Hey guys, still reluctant to throw the barbell around since I have to fly for 15-16 hours today, worried I'll jack the back. So instead I did "G.I. Jane." 100 burpee pullups for time. I've never seen it come up, and I've always been intrigued by it so thought I'd try it out. First time doing even a single burpee pullup, my motion was not so fluid. My time sucked, almost 19 minutes, but whatever, I was tired this morning (smallest kid up a lot). Waaaaaaaa goes the baby.
Here's a video of the final 10 reps from my phone. Burpee form again was starting to fail with head coming down, but these are reps 91-100, with two more at the end in case I didn't count right. I did try hard to touch my chest and chin to the floor every time, but started to waiver a little toward the end. I know, I'm wearing gloves. My hands are torn up from lotsa pullups lately. My garage pullup bar is exactly 8 feet off of the ground too, it's way on up there. I'm 6'4" and I have to jump to it.
There's a guy they call "bionic" on the main site videos that does this in like 11 minutes. That's just stupid, or I'm a puss, or I'm old, or something. And I'd be lying if I didn't admit that around rep 60 or so I thought about quitting... but I sucked it up, because there is this little voice in our heads that tells us we HAVE TO, right? Hell ya.

Fletcher awesome work, I'll hit this up tomorrow morning before I got to work and try to post the video.
ReplyDeleteIt looked fun.
Jacob - I bet you do it in 10 minutes, just to make me look bad :-)

ReplyDeleteFor Time:
150 Burpee Pull-ups (8' Bar)
9:05 (97 Reps)
Had to hang my rings and place a pull-down bar through them, secured with duct tape, in order to get a 8' bar height since I was at the FD. Other then that I totally screwed up my count going balls out in the begining and ended up only doing 97 reps after I watched the video, sucks!
As a penalty I did another 50 reps, or so I thought (49 reps, oops) just to see what I had left in the tank. It took me 4:22 for 49, but it took me 3:48 for 50 reps the first time around.
Looking forward to Elizabeth tonight, trying to get a sub 8 min time. I think I got it this time.
