also when doing pull ups whats proper technique. is it suppose to be a deadlift or can you use your body to thrust up a bit?
Full back movement. Cross Fit teaches people to kip, but really, you're not really doing anything but levering yourself up with biceps/legs.

If you have trouble doing them, do as many as you can, then, with straight arms, raise your chest up as high as you can. That's your back working the movement, do a bunch of those and you'll feel a crazy back pump.
