For push-heavy “JT,” he suggests finding a wall or doing the hammer curl and press instead of traditional handstand push-ups.

why didn’t the guy in the black shirt use another pull-up bar? is he trying to break his face?
you try doing that many pullups without moving your lower then come back and write something
if you dudes need to get ripped quicker without wasting a single another minute in the gym, then you must look closely this video tutorial SIXPP.COMGemmaWas he really looking at me that way? KartikWhat way? GemmaLike a piece of ripe fruit? KatrikYou’d best be on your guard with him.
Form is legit on those KBs, we assume the bigger squat and hip thrust are necessary because we can’t manhandle the weight the way he is.
Most CF haters can’t be bothered to try it out, they know it’s too hard!
i don’t know what you are talking about. Her butterfly and kippings both look fine
This is the point: we get to see her ass kb:ing, and his 6pack? =) Boink boink..
By the way, if I got the answer correct, you claim (his only?) the kb weighs 74ish pounds? No way. Hers looks like max 16kg and his max 24kg ie. even that would be less than 60 pounds without using calculator. But nevertheless, nice set.
look at the date the video was posted. at the time all that was asked of the athlete was lockout with ear exposed… obviously it has changed now.
Those are butterfly pull ups not kipping… the girl starts kipping at 3:21. And if the guy would squat more when he did his kettle swings he would probably save his back a lot of stress…
look ass holes. sports arnt meant to be safe. theyre meant to be fun. and crossfit is fun as fuck. last time i checked two meat heads smashing helmets into eachother isnt the safest thing in the world but people still do it. so stop QQing and if you dont like it then dont watch it
Did this today. CrossFit White Rock in Dallas. 30:00. Insane hard
20″ inch biceps, I would to isolation bicep curls; but I don’t. If you want 20″ biceps, then do curls. There is just no reason to bash on something just because it’s not what you’re interested in. A traditional weight lifter would be dragging ass if they jumped into a Crossfit workout; a crossfitter won’t get the competition style body that traditional weight lifter’s shoot for. Neither are bad. Quit bitching about everything.
These guys are amazing. I was doing half Helen on my 3rd day in 17 mins.
crossfit is a joke. This gimmick will go away faster than p90x. You want to get strong and buff? Lift heavy, train heavy. Crossfit and P90x is all core stuff that puts you on a plateaued level of training, never advancing to the next stage of strength and building muscles.
no way he ran a 50s 400m, nor did she run a 1:00 400m lol…
thats not fucking pull ups! there more like swinggy upes!
There seem to be a lot of very angry people commenting here. If that’s what happens to you if you “train hard! Hoo rah!!” then I’m glad I wouldn’t be able to do half as well as the people in the video. Sure they swing doing pullups and sure the weights aren’t heavy. So what? Honestly, I’d probably collapse after the first run down the road. Going to have another cigarette and watch something with fewer aggressive comments beneath it now. See ya!
Unless the video was altered in some way, it shows that Lance only did 11 pullups on the last round! No bueno hombre!
Working with a different standard than most folks are familiar with. In CrossFit the standard is that your arms must be fully extended at the elbow and at the shoulder and that your chin must cross the plane of the bar at the top of the pull-up. The kipping part is what most people find so odd. It’s just a way to cycle through them faster since CrossFit is such a test of efficiency.
I’m not a crossfit hater but I will admit I’m no fan of kipping pull ups.
I do a similar routine on my non lifting days; I sprint, swing or snatch, then run again. I do enough pull ups on bench day. It off sets the push with a pull.
Crossfit is a competative way to get what’s called “general physical preparedness”. I’m a aspiring powerlifter and since adding kettlebells and sprints into my workout my mobility is increasing.
So, she claims to eat 3000-3500 calories, but her macros are only 2800-2900?
Those swings are just plain awful, not to mention those ridiculous “pull-ups”
Ha ha. That’s funny that you think that man. Thousands of CrossFit affiliates all over the world and growing daily. Some of these “gyms” have over 1,000 clients. CrossFit certifies 2 to 3 hundred people every single weekend to be coaches. Gimmick that’s going away? I don’t think so bud. I’d encourage you to try ONE CrossFit workout!
Kipping pullups are not cheating, lame, easy or pointless. They are simply a different exercise. At my gym we do kipping pullups AND sometimes chest to bar strict pullups. Both have their benefits. The ingorance of those of you who can’t see that is just astounding. Get out and try this workout.
These guys are super fit to do that in around 8 mins. Good job (except the dude only did 11 on that last set).
fail. lifting weights makes you strong. olympians lift weights. crossfitters lift weights. jersey shore cosmo lifters pull cables and bust extensions. lifting weights = good
@Essjay09able Join up and don’t give a single thought to be embarrassed. Everybody in whatever gym you’re in will be helpful. Back when I started I remember getting stuck under a bar that had weights on it that are so small I call them “cookies”. But everybody in the gym was willing to spot me and help me train and years later I’m one of the stronger guys there. Also, the videos posted are generally the more superhuman Xfitters. There will be newbies at your actual gym struggling with you!
