I think it's actually meant to be 10 sets of 2, that's what the WOD demo has...
Pukie typo'd
Great video Valley Gurlz! Moving weight even with the wonky foot forward.
Excellent video, thanks for posting that.
Hey Phoggy, they actually posted 11 sets, and his comment was very valid either way. Clown comments are so anal. Just sayin.
I love you CrossFit for posting this picture in response to the NY times. They must really not like CrossFit or athletic women (2005 article).
Like how they crushed that article with all the videos of women doing pull ups.
It looks like CrossfitHQ just "released the Kraken!" in regards to the pull up article.
That is possibly the crappiest article I have ever read. There was no real data, no real explanation. The article might have said."just because". Limbs longer blah blah blah, women body fat blah blah blah. And 17 test subjects that were of "normal weight"? what the hell does that mean.
Split jerk? gross....screw it...deep lunge right?
Love the from the vault videos! Annie rocks, and NADS is CA-rushing it as always.
So am I suppose to increase the weight each time also?
The USA Today may have inadvertently just made October 25th National Female Pull-Up Day...
Obviously the modern myth of women being unable to do pull ups as depicted in the NY Times article did not reckon on the reality of the raw strength and power of Cross Fit women! But then again the New York Times tends to be chocker full of pure BS anyways.
I love you folks. Just sayin.
Read the article! The author never states or even implies that all women are incapable of doing pull ups.
My response to the NY Times article:
It's amazing that this article was even considered news worthy! My wife and I started doing Crossfit 2 years ago. For the twenty years or so before that we did the normal Bodybuilding workout. My wife even competed in 3 bodybuilding shows. She could barely do 1 pullup. Now she can do Kipping and Butterfly pullups (100 within 5 minutes), Strict/Deadhang pullups and yes......weighted strict pullups up to 50#. And to the uneducated person......Kipping and Butterfly pullups are a technique/style of pullups that help to maintain intensity during a workout. When not specified you have the option to do any style/technique to get your chin over the bar as long as you open your hips completely with arms fully extended at the bottom. To all those who question the Crossfit Standards I challenge you to any workout you have in your gym as long as you come to a Crossfit gym as do a WOD. You will be welcome at any Crossfit gym with open arms.
I agree with #14- the paper never directly states nor implies that 'women cannot do pullups'. Rather, it almost seems like they were trying to provide a number of excuses (body fat, strength, long arms, etc) for someone, male or female, who cannot do a pullup. I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of the paper actually was... but for an admittedly weak male of 6'8" (long levers), I say nut up or shut up. Just get the work done, by baby steps or leaps and bounds, just get it done.
Well done, HQ! p.s. That strict muscle-up in the video was awesome.
how long of a rest between sets?
how much rest between sets?
Hahaha this is awesome they are destroying that article... and Im with 16 that strict muscle up was dope
The title of the article is misleading, if you read the article it says they placed women who couldn't do a single pull up on a strength and conditioning program for 3 months. Then when they tested them, only 4 could do a pull up. They then came to the conclusion that performing a pull up requires a combination of strength, low bodyfat levels, and shorter stature. Look at the pic posted here.....women with low levels of bodyfat and seemingly shorter stature. Take a breath and relax everyone.
I love the "Eff You" shot at the NY Times blog. This reminds me of classic Coach, and I love it.
I have a general question to get everyones opinion.
Do you take any sort of preworkout supplement? Do you feel it helps and are there any sort of negative side effects?
Nadia is uber STUD. I earned my L1 at a course she assisted in. Superb communication skills and exudes confidence in her craft. She's amazing to watch.
I don't think the article was that bad. It was stating a lot of women have problems with pull-ups and statistically men struggle less with them. The title was what it was for a reason... to grab attention. Bingo! Sure a lot of more advanced crossfitters have no issue with pull-ups. This was talking about women in general. Don't act so elite. There are tons of women on this website whom still can't hammer out a strict pull-up. A part of our community is progression.
Media Hq badass women = normal. The rest of the world = dysnormal
The real question is how many more pull ups can those women perform than Tony!
So hot!
KStar
Never done split jerks before,this should be fun
Regarding the Nadia Shatila video - I didn't count a single pull-up. Saw a lot of swinging and using momentum to distort her weight in order to give her temporary zero- or near zero-gravity properties which she used to her advantage. But, no, no pullups or chin-ups.
How is that different from a person doing 100 pushups on their knees and claiming they can do 100 pushups?
@ #28 Stephen, That is a sequence of butterfly chinups she was doing... Chin was above bar as far as I can tell.
It is different because she is doing all 100 in under three minutes.
If you can do 100 Butterfly pullups in under three minutes. Then it is ok to criticise her.
If you can't... well then your on your way to realising why she is an elite athlete.
Strict pullups are for strength, kipping and butterflies are for lots of reps in a short time. Coupled with a powerfull hip action.

