I just did while my two friends were laughing at me, so I was laughing quite a bit as well. I'm also hungover as hell so I know I can improve quite a bit. Did it sets of 10. Also could of pushed myself a lot harder but it was fun nonethe less. Cured my hangover!

Guys, curious as to what you felt first, cardiovascular fatigue or lactic acid buildup in the legs ?

For me it was the lactic acid buildup, my cardiovasculr system is in good shape but my legs were really feeling it.

The sets of 10 worked well for me because after the first 30, 10 seemed to be the point where i could feel the lactic building up, so a quick few seconds break, shake em out and i could do another 10 much easier than if i kept going.

I always feel lactic acid buildup first.

Dude . . . not all at once. They had to work them off. They did like 200 yards a day after practice everyday.

We had to do a shit load of burpees at J Robinson's (wrestling coach of Minnesota) 28 day wrestling camp. I didn't think they were that hard. Up downs are harder.

I have discovered the angry and vengeful lesbian sister of the burpee.

It is known as the "Jumping jack push-up climber."

Quote:

Description: Perform one jumping jack while jumping as high as possible. Then, quickly drop down and perform one push-up. Next, perform the mountain climber by pulling your left knee up towards your chest, then switch legs by pulling your right knee up towards your chest. From there, jump both feet up towards your chest into the tuck position. Lastly, stand up and return to the jumping jack. That's one rep.

Thank you, Chad Waterbury, for unleashing this evil.

Try alternating between 20-25 of these and a round of fast-paced rope skipping. EVIL.

Been having a bit of back trouble myself this week, but I'm determined to beat my PR. I reckon I can shave at least 20 seconds off. After all I have better incentive than anyone to improve. They say it only hurts the first time, but...

Also I should be going up a weight class soon. Creatine and Xmas chocolate has me up to 198lbs.
