That was so spot on that it just about brought a tear to my eye.
Also, Anna like Burpees because she is four feet tall and 40 kilo. Burpees are super easy for her.

Technically, I’m 5ft and 42.something kilos 
The same logic applies to the power lifts, hspu and pistol squats

Can you do HSPUs?
I use a wall
That is what a normal HSPU is, in my book. Doing it via a real handstand is a balance move for gymnastics, not a strength move.
In that case, my max is 40 unbroken
really helps when your ROM is less than 2 ft even going all the way down
As far as I’m aware, a burpee is chest to ground, then up to a jump. The pushup seems to be more or less optional, but at speed, you’d barely notice it anyway. No-one is doing super strict burpees, hence the inclusion in the list above.

I have seen thousands of burpees in my time. And literally never a “good” one. They would probably be amazing if people did not cheat.

yep, I used to do them without the pushup and my PE teacher/crossfit coach told me that was a no rep
It’s a formality so you don’t slam your face into the ground when trying to get your chest to touch
I have enough padding not to consider that a problem.

You are definitely seeing the transformative effect there. Great stuff dude. Things will most likely never be “normal” again, haha.

@dagill2 @Cyrrex you guys are making me feel weird, haha. My squad leader in the Marines was pretty strict about our burpees. When I did my 100 burpees (in 22 minutes or something really slow), I did them all strict. Down onto hands, kick legs back, full range push-up til chest touches ground and arms lock out at top, legs in while pushing back to land in a bottom squat position, jump, repeat.

So conflicted between the simultaneously encouraging and ominous tones of that message…

I’d just take the compliment. From what I understand, @T3hPwnisher doesn’t give them out willy nilly

Gearing up for another Deep Water run. My quad is still not healed, unfortunately, so I’m hoping it’ll hold up. It did today, but it was pretty uncomfortable to start and I felt it after squats. Doesn’t hurt now, though, hopefully that blood flow is helping heal it.

Unfortunately, gonna have to wait on DW for next week. Wife was exhausted, kids were nightmares and by the time I could get to the gym after my wife got home (gym daycare is closed indefinitely), I had 40 minutes til the gym closed under its modified new hours. So I did a quick full body workout and will just do similar stuff to last week. I’m still busting out PRs, fortunately, so no big deal.
Deadlifts
135x5
225x5
275x5
315x5
365x1
315x17 (PR)
OHP Strict
95x10
135 3x10
SUPERSET
Leg curls 3x15
and
Leg extensions 3x15
100 foot elevated pushups on knuckles, got through 50 the first set and then it was lots of rest pause to finish.
I wanna try for 315x20 on Friday and shoot a video of it. Let’s see what happens! I hitched the last 3 reps a bit, and was very very burnt out after that.

Nope, which means 315x20 is there if I want it, IMO.
