What is the technique when rowing for calories versus meters?

What is a "Full Grip"? Do the Crossfit movement standards require you to use a supinated grip for strict pull-ups?
Full grip is thumb wrapped around the bar

I first started Crossfit when my brother got back from deployment and told me about this workout site him and his buddies would do when they were sent all over the place, this must have been 2009 or '10 (i tried to look up but the leaderboard doesn't even go back that far anymore). anyway we did soley mainsite wods at globo gyms and later video submitted our open scores we were hooked. Many years later I've done lots of fitness since then but last week i was feeling nostalgic and wanted the oldschool feel of the .com so i logged in to see if y'all were still there and sure enough there you all were. this was my first solid week doin mainsite wods the feeling i get doin wods with basically anonymous people from around the world knowing we are in this together is a beautiful thing, thank you community. And thank you to Crossfit for keeping the mainsite wods up! these workouts continue to be simple beautiful brutal and elegant. to paraphrase 'one of the three ways to find meaning in life, is to have the right attitude in suffering' - Viktor Frankle, Mans search for meaning.

welcome back, i've been here since 2008 as well!
Great to have you back! I've been following mainsite since 2007, but didn't start posting until 2020. I couldn't agree more that the community is awesome. Very well done today by the way!
awesome score, nice comment!
4 rondas y 4 pullups
Primera vez. Me gustó no haber partido ni los pullups ni las flexiones y haberlas hecho estrictas. Traspiré y me marée bastante. Mucho mucho calor.
Bravo para todos los que metieron 5 rondas. 6 rondas también vi. Impresionante !

4+587 - Rx (4 rounds + the row and 2 full rounds of strict Cindy and then 12 squats into the last round. 3 squats... dang. Last time I got through 5 and 124m on the row at 150lb BW. Pull-ups feel the same as last time, really hard after rowing specifically. But overall not far off from before.)

Rx
5 rounds plus 18m as rx’d. Not very many pullup sets unbroken. Push-ups in 2 sets until the last Cindy round where I needed 3.
Rowed slower this time from the start.
Mixed up the grip on pull-ups. Most were on rings which I put a barbell through and set up on high J-hooks. Lungs burn again after this!

Subbed 400m run for row. Otherwise, as rx’d, 5 rounds + run + 17 reps.
Started off at a pace that would have yielded 6 rounds, but figured this would be unsustainable. Unbroken for the first few rounds; had to start breaking a few of the push-ups sets in later rounds. Runs felt good until rounds 5 and 6, where I was riding the redline pretty good.

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
Nothing to rant about
WORKOUT THEMES
Gymnastics and monostructural. Breaking a benchmark test down into separate strength and conditioning parts. Pulling, pushing, squatting, and fundamentals are also themes.
SHORT MEDIUM LONG
LIGHT x
MEDIUM
HEAVY
ENDURANCE SCALE
Sprint the rowing portion, live with whatever happens on the Cindy, or even drop the reps down so you can get more rowing efforts in
STRENGTH SCALE
As is, except do 5 rounds of Strict Cindy with less reps of each (but better quality). Use the row as a recovery for the Cindy portion
STAMINA SCALE
5 rounds of:
1:00 strict pull-up practice
1:00 strict push-up practice
1:00 low squat practice
then row 5k for time
MY STUFF
Ended up cutting it at 20 minutes after I realized I wasn't giving it a good effort, physically or mentally.
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7
Kipping Pullups
64
38 pullups
43 reps.. used mixed grip for most of the sets
I just actually re-read that article last night, and when I read this excerpt I immediately thought of the Chris Spealler 100 pull-up video.
Try creating ground tension backwards while lowering into your squat. MeatHeadMonk on ig if you need help understand what that means.
