Chin Up

IMG_6927 Brett making it count.

The default pull-up at CrossFit is a the kipping pull-up.  We like the kipping pull-up for several reasons, coordination and power are two.  That does not mean however we don't value the classic strict pull-up or the gym favored chin-up.  Two things we consider when doing strict pull-ups and chins are the abs and shoulders.  Getting a rigid body position doesn't always seem relevant during a pull-up, but making our body tight allows for better use of the shoulder.
