Rurik Harrgath Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I did my burpee AMRAP before I carried a workout log so I cannot be sure just how many I nailed, but I do remember it being around 60... That seems to be everyone's starting point.

Kishi Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I dunno what my baseline is. I actually don't like to do burpees on account of my left wrist getting achy and complainy. It's an old holdover from when I broke it in high school, I think. Instead, I'm doing 100 KB swings at 53 lbs of weight in five minutes at least three times per week. I consider this to be an experiment to verify the "What the Hell" effect - to see if the conditioning carries over like proponents claim it does. 1 Quote Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE!

Kishi Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 does it help if you do them on your fists versus hands? Actually, as a matter of fact, it does. I can do them up on my fist no problem, but I figured if we were going to standardize the form that I shouldn't try to claim exception. Also, the extra distance makes me slower. I'm already going to be jumping a lot higher for form's sake as it is; I really, really don't want an extra handicap. 1 Quote Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE!

I'm still working on two-handed swings. My hamstring-load-and-hip-pop still feels like it could use some work.

Kishi Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 i wouldn't consider that an exception/advantage. i think what is important is that your chest hits the floor and hand hits the marker(on the jump) Yeah, but that extra second, though. :\ But to heck with it. I could do a test run for funsies at some point before the 13th. Should be educational. How are your Getups going? I'm still working on two-handed swings. My hamstring-load-and-hip-pop still feels like it could use some work. They're moving slowly, as I figured they would. I'm just now getting to the point where I go from first post-up on my elbow to sitting. Being patient with it is difficult, but I'm not interested in paying the price for poor execution. Two-handed swings are still tricky. The load-and-pop seems to be okay, but that standing plank where you anti-shrug and crush a walnut with your butt is something I really have to concentrate on. I tried to introduce some one-arm swings in there, but my lower back started talking to me so I've edged them back a bit in favor of H2H swings instead. Just for now. Are you doing anything else besides swings at this point? 1 Quote Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to comment
Sloth the Enduring Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 H2H swings are a great progression. They're kinda fun too, I love that moment when the bell is floating in the air. 1 Quote “We might as well start where we are, use what we have and do what we can." – Caitlin Rivers Sloth: The Man with the Hammer battle log Link to comment

Are you doing anything else besides swings at this point? Same here, I thought my one-handed Swings were okay until I tried to do 100 Snatches and my back was complaining instead of my ass. So it's back to the drawing board on that. I'm working on that until I feel confident enough to show a video to an SFG. BJJ and 5/3/1 are in the mix as usual (though after a that Deadlift PR put me out of commission for about a week I'm backing off a little bit on the strength work). Putting some time on handstands and V-sits, and S&S with a cheap-assed 45-pound kettlebell until I get enough money to buy a 53. I started my Getups with a Nalgene bottle to get my stability on point then a 25-pounder, and I've just moved on to the 45 for 10. Now I guess Burpees are in the mix. Might have to put in for a 6-week challenge if I get around to it. 1 Quote Valar Morghulis Halfling Monk, Chaotic Neutral Machete's Blog: Inside A Mad Mind Third World Warrior: The Eight-Year Training Log Link to comment
Kishi Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Man, deadlift PRs just seem to kill people. Killed the last guy I saw hit one too. Hm. Also, check out Rogue Fitness. They've got the cheapest price I've seen for kettlebells, and also, the bells are very high quality. Lovely finish on them, feels like rock. Be glad to see you come back if you wanted to. We have a PvE side-quest going for the next six weeks. You'd probably rock our faces. Quote Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to comment
Rurik Harrgath Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I. Love. Turkish. Getups. Dumbbell, kettle bell, and barbell.
