Skills/Strength
We have a rule at our Box, that to do ‘kipping’ or ‘butterfly’ pull-ups in a WOD, you must be able to demonstrate 3 x dead hang pull ups to a coach beforehand. We take the safety of our athletes VERY seriously, and one of the easiest ways to injure yourself in CrossFit, is by doing kipping pull-ups before your shoulders have built up the correct stabilising muscles for them to handle it.
With that in mind, we’ll go over the technique for kipping and butterfly pull-ups, as eventually, we’d like to think all our athletes will be ready to progress to this stage.
Then each athlete to perform:
3 x max sets of DEAD HANG STRICT Pull ups (you must remain hanging on the bar for this to be a max set and bands may be used). REST at least 1minute between sets.
