CrossFit uses strict work as part of their training, such as strict pull-ups, strict toes-to-bar, etc. There are even strict versions of their famous benchmark workouts. One of them is "Cindy, Strict!" (https://www.crossfit.com/190111). My score was 12 rounds + 5 strict pull-ups + 10 push-ups + 12 air squats (387 reps).

Seems like "Part of" is the key word, and it also appears as though the goal of each day is to tell people about it in the comments. A solid calisthenics program would probably be more valuable imo.
I love calisthenics. I do the Recommended Routine over at Reddit Bodyweight Fitness: https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommend.... I do this routine in addition to my Olympic weightlifting training. I do CrossFit for fitness testing and for that HIIT stimulus, not for "training" training.
