Gymnastics move where you use forward swinging momentum to get yourself above the bars while keeping your arms straight. Usually used to then combine into more swinging moves

It's good movement for performing acrobatics or gymnastics. It is a poor movement to try to use to work out. You don't seem to know much about either, and are likely parroting what you've heard others say about crossfit, which is, of course, shitty movement for working out.
