Once again, Andrew, you demonstrate to the world how much of a pussy you are. Kipping pull ups are highly functional and very hardcore.

Idiot.

Bosu balls are for pussies. Any good Crossfitter knows that unstable surface training is worthless.

What is this supposed to train, it looks like you're treading through water except you're on a bar.

This is used as conditioning, it's not supposed to be a strength exercise primarily I guess.

This is used to destroy the rotator cuffs, it's not supposed to be a strength exercise primarily I guess.

Fixed.

I am a pussy, this is true

that crap looks useless...it's just garbo, makes me think of the nfl combine

Why don't they do real push-ups and do that on the squat? to me that looks=to rounding on squat

definitely not similar to rounding on a squat, more like doing a half squat instead of ATG.. it just makes the movement less intense, not really biomechanically dangerous at all.

when i was at state we had a coach that became crossfit certified and man...

all his teams form went to shit (not a big drop as his teams only went from suck to shit on the dave tate scale) after he began allowing the crossfit slop.  I have never seen more round back deadlifting then when I have watched his teams and his crossfit classes he leads....

Then in pull up testing for upper back strength he allows kip ups...  And then has the nerve to brag about how many pull ups his athletes can do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HATE CROSSFIT!!!!!

Bragging about kip ups vs pull ups is like bragging about box jumps vs vertec jumps

damn.. i thought cross fitters prided themselves in learning the lifts properly, even though, during their masochistic puke sessions, they may sacrifice form significantly..

i see your anger, and feel your anger alexv.

i just don't get how a coach could brag about kipups by calling them pullups, why are these people so dense.. i mean, if he bragged about kipups numbers it would be alot more tolerable.. "breh, Oleg hit 55 kipups today, sick PR" ok cool.. it becomes worse when they say "breh, Oleg hit 55 pullups today, sick PR" when they are really doing kipups, this offense would be punishable by death in North Korea under Kim Jong Un's leadership.

i luv crossfit chicks tho :f