It bothers me a lot that they are running on the road when there is a perfectly good sidewalk for the entire run distance. That’s what the sidewalk is for, use it!
Sorry Lance, you get to start over at rep 1 as you didn’t keep count sir!
It is a type of pull ups. This is the type they do in Cross Fits.
If you want to be an athlete, do Crossfit. If you want to pick up chicks with your vanity muscles (and probably never work out your legs) lift weights.
all the people hating on crossfit…… what have you really done with your life? I mean if you’re an elite athlete who has gone through crossfit and other programs then your opinion means more but couch potatoes shouldn’t just sit back and give dumb judgements.
I didnt like crossfit until i tried just one time, and got really intrested its very active not boring as weight lifting dont get the same results but got more endurance last a lot more doing whatever just what i needed to keep whit my child im happy about it.
as far as fitness is concerned, 1995 is damn well over night. many forms are well over 3,000yrs old, to compare less than 20 to that is over night… not negating the fact its a fantasti way to ge tin shape…but since 1995… its over night
Chris Hogan Some pull ups were “no rep” Chin did not pass the bar…
CrossFit is really made for people in teens and early 20’s because this is when you are at your top conditioning.
Why is it so hard for older people to do it is it because they are slackers?No, that isn’t the reason it is because the muscle fibers after puberty start dying off and aren’t replaced so how do older people keep up by exercising the remaining fibers but at some point as you age you can’t win this race.CrossFit is great because it produces heart and lung conditioning.
wat size kettle bells r bein used by both of them or wats average size 4 men an women???????
on last round the dude only did 11 pullups not 12.. unfinished wod lol
ppl need to stop hating on the pull ups the pull ups Crossfitters do are the same ones as gymnasts but i guess gymnasts are doing everything wrong too
we did this at my box today it was really hard! I have been doing crossfit for almost 4 months, I used RX for the KBS but had to scale the pull-ups. 13:39 of pain! I will break 10 next time
Love the workout, however, both of these athletes would be “NO REP’d” for every single one of their KB swings. Not the best demo of a WOD I have ever seen. Solid engines and a high capacity for work by both of them, but I hate to see people put up times for benchmark WODS that clearly do not reach the standards of movement.
you wanna body build? post a vid of how many STRICT pullups you can do. i’ll do the same. then we can all laugh you, mmkay
Crossfit KB swings aim more to work the full range of motion in an explosive power fashion. I completely understand where your coming from but i think that, when your do “normal” KB swings you could probably go much heavier much faster or with less build up. To go heavy in this swings as you do in crossfit i think you’ll need to do more gradual building as you rare training through a larger range of motion and therefore your going to be using some of the smaller weaker muscle groups too
Crossfit will help you run away from the zombies. Weight lifting will help you snap some Zombie shit up.
No one in crossfit does pullups properly. They call them “kipping pullups”.
Did 2 rounds of Helen and 2 rounds of Kelly last night. It took me 26:30 to do it. The folks in this video are in great shape!
We do weighted, static and kipping pull ups at our gym. They are all equally useful. Cross fit haters love to hate kipping! I think they are just afraid to get winded or break a sweat. Or, oh no you’re going to injure yourself Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
I did a Helen on my first CF class. CF is awesome, I’ve done other gyms P/trainers, insanity programme; they do not in my opinion compare!
Cheating to make the exercise easier only means less gains for you.
Comparing Crossfit to weight lifting is like comparing baseball to football. They’re not even comparable. The goals are different; the means of reaching those goals are different. I have done both in my lifetime and I like them both. As far as pull-ups go, you should be doing both. As long as you are controlling your kipping you won’t get injured. If you go limp on the way down, yeah, you’re going to hurt yourself. I do crossfit because it’s fun, not to get 20″ biceps. If I wanted…
@uwkmfgs yeah. even i was very sad since i workout well for abs but nothing was coming. btw!but ye My international body building trainer also recommended this 7 food elements to kill your fat belly. have a look here -> bit.ly/UWAw3f?=ywevra
yes I agree cant even believe it. even i was very sad since i workout well for abs but nothing was coming. Listen The surprising part is my friend who is not doing much excercises, maintaining his six pack with this secret food items. you can see it here -> bit.ly/16iEcC9?=hofhl
POWER is the answer… indeed these guys are not doing the correct crossfit form
Well the best crossfitters can outperform some athletes,but overall not at all
Yeah but in 10 years when a zombie apocalypse does happen, crossfitters won’t have a back left, or shoulders.
