but until you go and do one of these workouts, try not to hate on it!
Any of the crossfit affiliates offer a free class. Go in, get your ass kicked, and get hooked!

It´s functional, you are using your hips, legs, your abs, your back, coordination, agility
"...he's swooping the SHIT out of his legs!" Favorite quote so far from Mr. Khalipa.

Ahhhh god people with the "this is cheating" "this won't work ur back as well as strict" "what muscles does this work"..........IT DOESN'T MATTER ABOUT THOSE THINGS. Butterfly pullups and kipping pullups are designed to get ur chin above the bar as fast as possible with as little energy used as possible. Not to work your muscles or show off at how many pullups u can do.
