" We did this one all the way back in March. Remember March when we all thought we’d be back in the gym by the end of April, happy days.
So this is just the best little WOD ever, the range of times I’ve seen for this are astonishing, the longest being nearly 40 minutes. A couple of things to remember, the first 3 rounds are going to destroy your pecs and triceps unless you’re clever. If you’re jumping your burpees down you are catching yourself and putting a high speed eccentric on the aforementioned muscles, this will make your push ups much, much harder as you’ll fatigue. Clever people step the burpees down. Just saying. Hand release pushups in singles all the way throgh means you don’t have to stop, you can just grind your way through them unbroken. Tops tips.
The lunges are the best bit of this, so restful, just try to keep them as wide as your squats would be and land on and drive off of the heel, you’ll thank me. The situps are awful, sorry I’ve got nothing in the bank that’s going to make them any better, an ab mat will shave minutes off your time though. The air squats should be unbroken, pace them but remember this is your last movement so you don’t have to save yourself for anything else, you can always do another rep just embrace the pain, hug it tight to your little chests and suck up the suffering.
