I love how this is all uncut, shot in one take. The music is cool too.

[@iwillneverpostavideo]

A note on kipping pullups: A kipping pullup like what you see in crossfit is to a regular pullup what a push press is to an overhead press. It recruits more muscles to do the same movement instead of isolating a smaller amount. In this instance it changes the exercise to more of a cardio one than a strength one. Also, keep in mind that in order to have the shoulder girdle strength to do multiple kips without tearing anything, you have to be able to do a fair amount of strict pullups anyway. No, I don't do Crossfit. I just sought to understand the rationale behind the kip rather than just outright rejecting it.

[@stefanformgren4978]

great explaining, exactly, the haters need to learn the differens between the two (and the third "butterflyPullups").

[@JohnSmith-un1zj]

Great job! You right!!

[@Artical73]

You hit the nail on the head! Well said sir!!!!

[@getrekt7613]

Mumbo jumbo aside, it's just flinging yourself on the bar with no sense whatsoever.

[@JohnSmith-un1zj]

Get Rekt dumbass its supposed to be cardio. And believe me it does get REALLY!!! tiring after awhile.

[@golassoperfecto]

Froning never stops. He just keeps going no matter what. It's unreal.

[@chopin65]

Yes, VERY "unreal".

[@wn415]

I think the thing that has always helped Rich Froning be a champ is knowing his pace. He never starts out too fast or too slow. His pace is consistent throughout, and he seems to understand that not stopping or stopping minimally is what wins. Good lesson...

After 6 years i still really like all about this video. What cool music, cool workout, cool dudies

[@gracechun1717]

I love how it was crazy suspense music up until Rich finished and after it was actually praise music that they were listening to. It's just so amazing that they fuel off of praise to God to push harder when many rely on emotions being stirred from lyrics to form anger to push harder (myself). Amazing.

[@gabrielfigueira5963]

I'm smoked just after doing Fran. Afterwards doing two more WODs with increasing weight and advanced movements is totally beyond me right now, and utterly impressive.

Thanks Brother.

[@katz701]

Not many people are even capable of imagining this level of fitness.

[@navsquid32]

Pull ups are a bodyweight movement invented by gymnasts, used as a strength training progression. The kipping pull up is a variation of that movement, also invented by gymnasts, also used to build strength, but also to develop the neuromuscular coordination required to perform more difficult gymnastic tasks on the parallel bars and on the rings. Therefore, contrary to the dime-a-dozen hater's belief, the pull up wasn't invented in Gold's Gym by the oiled up guy who decided he was sick of the lat pull down machine. Therefore, if you say "those aren't pull ups," you're historically ignorant, and just plain wrong. Now, it's bicep day, so go swing your back to get that EZ bar up.

[@benja4411]

I agree as well, but the second paragraph wasn't really necessary. Keep it positive or it fucks up the message.

I was struggling doing those hybrid squats with 20 pound dumbells after like 4 sets of 12 lol. This is INSANE.

[@RiverWarriorFamily]

Just like Bruce Lee...whom no one really understood or has been replicated....Rich Froning cannot be understood (prediction - 2014 CrossFit Men's Champion)...his work capacity redefines what is possible and his diet ?.?.? - if you can set aside movement prejudice (e.g. pull-up) this workout (WOD) will be appreciated by any true disciple of Athletic Performance...God speed Rich...thank you for being an incredible example of your God given gifts!

[@Sallisawcrossfit]

Thank you! Glad someone here sees it like it is I stead of bashing over jealousy of him. Give him props instead of hoping to bring him down to your level with insults. News flash he doesn't need your approval. He won again, validation is sweet.

[@phoenixda4th]

I like seeing variations on basic workouts. This and the heavy Fran from a while back were really cool.

[@RandyLeftHandy]

Okay, his gym has a bucket of chalk, but if you look, there aren't any big chalk spills. My gym, which has no chalk, is seemingly covered in fucking chalk. Maybe we should just get a bucket of it.

[@puassonspot]

huh

[@RandyLeftHandy]

Вениамин Бархутов My gym doesn't have a bowl of chalk, but people who bring it get it everywhere. I was thinking that if we had just a bowl of it then it wouldn't cover the entire gym.

[@randell1992]

+RandyLeftHandy Rich will flip if you chalk out of the bucket xD

[@Claudio89DK]

Actually this is true. I remember seeing this in a video of him and Khalipa while working out in the same garage. Froning got upset with Khalipa when he chalked outside of the bucket haha. I guess Rich just likes his garage chalk-free

[@sumsar01]

It's because people put the chalk in the bucket if you have a bucket for it.

[@Kylenordio]

In most complex movements, you have variations. For the clean there is the hang clean, power clean, squat clean, hang squat clean, etc. For the snatch there is the hang snatch, power snatch, squat snatch, hang squat snatch. For the muscle up there is the strict muscle up, the kipping muscle up and gymnastics muscle up. Similarly, as with all complex movements, there are variations on the pull up. The name of the movement itself indicates there are multiple ways to achieve a "pull up." One of those, which the most efficient and clever primates would utilize naturally, is the butterfly, which enables you to do the same work with less energy expenditure. No, the butterfly isn't inherently injurious to the shoulder joint, you and those that are getting injured have immobile and tight shoulders, work on yourself then try the movement. Yes, the strict pull up does require more strength and is better for building lean muscle mass. Is that the sole objective of completing work for time? No.

[@creatingakingdom1737]

I love reading all the banter between everyone's opinion. So I thought I would share my own. I come from a bodybuilder background. Yes steroids and size. Last show was 2013. I switch to CrossFit for a change and a new challenge. All I can say is how much both styles of training compliment each other. From bodybuilding I had the strength and size, now with crossfit I have endurance. I've actually been able to increase many of my lifts because of CrossFit. CrossFit uses every possible rep/set scheme, many WOD's are just a different form of a SuperSet. My opinion on Steroids and CrossFit. Well I had to stop using them in order to take my endurance to the next level. The increase in heart size and blood pressure had a dramatic effect on my ability to keep a high heart rate over an extended period of time. 2nd thing I noticed was my "pumps" that I loved using steroids was a huge detriment in CrossFit, mainly in my grip. Hand and forearm pump that was so strong I couldn't grip bars anymore. As someone once told me. To get fit big and strong, everything works, but only for a very very short time. No one know the perfect mix, we are all experimenting.
