They are the nicest people too. They make you feel like you've known them for years.

I saw his lifting stats and I saw '63' for pullups. It breaks my heart because I know those aren't real.
Because they are kipping or butterfly?

I don't know what a butterfly pull up is but don't be calling everything a "pull up." If it's a kipping pullup, say it's a kipping pullup.
That's like calling quarter squats a squat and saying it counts.
PS. Just looked up butterfly pullups and I almost gagged.

It's a different kind of pull-up. I agree they should differentiate between what kind of pull-up they're talking about but pretty much everyone that does Crossfit knows they mean kipping or butterfly. It's kind of like trying to pass off a sumo deadlift for a regular deadlift. The reason people do butterfly or kipping pull-ups is it's easier to do a higher volume done faster.

I'm no powerlifter but from my experience you can lift more doing sumo. Same with kipping.

Are you talking about pullups or deadlift?

quote:True, but with the deadlifts, you are still simply lifting the weight from the ground to a finish point. Kipping involves a weight/momentum advantage.

I understand that. I'm just saying that doing a 350 sumo is not the same as a regular deadlift just like a kipping pull-up is not the same as a strict. In both cases, sumo DL and kipping PU, you're going to do more than the standard version.

Where I workout and the programming I follow they specifically say sumo DL if that is what you're suppose to be doing. There are some people where I go that exclusively do Sumo DL because regular DL hurts their backs.

If I were you I would just do sumo or drop weigth, whichever one you want. You pay to go there and it's your body that is feeling the effects. They'll get over it.

Entirely depends on your body structure and mechanics. I lift way more conventional. Like.. 100lbs more.
Sumo is a variation, and some people perform better with sumo, but not all. Kipping is a way to lessen the load on muscles required for the movement so you can either a) perform a higher volume or b) work your way into strict pullups.

Not true. I don't believe there is one 1000lb sumo puller.
eta. nvm Chris Duffin did it. Either way, there are more conventional than sumo.

I can pull way more in sumo without a belt than conventional without a belt. I'm naturally better at sumo. I think I can deadlift more with conventional but my technique has to be on point or I get back pain.

I have extremely short arms. Conventional just has me in such a low position that it's really tough for me to maintain a good position as I begin the lift.
Posted on 2/28/18 at 4:52 pm to Hu_Flung_Pu
biomechanically you should be stronger conventionally.
I like conventional as weight gets heavier. I can use the weight to pull myself down into a better position and set my back.
I can’t fathom a 1000 pound lift. Did 433 for 3 today and couldn’t have done 440

what we got coming out the hopper tonight boys?!
I predict 7 minutes max burpees, or some God awful dumbbell movement like those dumbbell cleans last year with dumbbell lunges.
I dont think it will be a variation of muscle ups or anything else that excludes a lot of folks from Rxing.

I keep seeing a lot of people predicting that.
I also keep seeing a lot of chatter about a repeat of 14.1
AMRAP in 10 minutes
30 Double-Unders
15 Power Snatches (75/55 lb)
Posted on 3/1/18 at 12:23 pm to TigerDeacon
would love to do 14.1 again. That was my first open wod. Could only do single dubs occasionally. It was a long 10 minutes to get 46 reps!
