A little more conditioning today with just 100 burpees. I spent the day with the family at a wildlife park so did quite a lot of walking. Was feeling beat up from the sandbag work so didn’t really want to train today. Got back home and put the dinner in the oven and had some time and realised that there was no good excuse not to do something. Felt better after.

Was another warm one today. Sweating like crazy. Got all the work done. Wasn’t super happy with the squat form, felt down on power. That could be the impact of the sandbag work on Saturday.

More conditioning today. Decided to do a 30 min burpee routine. Plan was to do 10 burpees on the minute every minute for 30 mins.
It was hot today and it was obvious a little way in that I was not going to be able to keep the EMOM pace all the way through. Ended up doing some of the sets with 90 sec rest whilst I gasped for breath. Still got 250 done in 30 mins and worked up a great sweat.

There’s a solution to this… (remove or decrease the burpees!)

Conditioning for today was the lovely navy seals (@ChongLordUno these are not lovely that are horrible)
Did 100 navy seals. Broke them down into sets of 10
and then did 10 inverted rows using the rings between each set. For that full upper body pump.
100 navy seals and 100 rows.
My back and hips do not love navy seals they were popping and grinding the whole time. Still got it done.

No one’s doing navy seals and for good reason
They’re too tough

Isn’t the fact that they are tough a good reason ?

Away on a break this week with the family so no gym work. Went for a nice walk on the beach today and looked at some caves. Walking along gave me a pretty good lower back pump. Made me thing of Dave Tates article about the good things about being a fat powerlifter 
Managed to find 20 mins today to get some burpees done. Just did 200 x 1 pump burpees. Not quick just getting some reps in.

More beach time today. Got in a few burpee on the beach and then did my first unbroken 50 later at the farm.

Pretty sure it is illegal to engage in public burpees wherever it is you happen to be vacationing.

As you can see from the video there was no one else there to report me to the authorities
