Pacing Burpees

Back of my thighs are sore from all those back squats still. The box is closed since it’s Friday and I’m going to rest tomorrow to do Open WOD 13.1 on Sunday. Figured I would get in a little home work.

Did a trial run of 40 burpees to a 6″ target as a slow and steady pace, so I could get used to it for the 13.1. I couple of weeks ago I did 50 of these all out in 2:39 and was dead for like a half hour. I did the trial run in about 2:50, which I think turned out to be pretty solid. I was breathing heavy, but not dying. Started out at about 4 seconds per burpee, but slowed down in the half. Good overall rhythm.

5 Rounds

  • 15 HR Push-ups
  • 20s L-Sit
  • 20 Air Squats

I didn’t time it since my goal was quality movements and trying to do everything unbroken. I probably rested 2-3 minutes after each round, except for a quick turnover into round 5. Everything was done unbroken. For the l-sits I put two chairs together and help myself up, with knees bent and above parallel for all 20 seconds.
