Burpees

All posts tagged Burpees

Did my 22 burpees this morning. Since I”m still on the low count end, I decided to go a bit slower and work on not flopping to the ground. Also did the push-up motion the way Carl showed us at the gymnastics seminar with the  elbows rotated back closer to the body.

WOD:  Kimmy’s birthday WOD

4 Rds:

  • 10 overhead squats 115/75
  • Overhead carry 115/75 across the gym
  • 10 burpees over the bar

Plus 50 dbl unders after rd 2 & 4.

RESULTS:
18:00 @ 75#

I dropped the weight down quite a bit since my wrist tend to have issues… and they did anyway. First two rounds weren’t that bad, but the last two took quite some time.  And the burpees after doing the overhead stuff kinda sucked too. I really need to past this complaining…. one of the guys actually commented that I was making excuses before the workout even began when I was talking about my wrists. Its true… granted some of it is physical issues, but part of is mental. And thats the part I need to work on.

Note to self – Practice double-unders, the single + double takes way way way to much effort.
