Members boytbpc Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 It doesn't appear to be working any different muscles, still lats, shoulders and biceps. It just seems to involve controlled swinging to get er up. We can talk until the cows come home, but you'd be better off just giving it a try. Controlling your body movement requires a lot of core strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Lou-Dog Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 ...MUST...RESIST... Hahaha, bit of a +1. I am sick of my friends who work out referring to my friends who don't work out as 'bitches'....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zygoat Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 Jesus am I going to grow hooves??? Nah, it will just keep those palms smoothed out and even. To address the kipping pullup thing, definitely not a cheating method. You're still going through the full range of motion (elbows locked out at the bottom to chin over the bar) but in a shorter amount of time. It's doing more work faster, which equals more power. If someone is hanging for dear life on the side of a cliff, they aren't going to sit there and do a strict pullup, you would do whatever you have to do to get your body up. We do strict pullups in crossfit as well, in the form of weighted pullups or L pullups. It's good to be proficient at both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members big_cat Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 Nice.I've puked from Crossfit before.I just started a Keto diet. nice bro. i lost 50 lbs on keto. it's great IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LSDis4me Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 Keto diets aren't healthy. They work by keeping carbs out of the diet, so that they body has to rely on fat cells for all its energy production. The body, including the brain, prefers carbs for fuel. Without that, thinking gets fuzzy, and people tend to get more irritable than when on a low fat, moderate carb, moderate protein diet. Initially, people see the most gains on a keto diet, and they get excited. That initial drop in weight though, in the first couple weeks, isn't about fat loss. Instead, what is happening is that carbs hold water, and without carbs in the system, there is a great reduction in water weight. Once carbs are reintroduced in the system, weight goes up, as water weight goes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jhamnett Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 From another thread, but this is my foot as of yesterday. Surgery a week ago, healing nicely. Looks worse than it is. But the swelling will take 6 months or so. Need something with low impact. Is p90x low impact? Don't do P90X. BTW, the guy in the video doing 50 pullups seems to have terrible form. Barely gets the chin over the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I weigh something like 53 kg and can do 15 pull-ups at a time. Then again, my low weight compensates for the lack of muscle, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thom Posted July 24, 2012 Members Share Posted July 24, 2012 Not knocking the idea if going to a gym to stay in shape or anything...But do you guys work from behind a desk all day every day, or do you want to get super buffed, or do you eat really unhealty, or is it something else...? I may be blessed with a good metabolism, I don't know, and I'm not saying I'm athletic...But my job basicly burns the calories I take in, and I'm a pretty big beer/food user:) I would think that'd be the case for most other peope too, right? I guess the fact that I'm in my early 30s might make a difference too though, I suppose ten years from now I'll have a harder time burning fat than now...

Members boytbpc Posted July 24, 2012 Members Share Posted July 24, 2012 even watching kipping makes my shoulders hurt. I'm still mastering the kip pullup, but it isn't the shoulders that generate the momentum or take the abuse. If you push away at the top, it is actually very smooth.
