@4:45 those pullups are ridiculous. make me laugh everytime i see them. i stopped the video there. but yeah that dude is shredded

It's a gymnastic movement. Same amount of work, just using your core to help you up. Equivalent movement to double under's or burpees.

Also you missed Deadlifts/handstand pushups and Clean and jerks.

depends on what youre targeting. if im targeting my lats specifically i would clearly use strict pull ups opposed to those swinging things. i could probably do over 50 of those swinging motion things and not feel a pump lol

ps i saw the deadliest handstand push ups and c&j before the 445 mark, didnt need more

You are completely missing the point of the workout dude. Obviously you would use strict pullups if you are targeting your lats.THEY AREN'T DOING A LAT WORKOUT... They aren't targeting any muscle. They are doing a full body/core murder, 4x in a row. ANd no you couldnt do 50 in a row, you could do maybe 10 in a row if you spent a couple days working on the movement.

Also there isn't any clean and jerks before the 445 mark...


Oh and as an avid crossfitter, i can easily vouch that strict pullups are a lot easier than buttterfly pullups ( Those swinging things), But the turnover on butterfly pullups is like 2:1 to strict. That's why people use them, cause it's quicker.

well there is cleans but no jerks before the 445 mark
and i understand youre an avid crossfitter but i still dont see the efficiency of the workout. we'll leave it at that cause i don't want an explanation considering im never going to incorporate them into a routine.

ps i will try once and get at least 30, will report back in a week with a number

That's a sick fucking vid

If you are doing strictly strength training/hypertrophy i wouldn't recommend even learning the name of the movement

Interested to see the results though!

speaks to me more than anything. it's something i struggle with. people can tell me this and that about me, but if i don't see it in myself it doesn't amount to anything. I have that negative voice inside my head, that second guessing that constantly eats at me and tells me everything contrary to what i should believe. not sure if anyone else can relate to that.
