Default Re: Crossfit FAQ

J. Brown,

What is the exact purpose of kipping pullups? I've always understood that kipping is a good thing in the sense that it can enable you to increase rep ranges by taking the load off of your back and arms and use momentum generated by your whole body instead. Much like chopping the ROM would do for the activity.

I find it somewhat ironic that they use a movement with huge body english for a large part of their training, but eschew a commonly accepted variant for their total calculation.
