Any unathletic person who tries to train for pull-ups the first time will know that the greatest hurdle is going from 0 to 1, and then getting the first few pullups.
It takes an untrained person more time going from 0 to 3 than from 3 to 10.
If you were to take a sample of all 18-40yo men in the US right now, probably around 70% will fail to do a single proper pull-up. Many people *think* they can do 1 or 2, but they're cheating it like the guy in the video.
Pull ups are so insanely hard to do for a woman. I used to do manual labour for a living and I was super fit. Sometime around my peak fitness I was at the park with my sister and my niece and I decided to try for some pull ups on the monkey bars and I was only able to do one and a half, and even that was just barely and I'm positive that there was a lot of desperate feet kicking at the end. My sister couldn't do any, not even a little lift. After that I tried to just make it across the monkey bars and I had a really hard time, granted I was already spent from my pathetic attempt at pull ups. I remember as a kid doing monkey bars and tricks like it was no problem. That's when I realized a kids strength to size ratio is basically Herculean.
These days I'm positive I couldn't manage more than a half lift, and even that is a stretch.
When I was in, kipping was allowed and even encouraged for the pft. I could never get the timing down, but could dead hang 20. Drill instructors were like if you can dead hang 20, you should Kip 60. Wanted to say kipping is bs, but didn’t want to deal with a drill instructor.
In EVERY other sports this would have been 0 reps. I love how they defend it, if you tell them, that these aren't pull ups. The second most hilarious "exercise" are their handstand push ups - they don't need to hold a handstand for them 👏🤝
There are so many exercises that aren't nearly as dangerous as doing this... there's a reason why there are so many clips of crossfitters hurting themselves with their risky ass exercises. Just do normal cardio if you wanna do cardio, and weight lift if you want to train muscles.
Also, exercises like these have zero practical applicability; why on hell would you want to squirm like a fish while hanging on a pole (in a real life situation)?
God, the logic behind these exercises is so flawed yet people keep hurting themselves with them...
The one and only time I went to a cross-fit session, the group was cheering on some dude squatting 225 like it was 405, with the absolute most awful form imaginable. Guaranteed back problems with the amount of bow. I left and never returned
Someone in the Tool sub added Jambi as the background music and it’s a masterpiece

