04-27-2010 HSPU/PU/KB swings/sit ups/burpees

For time:

30 handstand push-ups
40 pull-ups
50 1.5 pood KB swings
60 Sit-ups
70 Burpees

As Rx'd

16:40

It took ~7min for my 70 burpees. That's 6sec/burpee... sad.

2:45+2:49+2:41+1:25+7:55=17:35 (20/25/30/40/50 reps; subbed HSPUs to 3x10# plates; unanchored sit-ups; Avg.HR=171, Calories=291)

Got 10 HSPUs in a row, which is a PR for reps--it may be time to drop down to 2x10# plates. Matt, please note that it took me 7:55 for 40 burpees, so I wouldn't stress too much about 10 per minute. You're only a few minutes off of the best times they posted on the main site.

Congrats on the PR Seth. HSPU are physically and technically very challenging.

Thanks about the burpees. I have always hated these and wall balls so today I am starting the 100 day burpee challenge to overcome one of my "fears". day 1 = 1 burpee, day 2 = 2, 3=3, etc ... day 100 = 100 burpees.

If I miss a day say day 60 then on day 61 I have to do 60 and then 61 more. Its brutal and I am not stoked, but I will do my damnedest not to miss a day. At the end I will have "hopefully" done over 5000 berpeees

Beach here I come.
