CrossFit pull-up

a meritless and fraudulent set(s)/repetitions of pronated pull-ups performed by exploiting the momentum gained through kipping cloaked as thoracic convulsions executed in an elliptical path on a standard, fixed, elevated, horizontal pull-up bar; it is erroneously promoted often by CrossFitters as a "functional movement"

Those CrossFit clowns love to claim that their CrossFit pull-ups are better for strength as a (purportedly) "functional" exercise when, in fact, it doesn't even measure true upper body strength since it relies on momentum - unlike a true or traditional pronated pull-up which is, when executed properly, a superior closed kinetic chain compound movement and a more appropriate indicator of upper body strength since the primary muscles involved (i.e., latissimus dorsi, trapezius, and biceps brachii) are forced to work (concentrically and eccentrically) WITHOUT utilizing momentum.

Pulling A Michael

Spilling the bowl while smoking weed and just walking away instead of apologizing or attempting to clean it up.

pulling a syrah

Pulling an syrah defines being extremely dry after someone put a lot of effort into replying to her texts. The most common answers are ‘tof’, ‘oei’, ‘wow’ or ‘leuk’.

Wow she replied so dry, she is pulling a syrah
