Don't think I would even want to swing my back like that.  Looks painful in all the wrong places.

One a day.

For 100 days. Didn't think of that.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I, as well of the guys I complete it with, do strict pull ups. 5 sets of 10 then 10 sets of 5

Have you tried to kip? While it might not isolate your back as much, they will crush your lungs.

A kipping pull up is just like any other cheat rep (popping your butt up during the bench, a swing during a curl, etc.). When used correctly, any of the aforementioned "cheats" will allow a lifter to move more volume and increase strength.

Yes I have done and do kips depending on the workout. For murph, I use it as a benchmark so I like to do regular pull ups. I kick my knees to my chest slightly on my last few reps because my back and arms are toast.

 :tup:

Pretty much exactly how I do them.

Toughest part of murph for me is the push ups. I've got go-go-gadget arms which makes it a long way to move. My best is 48 minutes and that was with sub 7 minute miles on both ends  :bash:

Push-ups I can bang through pretty quick actually and that is usually where I make up time because my miles aren't that quick, especially the second after those devil air squats. Feels like I have ankle weights on  :yike:

Actually, "cheating" is call bad form, and bad form produces less results AND is a major cause of injury!  Kips=torn ac joints in your shoulder, swing in a curl=lower back and shoulder sprain, arching your back during bench=ac joint tears and back issues.  Adjust your weight and lower your reps so you can perform the lift properly and safely guys.

Don't think I could disagree with that more but to each their own  :brew:

Your body man, do your thing.  Do yourself a favor though and Google over use injuries and weight lifting.  Then do a search and try and find a pro athlete or college athletics program of any kind who uses cross fit or promotes poor form.  There is a reason you won't find any.

I'm not advocating for people to step into the gym and form a C with their back doing curls. I'm talking about seasoned athletes that have plateaued and are needing to breakthrough to the next level. This is where the "when used correctly" in my original post comes in...

99% of S&C programs don't advocate Crossfit programming because CF is not specific enough to that particular field...and I agree with them. I think Crossfit can be fantastic for GPP but if you're training for a specific sport, it's not going to be enough. If you are up for some reading google "Eric Cressey Crossfit for baseball" and "Lee Hayward cheat reps"

I think the best course of action here is to agree to disagree.  Good luck this season my friend, stay healthy and shoot straight! :hello:
