Buck Furpees

Damn, this being sick crap really has its limits (duh).  By the time I get better I'll probably have 700 burpees to do.  Too far along to give up, but this challenge is really making hard to recover between workouts.  I did Fiona's workout on Weds and had real trouble getting through 21 push ups.  My shoulders felt like I had pikes in them.  Maybe we should think twice before doing this crap again???  It really takes the variance out of a work out when you are doing the same movement for days in a row.

It is good to hear that Jason is doing well and I know that we look forward to seeing you back soon.  Take it easy.

Lastly, I came across this video on youtube.  Some of the strongest deadlifters are not the biggest.

I think the easiest way to make it through the challenge is injury free w/out sickness. There's a number of affiliates that do it, whether it's a burpee challenge or pull up challenge, or even HSPU challenge & people make it through. I think everything has to fall in line though and injuries or sickness are big set backs. Our bodies should condition and get used to the extra work as the days progress, but not all are able to keep up. Look at me, I had to drop out because of my weak achilles.

I agree, if the purpose of our training is to get through the challenge. I was wondering what something like the challenge does to our training if the purpose is something different (i.e. a competition, etc). For the last 30 days, you are really doubling up and lose all rest days. Just a question as I am back on the burpees and only had a little under 300 to make up.

BTW your kidding on the HSPU challenge? RIght?
