Tag: Burpee

7/7/21

This was an absolute barn burner! Got it in around 8:15AM before it got too hot outside. I was still dripping with sweat by the time I was done.

4 rounds for time:

  • 400m Run
  • 12 Power Cleans (95#)
  • 10 Bar-Facing Burpees
  • 12 Back Squats (95#)
  • 10 Bar-Facing Burpees

Rest 1:00 between rounds.

My rounds were 4:50, 4:47, 4:48, 4:55 for a total time (including rest) of 22:22. Left me lying on the floor for awhile!

Doozy of a workout today! Happy to be back in the garage in Colorado though after a week in Costa Rica.

4 rounds for time:

  • 10 Clean and Jerks (95#)
  • 15 T2B
  • 10 Clean and Jerks
  • 15 Bar-Facing Burpees

Time: 19:56

I broke the C&J up from the very beginning (6/4) and the T2B (6/5/4). Tried to maintain a steady pace on the burpees. I was pouring sweat by the end of this one!

Full night of sleep last night so I was feeling MUCH better today. Wasn’t exactly looking forward to these two movements, but got after it anyway. Out in the gym around 1PM to squeeze in a workout between meetings.

15 min AMRAP:

  • 9 Burpee Over Bar
  • 12 Thrusters (65#)

Result: 9+9

I was tempted to go with the Rx+ version, which was 75# on the bar because 65# felt very light. I still think I would’ve made the goal rounds (6-9), but I stuck with 65# and and kept it unbroken the entire time.

Round times were relatively consistent:

  • 1:17
  • 1:32
  • 1:32
  • 1:34
  • 1:35
  • 1:38
  • 1:41
  • 1:42
  • 0:45

My primary strategy was to maintain a steady pace on the burpees, rest 10-15 seconds, complete the thrusters unbroken, and rest 10-15 seconds while marking the board before starting the next round.

I have an ortho appointment midday today so I headed into the garage immediately after dropping the boys off at school. I was debating about doing 21.2, but I decided to not put that strain on my low back and opt for this week’s Vault workout.

“Prometheus”

For time:

  • 15 Sandbag Lungesters (SB 65#)
  • 15 Sandbag Facing Burpees
  • 12 Sandbag Lungesters
  • 12 Sandbag Facing Burpees
  • 9 Sandbag Lungesters
  • 9 Sandbag Facing Burpees

— 3 min rest —

  • 9 Sandbag Lungesters
  • 9 Sandbag Facing Burpees
  • 12 Sandbag Lungesters
  • 12 Sandbag Facing Burpees
  • 15 Sandbag Lungesters
  • 15 Sandbag Facing Burpees

This was harder than it looked! I did the first half in 9:53 and then the second half in 9:59 for a total time of 22:52 including rest. I stuck with sets of 6/5/4, 4/4/4, and 5/4 on the lungesters. Those burned!

3/17/21

Haven’t logged workouts in a long while, but I’ve been doing them! Five days per week without fail.

Last week, I tweaked my back on Friday doing some higher volume deadlifts. Then, I tweaked it again on Monday doing KB swings…just when it was starting to feel better! I scaled yesterday’s workout to accommodate the injury a bit more, but I was surprised to find I felt great today after warming up. Power cleans, front squats, and burpees didn’t bother me at all.

For time:

  • 30 Power Cleans
  • 30 Front Squats
  • 30 Lateral Burpee Over Bar
  • 20 Power Cleans
  • 20 Front Squats
  • 20 Lateral Burpee Over Bar
  • 10 Power Cleans
  • 10 Front Squats
  • 10 Lateral Burpee Over Bar

I went with 95# today, which felt light, but I was being cautious rather than going with 115#. I split the round of 30 into 11/10/8 on the PCs. Then, I went 1 PC + 16 Front Squats. Then, 14 Front Squats.

Overall, I thought I maintained a solid pace throughout. Finished in 12:25 and did a 5-min cooldown stretch prior to heading out on a walk with the fam.
