CF Ryno now you are just describing cross-fit, so naturally a cross-fitter would do better. Setting up a 1RM competition in the big 3 between a new power lifter and a new cross-fitter with the same lifting time, then narutally the power lifter would come out on top, since he has spent 100% of his training time improving the big 3, while the cross-fitter has been working on the big 3 for way less than that. Sure, the crossfitter has a higher 1RM or aMRaP in front-squats, oly lifts and bastardized CF lifts, but he would get crushed in the big 3. Cross-fit is not magic and you can't be better at every sport than athletes doing that sport exclusively. Take a look at the Cross-fit games and the running parts. They suck at that. But they are awesome at handstand walks.....

I laughed when I read Efficiency Tips for pullups froma crossfiter ... funniest thing I read today

Kipping in gymnastics is for doing tricks on the bar. Not for half assing pull-ups.

I love watching the comedy section of KZread fitness

There are some things I enjoy about crossfit, especially the butterfly pull up. When I turn my phone sideways, it looks like they are swimming upstream, now that's entertainment!

Kipping Pull-ups. A great way for beginners to fuck up their shoulders. Trashing your cartilage with multiples of body weight.

I just fucken hate crossfit

No one would be hating if you didn't call them "pull ups" and then brag about being able to do 100+ "pull ups". Can you understand that? All this conflict rises because people call them "pull ups". You have your own method of pull ups, good for you and whatever your goal is. Then people brag about being able to do over 100 pull ups and that's when it becomes a joke, because they never put it into context that they're doing their own special pull ups. It's universally known that a pull up is simply pulling your body up. No tricks no magic, that's it. So when someone brags they can do 100 in 1 set, but fail to specify they're not doing regular pull ups, but kipping which utilizes momentum instead, that's where this all looks incredibly stupid. Just be clear and no one will have an issue with this lol.

You're adding that descriptor based on your own preconceived bias. Here is the Oxford Dictionary's definition of the term: "an exercise involving raising oneself with one's arms by pulling up against a horizontal bar fixed above one's head." Nowhere in this definition does it say "without kipping." So why should the entirety of the fitness industry accept YOUR definition as fact? Personally, I think the term "pull-up" should include any method of moving your body from a position below the bar with arms completely extended to a position with your chin above the bar.

@@spencergsmith lol so tell me what does push up mean then? bro I'm not going to have debate on these basic questions. you need to spend more time learning rather then arguing on dumb shit.

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.

At the bottom of the kipping pullup the kinetic energy of the downward motion is absorbed by the shoulder joint instead of the biceps and other prime movers absorbing the energy to slow down the movement as you approach dead-hanging position. The kipping pullup is related to conservation of momentum, meaning that if you reduce momentum by absorbing energy during the eccentric phase of the rep, you will ultimately have to spend more energy to do subsequent reps.

This is a great exercise for building confidence and endurance. Most people can't do more than 5 pullups at a time which isn't much for strength building. A 'doable' exercise that mimics the same muscles is needed which is where the Kipping pullup is very useful in a practical sense. In competition it is what it is, speed is the point. But the kip does have a practical purpose as well.

Old school bodybuilders who do strict pull ups need to understand that kipping pullups are used to generate kinetic energy for gymnasts on the rings or bar in gymnastics... they are not necessarily done to build or develop lat muscles they are used to start other advanced moves on bars and rings.

Strick form is also used too, but sometimes "Body English" has its place. Can it be too much, sure, but there is a right and wrong way to use momentum to transition from one movement to another.

Do you think you can do more strict pullups than spealler? or clean more? What if the WOD included a bunch of other movements and we granted you your strictpullups? Think you'd be close to competitive?

THANK YOU!!!! NO exercise or motion is ONLY for ONE goal of "Absolute Strength" work… pull ups and any exercise/motion can be used to develop absolute strength or endurance or anything in between…

Chris Spealler is a great coach, so stoked to see him and Holmberg kill 13.4.

On 3:55 he starts to explain about elbow Position. But I didn't understand. Is it good or bad to put elbows back? Because he says it is good to stay Elbows Back, but on the practical explanation, he says 4:19 (BAD with elbows back), and 4:21 (Good with elbows in front). I saw and re-saw the explanation, but maybe I got an English difficult here. Not my native language.

Focus on keeping your bum, stomach, and legs tight. Not only will this help you maintain form, get your core strength up, but prevent any unnatural swing in the process.

exactly, i don't know if you've ever done a crossfit class but the way it is laid out is, part 1, warm up, part 2: strength eg, 1rm's or strict pull ups etc, phase 3: conditioning, this is where you would do the kipping pullup, and part 4: the warm down/stretching. and i agree it is a dead horse, no matter how you say it or how many times you say it people just don't want to listen because they're always right

Only kip after you've done several proper pull-ups, they are something to help you strive towards perfection; the training wheels eventually if you ride a bike.