Been said a hundred times but i will say it again, those older crossfit shirts like that one chick is wearing are so much cooler. If those were available to purchase I would in a minute, even at the reebok prices, the hoodies too. But the stuff now, not a chance.
Practice makes perfect! Keep practicing pull-ups till you can do 1. Attainability is everything!
@ Stephen #28 Maybe you should post a video where you do 100 strict Pull-ups. Standard of a CF Pull-up = Arms extended at the bottom, Chin above the bar.
Standard of a deadlift = get the bar up till legs and hips are fully extended. What happens in between.. Who cares?

@kris k rest as much as you find needed. Mix it up short/long etc.. This way your body always needs to adept
Chicks who do pull-ups (strict or kipping) and those who work towards unassisted pull-ups are my freaking heroes. It's all about progression. As a coach I get few rewards greater than taking a novice from doing ring rows to band assisted pull-ups to unassisted pull-ups. Increasing someone's work capacity, ROM and confidence at accomplishing the seemingly impossible is what drives (motivates) me to wake up at un-godly hours on my day off/before/after regular job and get to the box.
The nay sayers can just go away or come to the box and let us show you how to get stronger, faster, and healthier.
I love those videos! I was cheering in my car watching on the phone. All that was missing was a few shots of our CF Masters ladies at the Games!
I can't believe that article was published, all it showed is that one pullup program was ineffective, one way or the other. The content of the article wasn't even about what the title of the article said it would be about. Tara should be embarrassed.
My best client - my wife Janet! - can do over 20 pullups, multiple dead hangs, and a single w 30#. She never strength trained before age 33. And while the program in the study Tara profiled was ONLY working on pullup strength, Janet is also gaining in deadlifts, squats, presses, olympic lifts, rope climbs, metabolic capacity, movement skill, and functional application of her new strengths to her life. CrossFit!
Women. The most beautiful thing God ever made.
#28, You may not like kipping pull-ups because they don't fit your definition of what a pull-up should be, but they aren't a physics-defying magic trick. The momentum generated by the body that helps propel an athlete to the top of the pull-up is still generated by the body. You inaccurately compare this to doing push-ups on the knees, but in that example the weight being moved, and therefore the work accomplished, is reduced. In a Kipping pull-up the vertical displacement (how you measure work in physics) and weight of the athlete doesn't change, but the amount of work he or she can accomplish goes up compared to a strict pull-up. As coach Glassman has pointed out before, this is completely analogous to the Jerk in weightlifting, where the hips generate force into the bar that translates into upward momentum and a greater capacity to put weight overhead. Do you think of Olympic lifers as using momentum to "distort" the weight on the bar?

Went down and did some higher reps after WOD and finished with 45barbell OH lunges.
I didn't find anything wrong with the Times article. The title is intentionally sensational to draw attention, the news does that all the time. The article does not state that women can't do pull-ups just that it takes hard work for them to become able to do them. The program also might not have been the most effective.
I find the response here a little too reactionary and immature. I was moved greatly by the "Back on the Board" video a couple of days back but stuff like this is a little foolish.
If you really want to respond someone should challenge the article correctly. Take 17 women that can't do a pull-up and get them to do crossfit for three times a week for three months then post the results. Whether their program wasn't the most effective or not they did do three months of research to publish 500 words.
I look at the mainsite this morning, and I just say to myself, Thank GOD for CrossFit!!! I am just so thankful to be part of such a fantastic, supportive community! You guys are absolutely marvelous! :D (Also, I am so putting that poster up on my wall.)
Now, off to do the WOD.
P.S. Thanks, Joel (#48)! It's great to be reminded that God gave me a beautiful form. It makes me want to take extra-good care of it, by eating primal and doing CROSSFIT!

"wrong" stance worked actually better then regular stance.
#38, I think anyone at any level should post their results. That's what makes CrossFit fun. Good luck!
It's not all bad news. A google search for women pullups yeilds several workout videos for $19.95 that will teach women how to do pullups. I'll stick to the main page and free advice from CFHQ thanks. Or you can check out the counter article at Smithsonian: http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/smartnews/2012/10/women-cant-do-pull-ups-not-so-fast/ Did we get distracted from the WOD today or what? Makes me want to work on my pullups today instead.
I think its interesting and proof of the value of the pull up in fitness; the women who were trained with isolating and even functional exercises to improve their pull up STILL couldn't perform them. Goes to show that if you want to learn to do pull ups, DO PULL UPS!
I think this article actually strengthens the argument in FAVOR of the CrossFit approach. Why is everyone so defensive??
Also, that Smithsonian article is bananas
I read the article and my take on it was that the researchers could have just as easily concluded that they were using the wrong approach at training pull ups. When I asked my coach, 3 months into Crossfit how to get better at pull ups (I'm 6'7") he said "do more pull ups". I did and it worked, I stuck around after class most days and did about 3 max rep sets of pull ups, at the start it was sets of 1 or 2. Now I can do unbroken sets of pull ups in most WODs.

