CrossFit South Brooklyn -- Round 2!

CrossFit South Brooklyn -- revisited!

I was in New York City this past weekend and one of the gyms I wanted re-visit was CrossFit South Brooklyn.  The last time I was here was ~1.5 years ago and I remembered having a blast.  I was worried about not being able to make it since a lot of CF boxes aren't open on Sunday's, but it ended up working out perfectly as they had back-to-back classes all Sunday morning.  So I even got to sleep in a bit :)

Movement Clean Up: Butterfly Pull-Ups

Butterfly Pull Ups.

Because of my hip injury from sitting and not being able to squat, I decided to work on cleaning up a couple movements.  One of them was the butterfly pull-up.  I've had butterfly pull-ups for awhile.   I can reliably crank out reps and I can sustain a good number per set.  So why bother cleaning them up especially since there are so many other things to work on?
