   L-chin ups…not pullups…still hurt like hell tho…kipping kills my forearm more than strict…butterfly looks very interesting…never heard of it before tho…anybody know the benefits of the butterfly?

   @bombscom …….how bout you do those pull ups with out kipping……kips do make the exercise easier overall momentum helps any type of movement

   Yet, the usmc does crossfit-related workouts.

   To me, this is a useful tech., especially if you are into things like rock climbing or parkour, which would presumably require you to have good pulling skills.

   Ok, cool, now do it without swinging.

   @yamaharider58 Ignorant people are delusional as well.

    @mannyphresh1 thats how its done…its a kipping pullup. mostly used in crossfit workout where its about speed. they work the whole body rather than just the shoulder and upper back. its not cheating as many ignorant people like to say it is

13. Death2theLight on July 1st, 2010 1:15 am

    this guy is a hero!
    butterfly kips are amazing, and L pullups are soo hard. if he really did all those in a few minutes… just wow

    Guys do not do it to increas max dead hang pull-ups. That is not what it is for and has nothing to do with max dead hang pull-ups. This is an aerobic exercise and if done right helps with explosiveness. This guy is doing it right no jerking.

    Quit swinging

16. str94100 on July 1st, 2010 2:47 am

    personally i dont like to count a rep unless its a full extension dead hang, but i do know alot of guys who swear by kips

17. breitenstein01 on July 1st, 2010 3:10 am

    A kipping pull-up is more of a muscular/aerobic exercise. Guys will use these to increase there max dead hang pull-ups.

    In physics that concept of power is correct, but in this context he is not really developing power as the momentum disables the need for a substantial amount of muscle fibers to be recruited for the movement. If he wanted to develop power he’d be better doing 5-10 weighted, strict form pullups, with the contraction component being performed as fast as possible.

    They call these “wall-fuckers” in the usmc

20. Kottonmouthdon on July 1st, 2010 5:39 am

    @oaklandraider81
    totaly agree .. momentum just makes there no need for muscle.. and not only is he not doing pull ups right … hes even kipping wrong.. kipping ure knees are supposed to passed the bar … at least thats how they taught us in the corpse .. I have yet to find a video of someone correctly kipping on youtube

21. jakec126 on July 1st, 2010 6:21 am

    @oaklandraider81 it’s not necessarily just trying to look cool my raider friend. The kipping pull up is often used in metabolic conditioning exercises in which the point is to fatigue the muscle so much to where the kipping motion is needed. Such exercises could be completing 100 pull ups, 100 push ups, 100 sit ups and 100 squats, in that order for time. Not trying to be smart just trying to enlighten.

    I thought dead hangs were the correct way to do pullups? These kipping pullups look silly and out if control. I guess it makes people feel good if they can do alot of pull ups by cheating?

23. vibamoi on July 1st, 2010 7:10 am

    i can do 6 dead hangs, imma 13 yrs old.. : s well idc i h8 pull ups.

24. MarijuanaMuscle on July 1st, 2010 7:28 am

    Such a cool pull up bar

25. knewok on July 1st, 2010 7:35 am

    @ghostofparty123 looks like its pretty tough on the shoulders… specially with the butterfly kipping

Got something to say?
