It’s all about the pace @carlbm mate. Set a good pace and it’s fairly straightforward

A long time back I managed 100 in 5:59. One every 3 seconds. That was tough.
I’d be lucky to manage all in 10:00 these days.
I might start with 10 every min for 5 mins. And increase from there.

Eghgh. Can you sub cleanandpress for burpees?
A bit hard to do on the living room floor I guess…

@jdm135 That would be an awesome workout. Double kb even more so.

@ChongLordUno I’m trying to get my pace set for now.

A start, which you can definitely achieve now, is:
10 rounds. 10 reps per round. C&p 95lb.
Rounds are every 2 minutes, so in 20 minutes you’re done.

But you would end up adding burpees to that and we’re right back where we started!

Still not good at pace setting. These are harder than expected.

I will start mixing things up further down the line, but for now burpees do the job as a no training ā€œforfeitā€

Clean and press is awesome for this though. 21-15-9 with ā€œsomethingā€ inbetween is absolutely brutal for everything, grip included.

Notes:

  • Quick morning session. Press topset was harder than anticipated but still went up. Neck pain was awful today, nearly called it after the 50kg set.

Any idea what’s going on here? Neck pain has persisted for a while. Injury? Chronic stress? Hows your sleep?

Could easily be stress. I’m inclined to think it’s more physiological though. It can usually be eased up by stretching and loosening but not so much joy recently.

Just to pump the chest up a bit. Kinda worked as planned. Not great as a Cardio hit, but good for getting blood flowing to the chest.
