I find burpees an excellent exercise, but I would advise against them if you are overweight. I would advise you to adjust your diet first before doing burpees.You can find documentation on roidusport.fr

Anyone have some tips or cues for double unders. I’ve tried penguin taps, using the cue “jump wrist wrist. I’m still struggling to learn these

One thing that helped me was to master alternating single-unders and double-unders, i.e., one DU, one SU, one DU, one SU, etc. I would also bend your knees, if necessary, until you get the hang of them, before moving to more efficient posture/movements.

Wow, DUs super sucked today. So much tripping I wanted to just switch to singles but forced myself to keep at it. Admittedly I wanted to push the row more today and improve burpees (I'm not fast at those). Still frustrating about the DUs though.

Based on this demo video, it seems like doing burpees rx is not required in this workout? I mean, they don't "JUMP to FULL hip and knee EXTENSION" and they definitely don't "EXTEND the arms OVERHEAD during the JUMP"...?

Globo wod: If a rower isn't readily available today sub sumo deadlift high pulls 45/35 pound barbell, 53/35lb kettlebell, or 2x 20/15lb dumbbells. Burpees are what it is. Double unders sub tuck jumps today if you don't have a jump rope.

Steve Day
January 5th, 2021 at 2:43 am

Janine - I think the key is finding a nice consistent pace and sticking to it. Think jogging vs sprinting. Try to be as efficient as you can with the jumps i.e. dont jump too high and expend more energy than needed.

Steve Carey
January 5th, 2021 at 5:48 pm

I agree with everything Steve says, finding a consistent rhythm/tempo is way more important than speed. I'll never be an expert but have put a lot of focus on DUs lately and have found that slower is better - it helps me with breathing, less shoulder/arm fatigue and messing up a little less.

I have found breathing in on even and out on odd reps helps me keep going. It’s a bit fast but then I can take long slow breaths between sets. Also helps me keep count… Hope this helps!

And at other times, practice basic diaphragmatic breathing in a supine/face-up position to really expand your lungs sideways when you are relaxed, and it can get a bit easier when you are upright and working hard.

Commented on: The Burpee

I've got a question regarding the phase from the plank - lowering the chest to the ground - back to plank. I imagine doing the strict pushup with the spine neutral and not moving is the safest method, however I see ALOT of people coaching the method of doing the burpee as a kind of "wave" from plank to the floor back to plank. Is the "wave" more stressful for the lower back and should coaches teach the safer method? Any evidence or experience? Because alot of people can't to a regular pushup. And confronted with the "strict pushup" burpee, they simply can't do it.

I noticed the same thing, Bengi. I have been coaching and CrossFitting for 10yrs and am unfamiliar with a burpee requiring a rigid body (as in a push-up), and this includes the Open. My guess is that one can improvise the ground portion based on their fitness. I do see folks who are very fit utilize a push-up and seem to have extraordinary efficiency with it, but I, personally, can’t. I have always performed and coached the burpee as 1) get chest and thighs on the ground 2) get back up to your feet 3) get some daylight under your feet. Furthermore, I prefer touching my fingers to a target in the burpee to ensure a reach to the sky during the jump.

Either way, variety is the name of the game, and there’s room for lots of burpee variations. Sometimes we even do “sprawls”, where the body doesn’t go to the ground at all as a burpee variant.

As for avoiding flexion/extension through the burpee for safety, as a general rule, it’s horseshit. Spinal flexion and extension in this manner is fine for a healthy spine.

If you keep your butt and belly squeezed, you're actually practicing a good skill by bowing and flexing. On the other hand, if you want to work on the strength part of it you would want to practice the rigid body position. Check out a video called Skill Transfer of the Burpee - it's with Carl Paoli and it's in the Journal and probably on YouTube also.

I call that method of burpees “worming”. I don’t see a problem with it. Consider it a kipping burpee
