Strange pull-ups

Chris Kimmerly · 10-08-2006, 06:34 PM

Has anybody done pull-ups like these. You will have to watch the clip a bit to see them. Just wondering if they are effective at building the strength to do them with proper form

those were the worst god damn pull ups i have ever seen in my life. someone should be shot for that.

it shouldn't look like your having a seizure while doing a pulll up.

Negatives, Kipping pullups, assisted pullups will all help you to do legitimate pullups.
Kipping pullups can be something of a full body conditioning exercise. I don't personally do them, but they have their place.

This is a ladies workout. I didn't read the description, but 10-1 reps of BW DL and chins? Unless the goal is to do it in under 5 minutes, who gives a f.

The facility that the vid is shot at has a bunch of "Boot Camp" videos linked as well. What a pack of dingleberries.

Bodyweight Deadlift? Who the hell does a bodyweight deadlift? Not even with a pyramid system would it be hard. Now if they did the 10-1 system on Pull-ups with good form I would be impressed with that. 1.5xBW or 2xBW DL with the 10-1 system would be much more of a challenge. 1.5x would still be doable for beginners and females.

They looked funny

I would only do them if I couldnt do a normal pullup

Kipping pull-ups - because you suck and want to claim your workout included a set of 25 pull-ups.

I did a five minute workout of just BW deadlifts, doing as many as possible in the time, that was quite fun and tough. Would only do it once in a while as a way to improve endurance.

a bodyweight deadlift is lifting as much as your own bodyweight ? If it's too easy, how much should you start with ?

As much as is difficult, yet can still be lifted without compromising form.

Crossfitters love the kipping pullup. To me - it's just a shitty, cheat pullup. I think that type of pullup have the potential for shoulder injuries. They are not allowed in the military or in any PT test I have ever taken.
