Comments on WOD Demo: 7 Minutes of Burpees
I appreciate the touch at the top to keep things legit (as opposed to the hands touching behind the neck). I have always touched a floor joist in my basement, and most can do that or touch an 8' ceiling.
That 6” standard jump above raised hands can be a deal breaker. I like how Scott draws that line to indicate where his bar is above, and also how he uses the chalk on his hands to mark where his hands should hit. Good stuff!
Ob please don’t bring this back to the Open. My least favorite of all time. And that’s including EVERY single open workout. 😂 This one and the 4 min of make it to the next Fran.
I've been doing back to back monthly burpee challenges to raise money and this just totally blew me away. Now I've got to set a goal for this crazy challenge and hope I can get over 75 in 7 min. ( 62 yr old heart attack and cancer survivor )
