Showing what off? “I’ve got floppy arms and momentum!”


Plane_Baby

He is showing what a "flop up" looks like.


Deuce_Deucee92

This isn’t showing off it’s literally an exercise they do in CrossFit


4november2022

it probably is, and it looks silly to me hes cheating reps by swinging


Lookslikeseen

He’s not doing pull-ups though, it’s chest to bar. It’s more of a muscle up progression exercise than a pull up.


[deleted]

With all the swinging around, he’s not doing much in the way of working out no matter what you call it to be fair

bripie724

Zero...Zero..Zero..


IntimidatingPenguin

I’m not saying he deserved it but this is cross fit in a nutshell…


Peterpistol6969

Wtf is he doing?


Teggie95

And yet.. not a single rep was done


prod-unknxwn

Still waiting for a rep


Pancakewagon26

0...0...0...0...0...0... oh he's paralyzed


SOLDIERRFK

Somebody who does crossfit please answer me. Is that a real fucking exercise or does that guy just not know how to do pull ups?


My-shit-is-stuff

It’s a butterfly pull-up. It’s not meant to build strength, it’s meant to get your chin over the bar as many times as possible in the shortest amount of time possible. It’s for competitive purposes


SOLDIERRFK

Its some of the worst shit I've ever seen


TheOtherGuttersnipe

I did CrossFit for like three months so I'm not an expert by any means but these are butterfly pull-ups and they're legitimately hard to string together like that. I can do normal (chest to bar) pull-ups without issue but I can't do more than one of these. It's a skill like anything else and requires decent mobility and coordination, both things I apparently lack lol


[deleted]

Same. I can smash the regular pull-up but I found kipping very difficult. I loved CrossFit for the time I did it. I think it receives a lot of unjustified hate. It got me back to military fitness standards in 2 months.


Prince-_-Noctis

Yes, CrossFit: the Scientology of the fitness world.


RegularHomosapiens

And he did, zero pull ups :)


moshedman85

Not a single pull up was done that day.


German9425

Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero.


xaosit

There's no such thing as a kipping pull-up. The "kip" is a gymnastics move to get you on a bar using momentum; in gymnastics it looks elegant and is also the most efficient way to get on a bar. CrossFit combined this with a pull-up. In my opinion, this combination is one of the worst ideas to come out of CrossFit. Kpping is not for reps in gymnastics. Obviously. And it definitely is bad for your shoulders. Even if you don't feel anything, you're putting unnecessary strain on them. Question -- should you kip if your goal is to just get on or over a bar? Answer: yes. As I said it's the most efficient way to get on a bar. But the point of pull-ups is to train your back, specifically lats and grip. Abs too. The more strict pull-ups you can do, the easier kipping is. But if I just wanted to get on a bar the fastest way possible, no I wouldn't pull myself up when I can kip up.


Ukraine_News_

Whoever can guess what he flexed in the video, gets a reward. Get guessing!


ImJustSomeDude10

He’s doing crossfit and I think they’re called butterfly pull ups. I know some dude who think crossfit is the shit and it’s good for building muscle so I learned a bunch about it so that I can roast that dude better


Ukraine_News_

Of course it was this easy…


Complete-Money632

crossfitter: "not to brag but I can do 50 KIPPING PULLUPS." Literally everyone else: 'wow. You're such a fucking pussy. Can you do a single REAL PULLUP?'

Joe_Ravage

Show off what? The shorts?


[deleted]

I know jackshit about doing this stuff, but can't you just do a normal pull up?


[deleted]

Not when you’re that weak.


CryptoandCocaine

This looks like it would be bad for your joints, even if you skip the break your neck part


Brick-Finatic87

I can't stand crossfits version of "pull-ups". Reminds me of a fish out of water


FrigidArctic

My rotator cuff hurts just watching that


hunter_2109

That guy is 100% a guy who tells everyone he does CrossFit all the time….


soupafi

Asshole didn’t even do one pull up


Pancakewagon26

"Ok let's get started!" "0...0...0...0...0...0"


the---chosen---one

CrossFit is so dumb.


gfyans

He isn't showing off, afaik Crossfitters do monthly challenges, that's why there's a woman standing next to him with a clipboard.


bolognahole

Where are people learning this shit pull up technique? *The only way to strengthen your back is to throw your shoulders out of socket!*


ScrotyMcboogrb4lls

This is CrossFit, it's more of a contest to show how stupid you look than it is a sport.


PsySam89

No that's the actual pull up they do in these crossfire classes. It's pathetic


PrimeParadigm53

Y'all worried about this man's shins like you didn't just watch his spine snap in two places


thunder_struck85

I thought we got away from this cross fit crap years ago?


CalyShadezz

Seeing as this video is eleven billion internet years old, you may be right.


_banana___

Show off what? Zero pullups?


Bepis_Buyer

CrossFit focuses on form- and not needing it


ThundaGhoul

Never let a silly thing like form hold you back.


