Step 1 to improving your burpees: get shorter

If you’re tall and good at bar facing burpees… you’re a dawg

I call the ❌ worm burpees. Not ideal for all your reps. Final frame captures it well.

WHY is the ❌ bad

I’ll pin the first correct answer or post my thoughts first thing tomorrow morning.

There’s one more big difference I did not point out. Can you find it?

This video actually supports the argument that women should throw to a 10-foot target, just like men.
We traditionally scale loading by roughly 30% for women, and the numbers here align with that approach.

The funny thing is, I almost didn’t post this because I don’t necessarily agree with the conclusion. 😂

Here’s what this analysis doesn’t account for:
The velocity and acceleration of the ball.
Zoe releases earlier than me, her ball spends more time in the air. Her ball is projected farther through the air which requires more energy to do so.

This is one possible explanation for why Colten Mertens was able to outperform Jayson Hopper during the 26.1 CrossFit Open announcement.

Colten’s ability to launch the ball earlier and begin his next repetition may have given him an advantage over an athlete spending more time squatting with the ball. Like a tall athlete (Hopper)

Compound those small differences over 100+ repetitions, and they can create a substantial difference in total workout time.

CrossFit doesn’t care how fit you are in just one time domain. We want to test your fitness across ALL time domains, short, medium, and long durations.

This event was about power, and had 3 parts

1. Max Watt Echo Bike - Under 20 seconds
2. Max Rep Snatches (185/135 lb) ~30 seconds
3. 100’ Zercher Yoke Carry (405/285 lb) 10 seconds

A whole lot more leg burn than normal

@crashcrucible hinted at having these in some fashion. The reps shown I am throwing a 14# ball to ~12’ target.

Turning as you jump is more efficient

Now what’s the difference over the course of 100+ reps??

This is a 10’ target

@zoepwood is 5’1”
I am 6’

Long arms might be the only reason you lose a HSPU workout!!

I used the CrossFit standard 30” HSPU line
