What are some weaknesses of your body that you are trying to overcome? The reason I made this thread is so that we could all share our weaknesses and maybe there is someone out there who knows how to overcome it OR maybe even has a strength in it.
My major weakness is that I lack muscle endurance. I find that I have a lot of explosive strength but I have no endurance. I start losing a lot of steam at around 2-3 sets of a big compound exercise. By the time I reach the 5th set, I am just about ready to die. I have a buddy who does a high volume of pull ups and I just can't keep up with him. But I can do a weighted pull up with more weight than he can. I am looking to improve my endurance somehow. I tried lengthening the volume of my exercises but I have not seen a increase in my endurance yet.
I just hate feeling so cooked so soon into the workout because I have noticed that I fatigue so quickly. How is it that I am relatively strong but have no endurance?
I have the opposite problem. All endurance, no power. Crosshitter. If I'm supposed to clean and jerk 1 plate 50-100 times or some shit, it takes like 20 reps to even be warmed up without my lats aching or shoulder acting gay and then it's butter for as long as any mortal workout can be and it becomes cardio. My 1RM jerk is 175 with no-squat standing-bench garbage form, same as push press.
Pull ups are going to depend on your weight and if they are weighted. A lot of people can do an invisible kip until a plate is dangling by their balls. Use your explosive power at the bottom and use momentum so you don't have to crank it at the top and you can probably up your reps. You'll figure out what kipping is too, so beware of becoming a faggot.
I see. I think my pull up reps might be lower too because I do feel extension. Like I go all the way down until my elbows lock. Maybe I am doing pull ups wrong?

Your scapula retracting won't gas you out, it's the last little bit of the motion to get your chin up there. If you power up there, you're giving that part a break. I guess loosening up at the bottom would make that harder though. Assisted pullups are almost just as hard at the top if you use a band because it starts slacking. I guess powpow-ing up there is powerlift cheating, kipping is crossfit cheating and bands are bodybuilding cheating.

Don't listen to Jow Forums on everything.
Kipping pull ups have their use. It's not the same as a strict pull up. It's more of a gymnastics exercise. And it requires more grip strength and endurance.
I'm a big fan of strict pull ups, but, for example, I would never have learned how to muscle-up strict without learning kipping muscle-ups first.
You seem to have confused kipping with butterflies. There's no reason kipping will shred your rotator cuffs, as it's only going through about 90 degrees of rotation.
