Open PvP - 13th July - Rangers vs TheWorld - 7 min Burpee AMRAP

[Endor]

This is an open PvP, anyone can join in if they want. 

 

Rangers vs TheWorld (i.e. anyone from any of the other guilds)

 

7 Min Burpee AMRAP (as many reps as possible)

 

This is simple, perform as many burpees (important: see rules in link below for height setup) as you can in 7 mins.

 

Rules are per the 12.1 Crossfit Open WOD

 

This is a benchmark WOD, I encourage everyone to take part.

 

Our battle will take place on Monday 13th July, up to 1 week before is acceptable for scheduling.

 

Go Rangers!

 

EDIT: Sign up in this sheet

[Endor]

ok just to get us started here's a pic my P.I. took of Dawsy doing his Burpee training.....don't think I've got too much to be worried about just yet

 

[DarK_RaideR]

I'm game, even though my home's full of hard floors bound to destroy my knees. Hard mode? Challenge accepted

[Endor]

Do it at the new box, you have 4 weeks yet, you'll be a member by then surely? Could be a good icebreaker with new crossfit friends....or they'll hate you for it [emoji14]

[DarK_RaideR]

I'm pretty new there, not sure if it's ok just walzing in and doing burpees on my own. Although if kzacher picks up the gauntlet and joins, I'm capable of doing burpees even in my sleep [emoji14]

[Yuen]

I am definitely NOT in (on the 25th of May).

 

7 minutes of burpees can get stuffed...

 

However between Endor and Dawsy - maybe you guys should have a friendly wager... perhaps the loser has to pay for dinner at the pub afterwards? :)

[Yuen]

I do volunteer to keep time and count (and harass the loser at the end) though.

[Endor]

Seems every assassin needs a bag and I thought it was the scouts who couldn't handle a 7 minute workout....

It's cool just mention my name

 

Seriously, after 4 weeks they won't care, show up 15 mins early for a WOD and tell them what you're doing, you'll have a crowd around you cheering you on.

 

It's only 7 mins....but it will seem like 700

[Endor]

also @kzacher the Rangers are gathering, will you measure up against your brothers?

[BarefootDawsy]

 

Blah blah blah save your breath...you're going to need it

[Endor]

[DarK_RaideR]

I just re-arranged the furniture in the house a bit, mainly to get a carpet I needed and place it under a roof beam of convenient height. Had to try it out to see where I'm at and set a benchmark for the big fight, see how much I've improved. Might also serve to spark competition a bit.

I stand at 67. Come at me, bros

Edit: Measured the distance, it's actually 7,5"

[Endor]

I tested last week and got 186 are you sure you're doing it right?

[DarK_RaideR]

Not sure. The mental push during workouts leaves me with minimum brain capacity for numbers, which means I often miscalculate. I'll probably need a spotter. Still, I saw the video on the link you provided and the guy did 128 (I think) burpees, so you must be doing those insanely fast...

[Endor]

[emoji14] i confess it's @kzacher headgames 186 in my dreams!!!! 67 is good, I'll be satisfied with 70.

[DarK_RaideR]

Busted by logic [emoji14] Although I must admit, I did fall for it before looking into it. Well played,sir.

[Endor]

Counter and judge are necessary really, no reps can be common in the later stages when you're tired so you want someone calling you on it.

[Buff Brogan]

Go ahead and throw my name in the pot.

I want to make sure Dark Raider gets a taste of our PvP early

Those kind of mind games don't work on someone who is lazy AND has no shame! :)

 

For example observe the following public statement:

 

I am soft and yielding like a nerfball. I am similar in texture and determination to a quivering lump of jello.

Oh look Rangers being awesome...again

It's an interesting theory but unfortunately proven untrue, you see Dawsy has joined in....

You'd better hope those words are paleo...you'll be eating them before this challenge is over.

[Endor]

Just need to find a Paleo version...

 

[Why not?]

What!? A burpees challenge that no one told me about!? This will allow me to take out my latent frustration at the lack of burpees during CF Open 15. I'm in.