Clearly, all these athletes can do strict pull ups exceptionally. When Chris refers to efficiency, he is talking about speed. Crossfit measures a pull up by getting your chin above the bar - so butterflys are the fastest way to get reps. Most of the people in this video have competed in the Crossfit games which is a competition where you have to complete work outs as fast as possible. Kipping may not build muscle as efficiently, but when trying to complete workouts as fast as you can, they are the most efficient.

The only problem u have w/ the kipping pullup is that it doesn't build muscle and u think that if he just did the standard pullup it'll be more efficient bcos it'll help develop their lats better, but not all ppl train to build muscle, they train for performance. Can u do muscle ups without the help of momentum?. And it's just the same with power cleans/jerk, u use momentum to be able to perform exercise in a controlled manner. Doing the kipping pullups is not just flopping or body, they still have control over the momentum their applying. The only thing slow control movement can help is in Bodybuilding, if u want to build muscle. But training for performance and athleticism, Bodybuilding type exercises are useless. Let's see a Bodybuilder perform crossfit/military type drills/exercises, we'll see how far they can get. Plus a Crossfit type training can be applied in the outside world better.

Omg where do i get Chris's shirt, thats so awesome!

I think its fairly pointless entering an 'online word war' with the haters out there who think 'this' is shit and 'that' is shit, but to all of those who have previously commented, in your 'expert' opinion, why are these forms of pull ups 'pointless'. Rather than just dropping a hate bomb, give a valid reason. I've been a trainer for over 5 years now and can confidantly say, a good one and in MY opinion, these are great forms of this exercise.

great teacher.

Do toques make you stronger? Or is he just cold

Serious question: When they created Cross fit and figured out that people cant do pull ups did they decide to make a BS way of doing a pull up with a huge kip? I just dont understand how a butterfly pull up can be considered a real pull up.

The point is to make it as easy as possible. It's a competition, about doing the most pull-ups, using the least amount of energy, that's why they practise this technique. If you don't compete in any way, i agree with you, on the fact that strict pull-ups are better in many ways.

Most people work out with the desire of getting stronger and or building muscle. Any movement that can be performed 30+ times is not efficiently making you stronger or building muscle. Kipping may be a useful tool for someone who is incapable of doing more than 1 or 2 strict pull ups, but once multiple kips can be performed in a row, it is my completely unprofessional opinion that that person should then graduate to an actual pull up to receive the most out of their workout.

Those haters out there, remember CrossFit is about full body exercise, meaning exercising the body not in isolation. So a standard pull up or even a crunch does not exist in CrossFit universe even though there is documentation that these isolated exercises are beneficial to building a specific area. CrossFit encourages more abdominal and hip development when you perform just about any activity. Think about hand stand pushups- they encourage using hips to move from flexion to extension to increase the ability to come to full elbow extension. Good video(from a guy who tried CrossFit but due to age changes finds its techniques not suitable to this guy). .

You have to be able to do a reg pull up before you kip. The kip also progresses to the muscle up. So if you have to run to go protect your family then be strong too?

We do do strict pull ups. We do weighted and strict pull ups during training. But for competition and timed events its a lot faster and efficient to do more for workouts where we have to do as many as possible.

Why not just stick with what's been proven to work for centuries with the original pull up? nothing wrong with crossfit but don't cheat yourself out of a proper pull up smh

You do a set of 10 normal(presumably strict from a dead hang, pause with chin over the bar). How many kipping pullups can you do? Strict pullups/chins require you to maintain a strong core.

This workout incorporates more of the body, balance, and cardio. It in no way replaces strict pull ups.

I did this in the gym and the paramedics were called. People thought I was having a heart attack ☹

If you said so send me all our research, I definitely want to know where you get that

If you don't like to build muscles, this is a great exercise for you!

Been incorporating some kipping pullups in the gym, and yeah I get weird looks, but hey, I'm bettering my body!

In a competition, judging numbers is much easier than judging 'proper form'.

ok than. how much could they lift? how far and fast could they run? in crossfit we want to be NON-specific

is that michael phelps around 2:00?