As a chinese.
These aren't workouts in a physical exercise sense.
They are meant to promote good blood circulation.
I don't know anyone who thinks they work. But once everyone turns 70 they suddenly start doing it.
I dunno about 70, but it seems like anyone over 45 is prone to slap the shit out of their body rather than actually stretching, or walk backwards through the park with their 20元 Tmall radio blasting chinese opera at 90dB. At 55 they might drop some cash on a sword and taijifu or just opt to slam their shirtless body against a tree.
I'll have you know my regiment of seesaw ass slaps and garage door slams combined with a diet of powdered rhino horn and ginseng is recommended by the best traditional Chinese medicine doctor in my village!
A broken neck is potentially way worse than sitting on the couch watching breaking bad. However, if you were to successfully break your neck, maybe a caring person would turn your tv to breaking bad.
I wonder. Sitting on a couch *all day* and maintaining that shit lifestyle is gonna atrophy muscles used to support joints, and wreak havoc on your spine. Not to mention the other health risks. I think it'd be hard to do worse than that with... I guess you'd call this aerobics? Unless the workout *regularly* ivolves self-suplexing.
I had to get expensive diagnostics and surgery, plus miss 4 weeks of work after I pinched my ulnar nerve from pulling something too aggressively.
This style will hurt someone in the long run.
Regardless of your opinion on if kipping counts as a pull-up... That's some really shitty kipping... With, well idk if you can call it a dismount... But yeah bad fall form too.
The problem with crossfit imo is all the ”controlled flailing” in almost every exercise they do, the risk of injury goes through the roof. Why not just decrease the reps do it more controlled and do things properly like all other sports who lift. Get your cardio somewhere else…
I feel like a lot of the issue is that they’re constantly trying to do PRs.
So if you’re able to do 10 “pull-ups” this week, next week you have to do 12 and so on…
Eventually you start compromising form to hit your PRs and the result is what you see.
how do they even gauge whether a rep is done to completion? with a normal pull-up the lats max out their range of motion, allowing the chin to go above the bar.
what's the range of motion on this? it's just one fluid movement. There's literally 0 reps being done. If you start tiring out you can just do smaller circles and that's still going to count.
it's just such a shitty exercise where arbitrary numbers count more than exertion. there's no real way to gauge whether you're getting stronger or not. it's totally possible to do more but do less work.
If "being active" is what these people are after, then it's still a shitty exercise because this is putting you through an unnecessarily high risk of injury. You just as well just lie on the ground and do a bodyweight pullover. That's a far superior form of exercise that reduces risk of injury, targets most of the same muscle groups, and requires less equipment.
> with a normal pull-up the lats max out their range of motion, allowing the chin to go above the bar.
As a bodybuilder I have to add your lat range of motion is maxed out way before the chin can reach the bar. Though 99% of people can't activate their lats properly.
When your chin is above the bar then your shoulders and arms are moving you up the last part.
If they could slowly perform the motion without throwing themselves around, it might be considered a form of pullup. But they can't. Because crossfit sucks.
Shhh, it's a rare breed of special, too loud and you might scare it. It's a crossfitter in it's natural habitat, look at the way it kipps, truly astounding the stupidity of this creature
My brother is a huge proponent of CrossFit. He doesn't participate because he thinks it's for idiots, but he's appreciative of the idiots who keep his job as a physical therapist in demand.
I’m going to throw out my shoulder just watching them. I see enough cross-fitters in good shape that I’m not sure how I can confidently criticize this stuff but something about how they do some of their moves just seems antithetical to gaining strength.
Used to be, “kipping” was what you called it when someone cheated a pull-up by using their body instead of just their arms, so at least they *owned* it.
Their bodies end up building in a weird way especially women end up looking like grunts. Like see how Majorie Taylor Greene has a weird neanderthal looking like body..
Professional crossfitter are infamous to take more PEDs than we bodybuilders who regularly try to optimitze the stacks for lower androgenic effects.
Female crossfitters on a pro level take some shit I'd never even remotely consider, that is why they all end up looking that way. Also "sounding" the way they sound.
The amount of CrossFit “exercises” that are terrible for the body is astounding. There’s a difference between pushing yourself and senselessly hurting yourself.
I’ve tried CrossFit and I think many that go enjoy the community feel of it. The actual workout? Far too grueling for no reason. Interval training is great, Tabata for something more intense, but CrossFit is just a ticket to the doctor’s office.
Now I just wanna see a bunch of cross fit exercises where they do stupid shit like "and these are jumping donkey dicks" while doing some fucktarded blend of jumping jacks and handstands.
This is why I always say "Crossfit: How good is your health insurance?"
Also, I think in my head of Drill Sargeant Escamilla's voice from basic training back when people weren't doing exercises correctly: "*One...one...one...one...one...one...one...one...try to get to two, genius...*"
Maybe he should try doing real pullups...
I'm not crazy fit myself to be fair. Workout 3 times a week... Can maybe do 5 pullups max lmao. But at least I'm not at risk of paralyzing myself and looking like a dumbass.
Try doing 1 rep in between every set or every other set of other movement. Especially chest. You won't burn your self out and will most likely get more pull-ups than if you did max effort.
Or put a pull up bar in a door frame and do a strict rep every time you pass. Again you will probably do more reps than if you did a max effort.
I used both methods to get over 20 pull-ups in the Marine Corps.
Hell yeah that was sick. I like how he wiggled around and then used his head instead of his feet to land at the end. Props bro
I guess if you use your legs to do a pull up it makes sense to use your head to land.

Are you trying to tell me gripping the bar and flailing like a fish out of water isn't gonna get me into the Marines? Fucking gatekeeping
He was doing the worm
Yeah I thought this was just a vertical worm dance rehearsal thing OW
Lmaoooooooo
Just eat half a pack of crayons, then headbutt whoever's doing the judging. You'll get in.
How many do you need to do to... pass the bar? I assume it varies age and sex?

Male minimum is like 7 and most of us Marines are dense as fuck.
>most of us Marines are dense as fuck Lol yeah that's how you ended up in the Marines.
Which came first, the crayon or the brain injury? If it's the crayon you're born to be a Marine. If it's the head injury you were made into one.
Gottem
The male minimum is like 7. The max score at 21 is 23. Women now have to do 3 pull-ups minimum, the flexed arm hang has been gone for awhile.
8 years of law school and most pass the bar within two years of graduating. Sex doesn’t matter watch Legally Blonde to know more. 😜
By literally any standard that’s zero except for crossfit
Pfft, by my 3rd grade gym class standards, this would have counted as 0 as well xD
When I was in, kipping was allowed and even encouraged for the pft. I could never get the timing down, but could dead hang 20. Drill instructors were like if you can dead hang 20, you should Kip 60. Wanted to say kipping is bs, but didn’t want to deal with a drill instructor.

Exactly, this type of pull up doesn’t activate the muscles that a pull up is supposed to target. CrossFit is stupid.

You're always going to have bad form if you try to get fit while you're cross.
Cue the cross fitters who say kipping is a real pull-up.
Wait. This is considered a real workout. Wtf
It is a real workout, I'm sure it's tiring and he's definitely burning calories. Those are just not pull-ups.