If you are the type to make excuses you will always find one. Focused effort brings reward equally and without favor, to those who apply themselves.

Question for the folks here: If you've been doing split jerks for awhile and know the technique, how much more weight do you lift doing a split jerk vs. a push press?
Love it! I have been working on my pullups and am now up to around 10.
Keep up the good work all!

After watching her mother, older brothers, and me doing pull ups, our 9 year old daughter worked on her hanging times then chin ups until she got her first pull up. The accomplishment and satisfaction has translated into physical (and other) confidence. Now she is helping our 6 year old with her chins.
Parents teach your daughters to do pull ups. The benefits are more than physical.

Just wanted to let everyone know Dogtown Crossfit in Culver City CA. just went over the $100,000.00 dollar mark for their Crush Cancer fundraiser event Saturday Oct. 27. This is not a small amount of money for one affiliate to generate for a good cause. F' it I'll say it, ITS A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY. Good job to Adam, Dusty, and Liz for putting this whole thing together.

Zachary;
Good old strong coffee is my preworkout supp of choice. BCAA's work wonders too.
@Rhonda - It depends on how good your technique is, but personally I can lift abou 10% more with a split jerk vs power jerk
@Zachary Roth - Pre-workouts are tricky in my opinion. If you overuse them you can get burnt out due to the stimulants in them. They can definitely help as an occational booster, but I never use a full serving, usually 1/3-1/2 serving. If you are having trouble getting pumped up before a workout you may want to change your warm up. Here is an example of a dynamic warm up.. http://optexperience.com/newsletter/item/dynamic-range-of-motion-warmup-video
you can search his site for more detailed info.

Preworkout supplement? I take Advocare Spark (amino acid, caffeine, and vitamin mix) with a little Arginine (vasodilator) and Mass Impact (creatine). Also use an Amino acid capsule to help with muscle soreness. I take this about 15min prior to workout and then have a protein shake after. I know CF only endorses fish oil (which I take as well) but this mix works well for me and the only side effect I have noticed is muscle groth and faster recovery.

A kipping pullup is indeed very different than a dead hang. Most people should really focus on building strenght in dead hangs before trying to kip....your shoulders will thank you for it.

Sub'd push jerks as I need to work on those before I start getting crazy with the split jerk. 55-65-70-75-75-75-80-80f-75f-70.
I love that article, it was awesome, I mean really very educational. I really think that as with anything you want to do and can't, you keep DOING THAT THING. So if you want to do pull-ups, go do pull-ups: negatives, with a band, jumping, whatever works for you. Whoopty whooooop!!!
did this saturday
split jerk 10x2, alternate legs fwd each rep: 115-125-130-135-140 (wrist pain) - 100 - 105 - 110 - 110 - 125

Here is another example disproving the idea that women cannot develop upper body strength. I wonder how many pull ups she can do? With ONE ARM?

Actually forgot that it was supposed to be 10 sets, thought it was 7. Did some extras at the end b/c 245 seemed doable. For these, I did the first jerk with my non-dominant (right) leg forward, and the second rep with the dominant (left). As expected, there was a pretty noticeable difference - I had trouble getting low and aggressive with the right leg. Second try at 245 was closer. For the last set of 245, I switched and went left leg first - almost had it. Perhaps fatigue at the end. These were fun, I love me an oly day.

I didn't know we were supposed to increase or decrease weight. Just stuck at 185 lbs all 10 sets. Used it as warm up for the day.

Disapp w/last set. More mental, I'm sure. Tried to get good drop in split. Not very successful. Good bar positioning on shoulders - at clavicle.
M/ 38/ 134 lbs/ 5'-6"
As Rx: (I needed a super long warm up yesterday)
I stretched, did DUs, burgener warm up, etc.
I ahd a tweeked nerve in my neck and back.. so I was NOT feeling it.. and needed a long time to get loose and warm and kind of ready.
I took the Split Jerking slow and steady to see how the loading would feel on my body.

Tabata DUs - I was doing about 30 - 35 each round... I did one with 40 or 41, but then I also tripped up a couple times and only got about 30
I finished with some stretching and then some handstand kick ups and walk to the wall...
