Horrible form, and what is the point?

But you guys, if I were hanging off the side of a ledge, I would pull my body up just like that as many times as I could in two minutes.

Can't stand kipping. I did a crossfit work out on the weekend which required 100 pull ups, not all at once mind you, but I didn't kip any of them. Seems pointless to me. I do the exercises because they are hard to do and test my body, I don't want to cut corners to make it easier. What is the point in that???

And Frank Medrano is a beast (a vegan one at that)

How does the kipping thing work?

I just tried to do a kipping pull-up and ended up just wriggling like a spaz for a few seconds then straightening up while pulling and doing a regular pull-up...

essentially you use momentum, not strength to do the pull up, faster you go the easier it is, as long as you stay controlled. I would never do them though. If you suck a pull-ups do negatives or assisted real ones instead.

I watch his Youtube videos with him and his wife. They do amazing bar work and are vegans. Impressive stuff.

I can't stop watching... it's sooo... amazing... and his muscles look so perfect I would almost believe they are photoshopped and not real...

edit, because of the awesomeness I couldn't focus on spelling.

I'm a Crossfitter and I have never done a kipping pull up. I can't even kip really, because I haven't worked on it. When I do pull ups, I do strict pull ups and I use a band to assist me if I need to. It sucks to be the only guy using a band, but eventually I'll get to the point that I don't need it anymore. I just haven't been able to buy in on kipping, but I love everything else about CF.

I just looked him up. He is definitely a beast!

^ All of this. We do strict or assisted at my box. And there's a couple guys who use bands in my class, so you are definitely not alone. :flowerforyou:
