101 Ways to Do A Burpee?!?

101 Ways to Do A Burpee?!?

YHC had never been to DaVinci… Its not that I didn’t have time to scout the AO, I’ve known about this Q for months, but as ever life got in the way and on Thursday when Fredo sent the reminder I realized I was hosed.  As a result I scouted the AO via google maps and realized exactly where the space I need lay, but more on that later.

YHC ran into the parking lot at about 0627 to witness a solid 4 PAX waiting to get started.  Having planned for 8-12 an on the spot audible was necessary, such is the joy of the Q.

THE THANG:

Mosey out of the parking lot and crossed Rea to the office complex where party favors awaited.  The gear was shortly laid out per YHC direction and the circuit was defined.  With classic rock blaring on the bluetooth speak we did 5X each of:

Plate Burpees (45 lbs) Chest to plate standard style arms during the merkin, press plate over head

Bumper Plate Burpees (20 KG) Chest to plate, military arms during merkins (elbows tucked), press plate over head

Ball Over Slamball Burpees (20 lbs ball) Press with right hand on ball, left hand on ball then over head slam at the top of the burpee

Military Slamball Burpees (40 lbs ball) Military style press with chest to ball, overhead slam at the top of the burpee

Sandbag Clean Burpee (60 lbs sandbag) Press chest to bag, clean bag to overhead during burpee

After the above 5 sets PAX hit the agility ladder for side-to-side directly followed by corner to corner runs (cones set in top of the lot)

Lap on the sidewalk down to Rea then around and back to the gear

Repeat above set

2 foot in and outs up and back down the agility ladder then 2x suicides on the cones

lap around the buildings

Repeat the burpee set but with two (or 4) merkins per burpee

Two foot in and outs up and down the agility ladder

Burpee suicides ran at the cones then another lap of the buildings was completed

A couple rounds of tug-o-war (cause YHC had brought the rope when anticipating a larger group but gotta use it!)

Gear Stowed in the Jeep, had a quick tour o’ blakney and an Indian run back to the BB&T lot for circle of Mary

Ye Naked Moleskin:

Being of A51, YHC doesn’t know the the Sons of Ballantyne as well as he might like, the DaVinci Q was aiming to fix that, I’ll have to give it another go!  That being said Fredo, Bucky, No Show and Jerry MGuire made a SOLID showing.  This was no easy workout and we covered a lot more ground than I had originally planned given the burpee heavy format.  Despite the audible, we had plenty of sweat equity invested this AM.  It was an honor to work with you men, I look forward to doing it again.
