Hundred Burpee Challenge

[digitaldiscipline]

Well, not so much a "challenge" as a thing to do, and sucker others into doing.

100 burpees, for time.

After having a generally shitty workout last night as a precursor to a completely crappy evening, I was bitching to thewronghands, who mentioned that this might be her workout today.

So, we're going to make ourselves want to puke at lunchtime, separately, together.

Anyone else with similarly questionable judgment is encouraged to join in the festivities. You may choose whomever you want as the target of your invective and/or imprecations of hatred and loathing.

Note: This time, we're doing actual burpees, including the pushup in the middle, not the inadvertent squat-thrusts that happened last time.

100 burpees? Yow.

Nobody accused me of being bright, especially when presented with a challenge of this nature. :-)

SO yeah, I just puked looking at the proper form video you posted. You're nuts. But you already knew that.

this was surprisingly non-awful, actually.

I hit the wall around 88, but after my breather at 95, the notion "i could be a real asshole and go for 200" crossed my mind.

instead, i ran two miles.

er, breather at 90. the bad idea occurred around reps 94-95

Two miles sounds entirely more enjoyable than a second set of 100. Seeing how winded the woman in the video got doing just the 10 or 15 she did...I'll be avoiding these unless someone has me at gunpoint.

I agree that I would rather run two miles than do a second set of 100. Or ten miles, for that matter. I'm not sure where the "for the love of God no more burpees" mileage limit is, but it's out there.

Now I'm wondering if I can do the second hundred in less time than you could run two miles.

Not TODAY, mind you...