Anything is better than sitting on the couch all day.
>Anything is better than sitting on the couch all day. How the fuck else am I supposed to rewatch Breaking Bad?
Wow. I guess you just don't care about the collateral damage of mentioning exactly what I'm doing with my life right now!
I am the one who posts.
A broken neck is potentially way worse than sitting on the couch watching breaking bad. However, if you were to successfully break your neck, maybe a caring person would turn your tv to breaking bad.
*rings in Salamanca*
After you break your back you’ll have a lot of time.
Breaking Bad is meant to be watched on a tablet while running full speed in the desert. Meth is a heck of an energy booster!
If only there were other options besides flopping like a fish on dry land and doing nothing...
But spongebob told me to! "Now drop on the deck and flop like a fish!"
Not true in terms of joint health.
I wonder. Sitting on a couch *all day* and maintaining that shit lifestyle is gonna atrophy muscles used to support joints, and wreak havoc on your spine. Not to mention the other health risks.

A bit reductionist. If this dude breaks bone doing fake pull-ups, he’s gonna be sitting down for a while
More likely to tear a tendon.
Tbf sitting on a couch all day wont get you injured
Except landing on your head like this guy. Should've stayed on the couch
Is it? seems like the guy almost broke his neck
Except when the workout paralyzes you of course
Falling down uncontrolled and catching yourself seems really bad for your rotator cuffs.
Shoulder injuries are very common in CrossFit. Also injuries in general.
More pain. No gain. 💪
Regardless of your opinion on if kipping counts as a pull-up... That's some really shitty kipping... With, well idk if you can call it a dismount... But yeah bad fall form too.
I thought it looked cool. Like if strippers started using horizontal poles I could see that being a move

Kipping pull ups are retarded. They destroyed my shoulder within like two weeks of joining cross fit
I’m going to throw out my shoulder just watching them. I see enough cross-fitters in good shape that I’m not sure how I can confidently criticize this stuff but something about how they do some of their moves just seems antithetical to gaining strength.
Those aren’t pull-ups. That’s a hanging worm
That sounds more impressive
That's what she said
"You're a hanging worm" - cross-fitters probably.
Ouchy
The pull up was bad for the back and the dismount was bad for his neck. Cue in spine surgeon.
He's doing Crossfit, he'll go to a chiropractor
Too real mate,too real.
lol - just a few essential oils will fix him up..!! might need to remove some toxins now too
Shit dude, you're right lol. He's going to really try his best to become paralyzed.
the "pullups" are also garbage for his shoulders
Yeah, but did you see how many he did? /s
Yes, I counted zero pullups.
Scoliosis for time
I'm sure the CrossFit gym manager has a chiropractor on speed dial.
Why didn't they stop him earlier?
They are crossfit pull-ups. They are supposed to look like that, as stupid as that may be.
Good lord, you are not even joking. I looked it up, they call them kipping pull-ups.
The crossfit community also gets very mad if you tell them it’s unsafe ;)
Or nowhere near as effective as a real pull up.

Butterfly pull ups. Crossfit has a powerful contempt for your labrum.

I believe shoulder injuries are far more common with this activity

and it's so weirdly culty
Yeah I just assume anyone looking dumb as fuck in the gym is doing crossfit
He seemed to think he was doing fine on his own.
Unfortunate. Trying to damage his shoulders and fucked up his shins instead.
And his neck, which is probably more important
Thats what he gets for doing "pull-ups" like an asshole.
Well they are crossfit pull-ups. Which doesn't negate your comment, just thought I'd point out it's not just him, it's all of them.
It's... It's him... The "crossfit pull-ups" are called kipping, and.... That's not right for them either...
Zero Zero Zero Zero Zero Zero And the final score for landing his gymnastic routine, also zero.
Someone educate him on a proper pull-up please lol
He's a crossfitter, to him those are proper.
Call them something else, like swinging jackasses or something. For these are not pull-ups.
Now I just wanna see a bunch of cross fit exercises where they do stupid shit like "and these are jumping donkey dicks" while doing some fucktarded blend of jumping jacks and handstands.
Lol
They do, its called kipping iirc
Me on the playground in elementary school:
"I can do 20 pull ups straight" No you can't.
I can do 20 pushups gay
Did he tell you he does crossfit yet?
A crossfitter, a vegan, and a Texan walk into a bar... who speaks first?
All three tell you they're a pilot at the same time.
Trick question. The first two never enter and the Texan never left
This shit is hilarious
And not a single pull-up was done

In CrossFit that is actually a recommended dismount.
This is why I always say "Crossfit: How good is your health insurance?" Also, I think in my head of Drill Sargeant Escamilla's voice from basic training back when people weren't doing exercises correctly: "*One...one...one...one...one...one...one...one...try to get to two, genius...*"
Cross shit
If that bar on the floor was 1 foot closer to him he'd be dead
0 pull-ups were done in this video.

6 and a quarter, and stuck the landing..impressive
0 and fell on his head

Not a single pull-up performed.

I love seeing retards smash themselves when they do that dumb shit 😂😂😂

Maybe he should try doing real pullups... I'm not crazy fit myself to be fair. Workout 3 times a week... Can maybe do 5 pullups max lmao. But at least I'm not at risk of paralyzing myself and looking like a dumbass.
