  1. I have learned to embrace the burpee. I will probably continue to do around 50 a day just for grins and giggles. I will be happy to not have to do more than that though!

  6. We know that Ally Cat can do burpees – but yesterday Cait saw her doing them and I think she is buying-in for day 100.
    She does not have the jump at the end, but has the clap (so she may not make the rx column). I will have to get some pics.
    I think burpees within a WOD will now be cake!
    AWESOME effort by all those who took part in this – and those that were somewhat forced to take part when burpees showed up within the WOD.
    Never thought day 100 would come – but we are there!
    Now it’s time for some rest day running…

  16. Having just recently started the ring dips as Rx’d, going directly from thrusters to the ring dips was punishing. Hopefully, the muscles will respond to it and it will get better from here on out.

  21. should have went sub ten on that yesterday B, and i’d say the burpees worked against it actually.
    one other thing… phantom knee injury or not, if you’re in the burpee challenge, you can talk about it… i think you know where im going with this! LOL

  31. Ok – Looking for some strategy tips for the 100 burpees for time tomorrow. I don’t think even J9 can go a hundred unbroken. I have tried a variety of ways – 20, rest then sets of 10. max, rest, sets of 10. 90 Second intervals…They all put me around 9-11 minutes.
    If I push myself harder, form starts to suffer.
    Any ideas?
    Today I just did 99 in about 9-10. (No stopwatch)

  36. The last time we did 100 burpees for time, Janine DID do 100 in a row without stopping (in 8 minutes).
    I would like to see someone else step up to the challenge and get them without stopping.
    Form will break down, that is a given. You cannot penalize intensity… you are going to hit the wall eventually, and form usually is the first thing to go.
    My suggestion is to pace yourself and try to go as long as you can without stopping. If you must break, limit it to 10-20 seconds, then power through until the end.

  41. OK – Watched the video. What constitutes a rest? Although the tape was speeded up it looked like there were a few 5 second pauses in there.
    J9 – Please forgive me for doubting you! I am impressed.
    Coach – I will do my best tomorrow.

  51. quit braggin’ J9!!!
    lol, im sad to say im looking forward to finishing this, 99 today felt like the best 99 ive done yet.
    im looking forward to the baked goods even more though, do i hear chocolate chickpea cookies? mmmmm
    in the answer to this mornings question, im looking to shave 5-6 minutes off my filthy fifty time simply by improving the burpee skill. previously the psychology of doing 50 burpees at that point in the workout has killed me… never again

    Welcome back!
    Ollie is a MACHINE!
    Treats are NON-Paleo – so those doing the challenge will have to make the call on eating them…that is if Coach does not scarf them all down first.