OK, maybe someone can answer this for me. Kipping/Butterfly is so efficient that there's no need in Crossfit for Chin-ups, Commando Pull-ups, One-arm Pull-ups, Towel Pull-ups, Wide-grip Pull-ups, Combo-grip Pull-ups, V Pull-ups, Plyo Pull-ups or Eccentric Pull-ups of any the aforementioned varieties? If it's designed for real-world applications, doesn't it happen in the real world where you may not be in ideal conditions where if you train with all the varieties I mentioned, you're more apt to find a way to handle the situation? Speed and time is one thing, but what if you're raising or lowering a rope with someone attached; speed is not wanted there. Or firefighters breaching a ceiling or wall; you're not going to have that shoulder-width grip to kip that you'd get with Towel Pull-ups. Address one or address all, because I'm curious.

agreed but again if you do it correctly by externally rotating your shoulder, your stabilizer muscles eg supraspinatus and the rotator cuff complex should prevent you from hyper extending by keeping the jumeral head centred in the glenoid cavity, if it is not doing that than there is probably a good chance that it may be weak or damaged. kipping pull ups should only be done imo by those that can do a minimum of 10 strict dead hangs to ensure that the joint is strong enough

During our military training there are those who can do pull up very fast but they do it like crossfit(this term do exist then) and they are bull-outed. The way it is done is pull your body up until your chin is above the bar without chinning up and better if you can raise your body up to the breast.

Butterfly kips, in fact, any kips in pullups. Scum of the earth. Cuts any benefit in half and will cause injuries. Wait, did I hear him say "not so efficient?" Holy crap, this is hilarious

Your lack of comprehension is what's hilarious.

Good for you. I don't care what other people chose to do. I was simply giving my opinion on it. To me, this is the same as putting your knees on the floor while doing press ups. It takes away much of the effort and much of the potential gains. Still better than nothing and in this day and age, any exercise should be viewed as a positive.

was that michael phelps?

Was that Michael Phelps around 2:04 in??

Most people who troll on these vids do not even know the difference between hypertrophy training and strength training anyways. Ballistics!

No arguement.You see this sought of thing all over the internet.Not just on youtube.

is that Michael Phels at 2:06 to the right of spealer?

In My "humble" opinion, it seems like most of the argument is based around kipping being "cheating" and "easier". However, what i think you missing is, that the kipping is more designed for the competition part of crossfit, don't forget that crossfit is mainly a sport. Just as a marathon runner, short sprinter, high jumper (sorry for bad english) or a football player, they want to do things fast for time at save energi for other parts of the game, or both! The training and muscle building is leading up to the event itself, but the competition doesn't have to be as much muscle building as the training, right?

+CodMaplekiller and that competitive quantity element is what makes crossfit stupid.

In a kipping pullup, the biceps and other muscles do not absorb as much energy in the eccentric phase which causes the body to swing forward, resulting in hyperextension of the shoulders; this allows the kinetic energy during the swing back to be used to complete the next repetition. The point is that since the biceps are not absorbing kinetic energy during the eccentric phase, the joint will absorb it during the swinging phase.You think force is energy, so there's no point in further discussion

The difference, though, is that the work is being performed by other muscles than the biceps, brachioradialis, and brachialis. In the case of kipping and butterfly pullups most of the force is initially generated by hip flexion and extension, which is then changed to momentum, meaning that less work is actually done by what are generally considered the prime movers of the pull up. A faster way to do a push up would be to flex and extend the back, but that wouldn't be effective training.

I would love to learn from Spealler. Absolutely love it. What a legend.

from a back building perspective i agree...but the point here is doing more pullups and do more pullups in less time...this is because in crossfit workouts your objective is often do more reps as possible in a given time or do a given amount of reps in the less time possible...it's all about work capacity not about lat building :)

Good form

This isn't considered bad form. Gymnastics have kipping and it's considered okay. If you want a strict pull up, which CrossFit calls for sometimes, then yes it's bad form. However, it allows it to be a slightly different workout, one for your back and a cardiovascular. kipping allows more volume.

I have. One was about 50 years old and a brazilian ju jitsu martial artist, and the other was probably a little older than 50 and was a gymnast. Both were very thin and probably not above 5'6''.

Look up the crossfit WOD Fran. That uses full body doing thrusters then you have to do pullups

is this real?

Well said...

The people in this seminar are high level, even Olympic level athletes. I would think that they know enough about body mechanics to make sure that they have a stable shoulder position in a gymnastics style movement like a kipping or butterfly "pull up". I am L1 coach and work with a variety of athletes at different levels and strengths, kipping is not for everyone right away. If you were unaware of how to keep your shoulder in a stable position through out the movement you will break and repetitively you are susceptible to injury but at a high level of fitness both physically and mentally these are not dangerous.

kipping pull ups fucked my shoulders up. its been 5 months and im still not where i was at when i injured myself. I used to be able to use 25lb weights in my pull ups. after the incident i couldnt even do 2. Im finally close to adding weight onto my pull ups but i will NEVER kip again.

That's what xfit wods are. Mult excercises for multiple rounds, with NO rest if possible, which all incorporate full body movements. Example we had to run 800m then straight to 15 reps deadlift 60% of max weight, then 20 over bar burpees, then 25 situps then repeat. All of those use your legs except situps. My partner and I repped 250.Didn't finish the last round except for the last 800m. My point really is that alot of movements that are done in crossfit is on no rest or minimal rest periods.
