Elina Pashalanova sets impressive mark with 100 unbroken bar muscle-ups

The name Elina Pashalanova was until recently unknown to most, but that appears to be changing fast. The athlete completed no fewer than 100 unbroken bar muscle-ups, never once releasing the bar.

A video of the feat circulated on social media over the past few days. The footage runs just over 10 minutes, the time Pashalanova needed to complete all the reps without pausing.

Bar muscle-ups are considered one of the most technically demanding movements in the CrossFit world. Unbroken sets of ten or twenty are already regarded as impressive, which makes a set of one hundred reps in a class of its own.

Whether Pashalanova competes as a competitive CrossFit athlete is not immediately clear, but her performance shows she possesses exceptional strength and technique. It seems quite possible that her name will appear more frequently in the international CrossFit community in the months ahead.
