Was just watching some videos on the crossfit site and came across the “Sumo Deadlift - High Pull”
Video link(.wmv):media.crossfit.com/cf-video/CrossFit_SDHP.wmv
Essentially an explosive sumo d/l into an upright row.
I’ve come across discussions, articles, etc. about pros/cons upright rows. It’s easy to say “Well, it’s Crossfit approved, so it must be OK.” – I don’t know that and wanted to get some perspective from some of the folks who do/did this lift regularly, program designers, and/or therapists
Thoughts?
That’s pretty gay. Similar to a clean but homosexual, a homosexual clean if you will.
If I was fat and couldn’t do real lifts then this would be good but I think the clean is far superior to this lift.

OK! So, that’s one for gay. LMAO! I actually spit my drink.
So long as it’s homosexual clean and not a homosexual cleansing…
homosexuals do tend to be clean…

I used to do them after clean & presses.
I feel they hit my upper back and traps pretty well.
But I guess that’s homo. So whatever.
Looks like a good exercize to me. Did crossfit invent that one ?
I don’t know if Crossfit invented it.
Homo or not, it seems like it would mesh well with Waterbury/Cosgrove types of programs, like Real Fast Fat Loss (RFFL), etc.
Was just wondering about the potential for injury from the upright-row portion of the movement.
I also heard about this from crossfit…planning to add in EDT rotine which I am hoping to start next week…
