Kipping pullups absolutely make pullups easier to do. But that's why you add more pullups. You say that you want to see someone deadlift 900 pounds, then you'll consider them comparable to a professional athlete. All that means is you think that Crossfit is amatuer weightlifting. Show me five people from the NBA, NFL, NHL combined that deadlift that much. Professional Crossfitters are experts at what they do. Your opinion doesn't change that. Crossfit is a sport in its own right.
James B is correct in what he stated regarding the different types of pull-ups. But they do at least 3 different types: strict (not done as often in the official competitions it seems), chest to bar, and chin to bar. He was a bit inaccurate about the type of pull-up they were doing in this workout as they were doing chin to bar, not chest to bar.
i think he means, thats its hard to correct the butterfly/kipping pullup, because the are fast and you cant rly see as a judge if the athlete pulled high enough. sry if my english is bad im from germany
It really annoys me when people think that strict pullups are the only type of pullups that should count. What's the definition of a pullup? To go from arms locked out hanging below the bar, to chin above the bar. Every athlete in this video did that 125 times in this video. Post a video of you doing 125 pullups please.
Well they do two different types of pull-ups. The strict pull-up that everyone knows, and the chest to bar pull-up (also known as a kipping pull-up), which is what they're doing here.
Define a pull up... Everyone is actively pulling themselves up to the bar... they are simply using momentum by using the "Butterfly" technique allowing them to do more reps at a time... Just like using a dip drive to press more weight or using a Jerk to get even more weight over head... Learn up!
+badmeetsevi12345 seriously the only thing bad in crosfit is the tech for the pull ups. Why are you supporting such a disgrace form in such a beautiful sport as crossfit?
badmeetsevi12345 i know that no self respecting man or woman would call those pull ups. Those are just shorty kippers that destroy your rotator cuffs. I don't care let them keep doing it, in the future we'll be able to weed out the former xfit tards by the slew of debilitating injuries they have. What kind of sport takes lifts that are usually done for 1RM and with extreme time and preparation and decide to say 'ok now see how many of these you can do in x amount of time!' Definitely isn't motivation for injury, not at all. /s
Not sure what anyone else thinks, but I don't think that Josh's pullups should have been counted as reps. It appears that many times, his chin did not reach the level of the bar (and actually, I believe the chin is supposed to be above the level of the bar). His judge was very generous at least in my opinion.
the logic that you should always do strict pullups is like saying you should always do overhead press and never jerk or push press. Each has its place.
I doubt all of those people weigh 300 pounds and live in their moms basement. maybe like 1 out of every 6 people that say that, but im sure most people that are saying that actually do pullups, and look on that like why am I not there.
I'm not that impressed with Bridges. He has a big advantage with his short arms and relatively low body weight. Plus his chin was barely clearing on the pullups, compared to the other athletes.
crossfit favors no one, there were workouts that favored the taller person and workouts that favored the shorter person, that's why they had a row in the beginning of the workout. Josh Bridges was just the better man on this workout
do be fair they arnt. They are butterfly pullups or whatever you wish to call them. Not saying they arnt impressive. They should be called what they are.
Stop bullshitting, we both know the difference between pull ups and kipping pull ups. One is letting momentum do the work for you while the other is a controlled movement that requires quite a bit of strength.
It's like curling with your back, cheating, making it easier to do, hence rendering the results incomparable with actual pull-ups. I'd also like to see you deadlift 900 pounds, if you can do that I'll show you how I compare to PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES. God I don't know where some people come up with these arguments, "go do what they do or you're just wrong". Are you going to yell at the judges too for not counting a rep since the judge can't do what the athlete is doing? Unbelievably stupid.
I love how they're all humble and cheer each other on at the end. Such good sportsmanship and that's rare.
Ya that's part of why I love crossfit

ty so much man..that just made my day

You must know so much about exercise and form.

David Miles Well said, poor state of mind. I can tell most of the information is from things said by most people rather than experience.
It really annoys me that people think that kipping pull ups count as pull ups.
CrossFit: spastic hyperactivity substituting for correct technique

Roflmao. There is zero reason to do flopping pullups except to get "MORE REPS". Its like doing chest-bouncing bench presses. Stupid.
Why is James B's comment so inaccurate?
Zero! Zero! Zero! Those "pull-ups" are ridiculous.
The best thing about these comments that keep saying oh those aren't real pull-ups, I bet all the people weigh 300lbs and live in their moms basement
6:11 song???

Crossfit: No form what-so-ever.
these are not chest to bar. these are chin to bar
skip to 6:00
It's a kip pull up
do be fair they arnt. They are butterfly pullups or whatever you wish to call them. Not saying they arnt impressive. They should be called what they are.
anyone else get tired watching this?
that ain't no pull-ups
Crossfit pull-ups aren't real pull-ups.. more like flop-ups. Still impressive tho.
Damn
This is so inaccurate I wouldn't even know where to start correcting you
21:22 WTF a guy doing a snatch with 1 hand?
He fractured his other wrist while doing a handstand walk, and still wanted to compete, so he snatched 70kg with 1 hand.
