Sincere question for Crossfiters- I love Olympic lifts and am thinking of joining a CrossFit gym as it is the only option close by that allows them.

However, I downright refuse to do kipping pull-ups. Is this going to cause an issue in the gym?

😂 No. No problem at all.

Any good CrossFit gym / Box will encourage you to scale and modify the workouts. My box never prescribes kipping pull-ups but they might have strict pull-ups and if you can't do them, they'll have you do banded pull-ups, ring rows, etc.

I recently joined a crossfit gym as well and have been so pleasantly surprised by how different it is from the public perception of crossfit (and what scared me away from it for so long!)

I'm a novice and all of my coaches have been extra kind in making sure I focus on form, not go crazy with an unreasonable weight. They also only include strict pull ups in their workouts, no mention of kipping whatsoever!

I've learned that each box is different so go talk to yours and you can decide if you like what you see :)

And here is a slow clap 👏 for bain being able to take a joke

Won’t be an issue! You can always modify.
