I will never do 100 burpees again.

Interesting to see the difference in people's experiences with these things. Seems the lighter fellas pwn the burpees and Standard's challenges, whereas tanks breeze through the snatch and swing challenges with ease.

The burpees absolutely owned me as I was doing them. The snatches owned me for 3 days after.

Hey revok, is it possible to be a "tank" even with gay fingers? Cuz I definitely have the latter but fit the profile of the former.

I share your pain. Luckily default 'tank stance' involves fists and/or crossed arms for maximum bicep-pump.

Well I'm only a whitebelt I know, and after the burpee challenge I wanted to post here just to compare to later time down the road.

5:23 / 190lbs. / 28yrs/ 45lb bell

And Revok is my hero after reading about Uber challenge. Can't wait to get 35 lb bell to give it a try too.
