Steal This Video: Chest To Bar Butterfly Pull-up...
"Chest To Bar Pull-up Demo"
“Everything is simpler than you think and at the same time more complex than you imagine.”
This weeks edition of "Steal This Video" comes one week early for WOD 11.6. And what better to end the open with than Pull-ups and Thrusters.
One simple Google search will turn up many different videos about this simple subject, and of course many Douche-Bag You Tube comments about how you're just swinging on a bar. The nice thing, and the reason we wanted to produce this particular Vid, is simply watching someone else do them, or explain that one simple cue you may be missing which could be your golden ticket into the forbidden zone.
In fact, we roll through only a couple key points leaving the rest, the most important part, to you - Practice. The simplest, easiest way to achieve the Butterfly Chest To Bar Pull-up is research all the videos from the CF Journal to legend Chris Spealler and the like. Then go play, and maybe film yourself so most importantly you can see if it looks like you're just humping a bar, or moving efficiently.

hey, john. those hands are sure scary. the stuff I was sayin I'd recommend is triple antibiotic salve (not cream). put it on for the day and bandage them as you have to in order to function. then let them air out at night so they'll dry up and heal. while it doesnt seem it this eve, they'll get tougher with more abuse and tears will become a thing of the past (or at least damn close). great work tonight.

Kara and Min- 37 rds.
I agree about the cap... it was 16 min when we hit the half way mark, and I thought "oh sh$t". Thankfully foster was a stellar partner as always

I was the handicap...we used the 95lbs of Snatches, 24inch box.
Thanks Ryan for being a great partner and being fast!:)

Wow... I'd be anxious to see how long this one would take if there wasn't a cap! Anyone brave enough to partner with me in the fall and re-do this WOD - without a cap? Lol :)

Thanks Kara. I finally stopped ripping them doing pullups but since Ive never really done t2b before I didn't really know what to expect so I just went for it!