Is the tape on her shoulder because of the way she does those pull-ups??? Why does crossfit causes so many injuries?!?!?!
LOL people debating crossfit vs. traditional weight training. Crossfit isn’t something that sprung up over night, it’s been alive since 1995, people are just now noticing the benefits of it. If you’re a traditional workout kind of person, awesome, if it’s helping you with your daily life, then great, but don’t come over here and piss in our kool aid. You’re fuckin’ up the flavor. All I’m saying is, bicep curls and strict pull ups won’t help you during the zombie apocalypse…crossfit will.
Crossfit haters!!!! Try it and then talk. You can’t keep up!!!
You seem really bitter. You must be a “crossfitter” am I right? That’s alright buddy, you go ahead with your STRICT pullups. Let me know when you can deadlift properly and on my level. Otherwise, just STFU.
Im going to wreck crossfitters in the zombie apocalype. I powerlift and do parkour, you bunch of weenies!
Great workout, will have to incorporate this into my regimen once it get’s nicer out! Would love for you guys to check out my channel and rate my vids.
Keep going strong, and ignore the haters!
that’s why you make sure you have good form before going into it. While time is always a factor, the most difficult part is concentrating on maintaining form throughout the entire workout
Awesome Keeps me inspired. Don’t like CrossFIt? It’s easy to fuck off and do your own thing No big deal. Put 100% into whatever it is you do and enjoy!
And in the world of completely unncessary athletic tape….
Everyone cries like little baby’s on here…. waaaah waaaah waaah… This like everything else will destroy your body eventually, it’s for adrenaline junkies …. accept it… bla bla bla bla
I like this workout because even as a beginner intermediate athlete, I can easily do everything unbroken
ive worked out like a body builder for years im just about to start doing some CF so im in no way a hater but jezz the pullups are ridicules
Now try doing a pull up without moving your lower body…and swinging without going overhead and only to your chest.
The Rock revealed on his ig a few years ago cheat meals: �� ��
or people can mix up these two forms of training… just an idea
Mark Rippetoe:
“Kipping chin-ups/pull-ups are a derivative of the jumping version. The movement is performed using the momentum of a slight swing preceding the pull, when the swing is converted into an upward roll of the hips, translating the swing energy into upward movement. The kip distributes the movement over more muscle mass, using the abs, hip flexors, and lower back in addition to the lats and arms, so that more muscle mass is used in the exercise and more reps can be done. The strict versions concentrate the effort on less muscle mass and work it harder.
The strict pull-up is to the strict standing press what the kipping pull-up is to the push-press. Both the strict press and the push-press will get the weight overhead, but the latter way would get it there faster, just as would the kipping pull-up. Think of it from a functional perspective; if you needed to get up on top of a wall as fast as possible would you do a strict pull-up or would you use your entire body to heave yourself up on top of the wall as fast as possible? (and if dogs were chasing you would you even have to consider this?)
Mainly it depends on your goals. I think it’s worthwhile for many of us to train as many grips/variations as possible, like thickbar pull-ups, rotating bar pull-ups, ring pull-ups, towel pull-ups, kipping pull-ups, L-sit pull-ups, prone/supine/neutral grip pull-ups, one arm pull-ups, wide, narrow, etc! I don’t believe there is any one “best way” to pull our bodies up from a hanging position given the variety of physical obstacles that could fit the bill. These range from tree climbing, to wall climbing, to rope climbing, to sport climbing, to anything climbable. I relate this to the variety of ways that an object can be picked up off of the ground. Sure it would be nice to always lift things up with a straight back, but that isn’t always practical, so it makes sense to train with a rounded back too. Ultimately it needs to meet your goals though. So if you just want big strong biceps, do chins, but if you want to climb a tree or use gymnastic rings, better train them all. And if you never have any ambition of competing in Ninja Warrior or scaling the Eiffel Tower there’s nothing wrong with that either.
That’s really all I have to say about it… I’ve seen arguments over the legitimacy of kipping go on forever and that’s not what this article is about. Look over at crossfit.com and you’ll see this already hashed out. It’s a personal decision in the end; if you don’t like kipping and you prefer to isolate the pulling muscles, do strict pull-ups. It’s no big deal.
Hope that clear it up at least a little bit.”
For all you talking crap about the pull ups. Do you do anything besides bench press and pull downs? If you do not do pull ups, thrusters, KBS swings then SHUT THE HELL UP!
i dont see why people are fighting if you’re smart you’ll do a little bit of both crossfit helps me burn all that sneaky fat and have toned muscles while regular weight lifting helps me get that big broad chest.
I’ll agree to disagree. I would rather do Kettleball workouts than Crossfit. Crossfit promotes bad form among other things. It’s going to mess you up in the end once you stop doing it.
the best part is seeing the older lady with faded jeans and the girl with the baby stroller walking around the track as he’s doing this intense workout.