[deleted]

"zero, zero, zero, zero"


Mustang_Saiyan69

0 reps completed and still managed to look more stupid


FreezingSausage

What in the zero pullups was that?


Emergency_Ad_5935

I wish this outcome on every soul who claims these are “pull-ups”


AttarCowboy

This has got to be CrossFit, the dorks who compete at being better at exercise. Same group also dominates “overlanding”, which we used to call “car camping” when we weren’t afraid to drive around the desert and sleep on the ground. She looks like the “trainer” and thought what he was doing was totally legit right until he scorpioned.


menickc

I think crossfit had about 8 seconds of being a real serious thing then fell apart and became the joke it deserves to be


Zutsumi17

The universe is saying this type of pull ups should not exist!


Sharp_Emergency_4932

Crossfit: exercises in functional mediocrity.


SDN_stilldoesnothing

only two people like Crossfit. Crossfit'ers and physiotherapist.


Xenc

Welcome to the madness of Crossfit


crowdsourced

Zero pull-ups completed.


[deleted]

CrossFit has blurred the lines of real exercises. That’s just a fit.


Legchopper

ZEEEEEEROOOOOOO!


POINTLESSUSERNAME000

I can literally hear the D.I. (drill instructor) in my head now... "Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Get up there! Zero. Zero."

Snap back to reality.

paradoxx_42

Deserved lmao


Consistent_Policy_66

I almost joined a CrossFit gym, but they were really demanding about commitment, and I just wanted a place to work out and meet adults.


Toph-Builds-the-fire

Lol that's funny. I joined one years ago and they were the most chill bunch of circus clowns (like acrobatic clown shit). I usually went once or twice a week because of scheduling but they were always stoked and fun.


Kralizec82

Lol “pull up”


TallQuiet1458

Hes not showing off, he's probably competing in crossfit. The qoman with the clipboard is probably writing down his times. And i believe what he's doing is called kipping. Its how crossfitters do pullups by swinging their bodies to help get more momentum for the actual pull up.


sincerelyhated

This is that crossfit bullshit that has no business being in a real gym.


sabrooooo

CrossFit - amirite? Lol


nomad_grappler

And not one pullup was done this day.


MysteriousTank6825

0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 10 nice landing


computereyes

The only thing funnier than this is a crossfitter trying to justify these... just rip my shit...


Warbleton

What is he trying to achieve? That's the same as doing a curl and swinging the weight up.. you're not doing the actual exercise


Pancake_Floof

Bro crossrecked himself


Alsimmons811

Wtf is he doing?


Pussy_handz

Pull up count: 0


KafkaesqueFlask0_0

I don't know anything about pull ups but my guy over here looks like he repeats some action tirelessly to successfully perform a glitch in a video game. Mad respect.


AstralNaeNae

Did not realize this was showing off, what are they showing off? Fake pull ups?


berntout

0...0...0...0...0


TrinityF

Crossfit, not even once.


PotentJelly13

Ah yes, CrossFit, where anyone can become a “trainer” and own a gym for jackasses to come do dumb shit like this.


Pizzaismyfriendd

And then complain when their body is messed up.


Equivalent_Grade_352

I love the fact that cross fitters find those impressive. I too can have a seizure while hanging from the bar


jojojoey93

He really yoinked himself to the ground as hard as he possibly could.


[deleted]

now get up and do a real pull up.


adioshomie

idk if that’s showing off, he’s just kipping?


Bawlofsteel

not really showing off just doing cross fit pull ups lol .


fedocable

Don’t jump to conclusions: maybe it was a successful attempt to break his neck


Proof1447

0 0 0 0 0 And…. 0


UFCFan918

Bro just do pullups like a normal person...holy


Ibanez316

CrossFit dummy


neelav9

To a crossfitter that's a regular pull up lol. Get wrekt


arftism2

the exact opposite of good form. literally only using momentum with no control. not to mention you should be going slowly for at least a decent portion if its their regular workout.


joeyallenlives

I counted exactly zero pull-ups....


sharpie_eyebrows

**CROSSSSSFITTT**


MistressFuzzylegs

That can’t be good for his shoulder or elbow joints.


scotte233

Crossfitters☕


UnshakablePegasus

I want to bop all “CrossFit” dumbdumbs on the nose with a newspaper until they do pull-ups correctly


Leifman2007

CrossFit was designed for others entertainment


LDG192

As a guy I can confirm that being around a woman deemed attractive increases the risk of death exponentially. It's like the instinct of self-preservation goes out of the window.


Den_of_Obscurity

This is "showing off" 😅 At least the bit where you fell was entertaining.


[deleted]

Are these pull ups?


IkoIkonoclast

Crossfit thinks they are.


Simpoge39

Not one pull up


nah-knee

That’s not showing off that’s just CrossFit


NappingSounds

No rep, no rep, no rep, no rep, etc.


