That’s so many pushups, you planning on altering your lifting because of it?

Yeah, that did cross my mind.
I will sub out the dbell bench and dips I do in krypteia for burpees.
Otherwise, bench and press stay as planned. I can normally handle volume ok, just will need to up the band pull aparts to keep the shoulders happy.

I would think if you did the burpees either at the end of your session, or at the opposite end of the day to the gym, you should be fine. If you keep the pace even with a few seconds between each rep they wont tax the chest that much.

Good point.
I’ll play with the timing and see how it goes. Can always sub them out later.
could also split them up, 100 at the start of the day and the rest after your workout
Being a work thing (which is how I got talking about it in the first place), I will be sprinkling as many as I can throughout the day.

Didnt do krypteia tonight, did:
114 burpees in 14:04, to bring my daily total to 175.
Then, tested front squat. Hit a solid 120x1, failed 140kg. Guess it can only go up 
I should note, starting my new cycle.
Cycle 5: Krypteia Prep Round 2
TMs:
Front squat 95
Press: 67.5
Trap Bar 125
Bench 102.5.

Cant wait to see how you go with the front squat and the 531 protocol. This will be interesting

Ok, got off the rails a bit, details not for on here but chose family over fitness yesterday because it was the priority. I could have done both but i havent reach Pwn levels yet.
So back on the track. I have to now do 185 burpees a day to stay on track for the challenge.
Ive also been added to a group chat to do a virtual Murph in August so its all happening 
maybe I am becoming a crossfitter after all.

200 burpees done today over the course of about 45 mins while cleaning up after the kid.
Back to lifting tomorrow. Not sad about burpees though, starting to get in a groove with form.

Yesterday was only 130 burpees
Wife had a chat with me last week about working out after work when i should be spending time with the family. Its a fair point, but I’m very out of the habit of waking up early enough to work out, so this will be a bit of a transition.
Morning workout: up at 5, coffee and read, in the gym before 6.
