Done An Inverted Burpee
March 09, 2011 Filed in: CrossFit
Happy Ash Wednesday (and Lent)!
Back in April of 2009, CrossFit.com posted a workout of 100 inverted burpees. At the time, I was nowhere near being able to do something like that.
I totally forgot about them until my friend and awesome San Francisco CrossFit gymnastics coach Carl Paoli reminded me about Jeff Tucker’s site http://crossfitgymnastics.com. They posted this video a few days ago:
I decided to try to do one against the wall since I am not confident in my ability to do freestanding handstands yet. My first attempt I misjudged my distance to the wall and crashed into it. You can see the video of that below.
After that, I tried to get mentally psyched up for it. I got set up.
I went down to roll back.
I rolled back into a candlestick.
I rolled forward, planted my hands and went into a handstand.
I definitely could work on some things for this. It wasn’t too bad for my first try, and I want to incorporate these, or even just parts of them (forward rolls, handstands, candlesticks), in my warmups. I think I may try to do one hundred later this year.
Enjoy the video:
