Burpees are pure evil...

...that are only topped by bar facing burpees (or burpee bar hops).

WOD1
50 Bar Facing Burpees for time

WOD2
Back Squat 3x5
Press 3x5

Burpees were actually not that bad. The plan was to keep moving but after 2 sets of 10 it was just sets of 2 or 3 or even 1. Eric stuck around and helped push me through this one. I ended up with 9:10 which wasn't that bad but if I had just kept moving I would have been sub 8 which is my goal for next time.

I was really looking forward to this strength WOD but the burpees left me a little gassed. I ended up with sets of 225,275 and 295 on back squat. Set at 295 I could only get out 1 and then had to dump it. Just nothing in the legs. I think with good rest I could do 295 for 5 easy. Press is a lift I need work on and ended up today with sets at 95,135 and then 155. Got up 2 at 155 then had to dump. Yesterday's WOD with the sand bag shoulder presses impacted today just a little bit.

Regardless, I amstill quite pleased especially given the previous blog post of dropping inches on the belly. Have not been below 50 in a really long time.
