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 often erroneously promoted 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.
