Vellner does 100 Burpee Box Jump Overs in 5:37

[pebblesofhoward]

Title says it all.

@pebblesofhoward Put this on my list of things not to do, just below burpee mile.
Also, in the spirit of progression, when 7 minutes of burpees came up in the open back in ‘11 or ‘12 a lot of people were in the 110-120 range.

@chiole I still have PTSD from the burpee mile

 

[britebore]

@tp243 I feel like a burpee mile team WOD could approach doable (e.g. 4 person team with 1 working at a time to progress toward the mile... but solo? F No

@britebore 1 mile game of leap frog basically then

@chiole it sort of bothers me he doesn't stand up all the way on the box. is that not required as part of this routine and if not why? im new and hoping to learn by asking this. not my intention to criticise. thank you.

@anthony8 When it is an ‘over’ you don’t have to extend on the box. Different when you descend back the way you came. In that case you normally have to extend.

 

[dawn16]

@anthony8 Box jumps require you to stand all the way up, but jump overs dont AFAIK.

My guess is that it's meant to be a movement programmed for speed and higher volume.

 

[anthony8]

@dawn16 thank you.

 

[tp243]

@dawn16 It's also a lot easier to judge

 

[bvandewalker]

@anthony8 As seen in other comments - it's a box jump over, not a box jump. Extension on top of the box is not required and in fact you can just broad jump over the box without touching it if you want (although it's exhausting).

Spoiler alert: Vellner does this on rep #100.

 

[forceofgrace]

@chiole I thought it was 17 minutes of burpees

Edit: Did the research, only 7 confirmed... Stupid memory

 

[mfhorn]

@forceofgrace For games level athletes it should have been 17.

@pebblesofhoward Oh I see what I did wrong.

I’m not Canadian.

@bcs90 It’s the syrup, it makes ‘em crazy

 

[advancedatom]

@mertt These boys get that syrup in them. They get all antsy in their pantsy.

 

[jari_]

@advancedatom You boys like Mexico?

 

[jwd]

@mertt It’s also the poutine.

The fries give you energy, the gravy gives you muscle, and the cheese curds make you immune to pain.

 

[faen]

@mertt Can confirm this is true
