Holy. Shit. If this is what they're doing, suddenly everything makes sense.

I don't do what is considered a kipping pull up but I do reach full dead hang position on each rep. I'll get someone to take a video next time.

Yep, that's how they do 'em and thats why you see the high numbers. That's why I wish they'd list "50 kipping pullups" in their times. 50 dead hang pullups is beastly, 50 like that, still hard but doable.

Very true, cuz it's not the same. I don't understand why they'd want to develop a technique which is designed to help gymnasts jump onto the bars?

LOL! I'd love to see a vid of anyone doing 110 kipping pullups with a 45 on.
I can only do 4, but I'm like a quarter Raiff's size and had 70 plus gripping ropes.
