CrossFit Journal on Kipping Pull Ups
Notice how she opens the shoulders at the front and pushes away from the bar on the back. From here, violently pull yourself to the bar, using a kip. Chin must go above the bar with head in neutral position, no craning of the neck. Do not count rep if you do!
WOD
“ANGIE”
100 pull ups
100 push ups
100 sit ups
100 squats
Exercises are done in order. You have to finish all reps of one exercise before going on to the next.
30 min cut off
With the cutoff set, if you need to scale, the goal is to try to finish at or before the time limit. If you scale back reps and finish in 5 minutes, guess what? You scaled back WAAYYY to much. If you go RX’d and only get through one exercise by the time limit, guess what? You should have scaled.
The coaches will help you determine your scale if needed. Once it is set, do everything you can to not deviate from it.
Scaling is meant to improve your performance, not make the WOD easy. Be smart, check your ego at the door, but go all out!
