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.

Pull ups

Pull ups is a exercise movement where you hang yourself from a bar and pull yourself up, this is a superior form to target the back than lat pull-downs, you can add weight to yourself if you are strong asf and you’ll have massive lats

Do you do pull ups? Yes just look at my back