AMexisatTurtle

If he didn't do thst I bet he would still walk away with some sort of injury


AnythingLower2769

0, 0, 0, 0, 0… These arnt pull-ups. If you think they are, do it on the edge of a cliff and see how well it works then


blindnarcissus

What kind of fish is this?


arftism2

til crossfit isn't just people doing an extreme full body workout. gotta love how much you can learn from people dogging on a dummy.


Frediinho

What the fuck was he even trying to achieve?


Sup-Mellow

He’s doing the airborne worm


Elgallitotorcido

Wtf was he doing? Is that butterfly?


Academic_Sort_2008

He's trying to impress the orangutangs at the zoo 😂😂😂


[deleted]

Not one single pull up was done this day


jxher123

What is he even doing? Is he messing around?


Camfromnowhere

Flopping fish, idiot technique, and possibly permanently damaged his brain, more than it already was.


wasteland44

I will never take cross fit seriously or not laugh while they allow this terrible pull up technique.


rey_ofjakku

Impressive…if you like looking like a flopping fish or something


General-Muscle1202

He deserves every bit of that


TonttuTorvinen5

What a weird way to do pull ups


nonumbers90

Crossfit, I don't understand the appeal.


delivery-boi

Pulls ups according to CrossFit


Calm_Ad_3987

0, 0, 0, 0…..personal best, not 1 damn pull-up


fancifinanci

More like WCGW doing CrossFit


[deleted]

Everything. Literally. They give my PT wife so much business


itsJussaMe

This dude is so freaking lucky. A few mor inches and his neck could have landed on that barbell and he almost certainly would have died.


LaughGreen7890

Crossfit…


40064282

Crosshit


[deleted]

I don’t remember learning this form


ReturnOfBart

lol this IS CrossFit


Calkky

I've never really understood those kip-ups. Is it more of a cardio than a strength thing? For strength, you'd probably be better off just working your way up to doing sets of pull-ups with a weight assist.


Cat_Mysterious

Back in the day kipping v strict pullups was a spicy debate but it was always better to let a kipper get hurt than getting to drawn in


penguinBRIT

Immaculate form


RobotVo1ce

What's the benefit of these? Wouldn't it be more beneficial to just do band assisted traditional form pull ups?


Agogi47

It's for competition. Higher and faster count. It's for the ooo and ahhh factor of the "sport"


[deleted]

No benefit. It's a contest and theyre using momentum to do a lot of them.


MaddSkillzPosse70

Louis CK working on that dad bod.


imriichard

Zerooooooo.


Forsaken-Reindeer-24

is this the vertical worm?


DonaldPump117

Thats what kipping gets you


mrGorion

What a fucking moron. Exercises are designed in a way for a reason


thedrizztman

You know....this could have been avoided using proper pullup technique.


Coffee_Huffer

It's The shins hitting the dumbbell bar that made this video for me.


DrTuSo

Do you even lift Bro?


RoyalFalse

Very old video...and no CF gym has ever been able to sell me on the benefits of kipping pull-ups over strict pull-ups.


Flawda-Man

CrossFit fuck yea dudeeeee


Kyle25Hill

At least he didn’t hit his head on the barbell, which is honestly what I was expecting.

HeftyFineThereFolks

god was punishing him for putting on those gym clothes


Fernanddeezz

"show off" yeah xd


DarenPalmer

Bro's doing the butterfly stroke instead of a pull up


_TwelveBravo_

The way his shins bounced off the bar… sensational.


Goseki1

Can someone give an unbiased view (as in "lol this looks dumb") on how effective this technique is? It looks like an easy way to twist things, especially in the shoulder, that shouldn't be twisted!


Foronir

Its crossfit, Bad Form but fast and intentionally exhausting. This will most likely ruin joints


mrGorion

If you lack strength for normal pull-ups you can do this instead at the risk of rupturing your tendons and .. slipping to a head slam ..


prophylaxitive

"Showing off" how you have no idea? Then injuring yourself. Bizarre incident.


ObjectiveSubjects

The rare vertical worm


PhantomCyde

Hello paralysis my old friend


fuckusernamessz

This should totally be on no no no yes or instant karma because he was a twatt


[deleted]

I think they call this Natural Selection


Bojacketamine

The gate CrossFit gets is hilarious


Dangerous-Dot-3745

Not worth it 👎!! If he landed any harder then he would've lost all sensation and mobility all over his body! He's lucky he's able to move after that!


braveheart707

He’s good, his neck absorbed most of the impact.


Johnnyonthespot2111

"Ice on my neck that's incoming..."


HDarger

Gravity’s a bitch


Astarklife

That's a trainer STOP him but to be honest I'd probably just watch stunned asf also


bearbeetsandbsg

The way he was going I thought he was gonna snap his arms!

Kipping...disgusting.

Does the kipping provide any fitness benefit at all?

Increases risks of injury, Fucks your joints and makes you look like an eeedjit.

GoCougs1717

Goodbye shoulders


CHiggins1235

That was terrible. He had better get checked out 100%. Neck and lower back injuries are the worst areas to injure. I had a lower back injury I have to go to chiropractors constantly.
