The butterfly pull-up caused quite a stir on social media two weeks ago when @thebraveproject posted a video of Amy Alessi @storm_city_91 performing a max set of chest to bar pull ups in a CrossFit competition. So much hate and outrage was spat at Amy for using poor form, relying on momentum and not being strong enough to do a single pullup. We know this isnt true. A CrossFit athletes training looks entirely different to what they are usually required to perform in a competition. Building strength with correct form and performing movements slow and strict is what allows them later to use a kip in competition, to go as fast as they can safely and hopefully win the race. Here is Amy beautifully performing somw L sit holds, strict dips, muscle ups, pull ups, handstand push ups and toes to bar. @cfcreature #forquality #daleckistrength
