Be a man and do a real pull up….crossfit is too “let’s see how many times we can do this motion unsafely and call it a competition.” I gotta hand it to crossfit though into making it a social cult workout that just about everyone can do for all those people who can’t push and motivate themselves…. The workouts are scaled (weaker athletes modify the movements, or do them with less weight). “A butterfly pull-up performed with correct form, is safer than a strict pull up with broken form.” is like saying “Riding a bicycle is safer than driving a car with no windshield.”.
