"G.I. Jane"
100 burpee to pull up
10:19
I didn't stop during the met-con. I was keeping a solid pace. Not really flying but never standing still. This is a total mental workout. The second you take you mind off of continuing or something other then doing burpees and pull ups, you will stop. I watched the basketball game, thought about anime and focused on my pull up so that I wouldn't be distracted with the idea to take a break. I am at the point in my training where I can do a lot of workouts unbroken. To get faster, I need to pick up the pace during the unbroken sets. This is quite a daunting task that I am working on.
Maiko crushed these workouts also. It was only her second and third workouts of the day, slacker! Mad props to starting let alone finishing! Great job!
Yay Cookies!
ReplyDeleteHad no idea that was a PR with the Push Press, congrats!
Your take on GI Jane is interesting. You're at the point strength-wise (or muscular endurance wise) where this would be more of a mental challenge than physical. I'm not saying that it was painless for you but you can bang out a lot of pull-ups and a lot of burpees in general. For me it was def. more physical! My lats gave out early but I'm not great at high-rep push-ups (performed during burpees) or pull-ups. You saw my lower-half started giving out during the last 20 or so reps. High-rep work is my cryptonite!
I think pacing like you did would have helped me get a better time, but I think my breakdown in reps still would have occured just because I lack the muscular endurance. Maybe 30~35 in reps versus 15~20.
Oh, and feeling the hand getting ready to tear was def. distracting! Mid-palm tears don't seem to be nearly as bad as the ones along the top of the palm tho, so I'll just roll with it next time if it happens again.
Regardless, t'was fun :)
