Time to boot up

Yesterday at the office was A Day. I don't want to repeat it, but today is going to be more of the same, probably worse. At least it's Stop Day, so fewer faculty and students will be around. Crunch time with application season coupled with the extra stuff I'm doing for the CSSF right now is...really hard. And frustrating.

I wish I'd known everyone was on board with the changes to the conference venue back in October, when I had more time to deal with it.

But okay, it's Friday. I can do this. Just like I did thirteen fucking burpees this morning. Not in a row, but thirteen. Thirteen!

It's almost 7:45. I really gotta go put on my boots.

I am really hoping this day passes for both of us without unfortunate incident! Yesterday was A Day here, too. Yick!

Happy Stop Day! =)

It's almost noon. Nearly halfway done!

Everybody's on board! It's just the details now... like getting charged a thousand bucks for a dining room to eat a dinner that costs $10 more/head....

This isn't the situation at all. I can explain it to you in person if you like. Come to the office. I'm here all day.

I'm experimenting with distributed volume right now. It seems to be working well. I'm not doing any burpees, i'm doing 5KB squats, 5 pushups, 5 reverse rows. Every hour for 10 hours this week. 6 next week.
I'm wondering when I'll plateau.
If you distribute your burpees (burpurinates?)...
Unless your goal is to do 100 in a row. This kind of linear volume increase is a bit counter to how ones body adapts to demands but if you can make it work, go for it.
... concentrate on your glutes!
I've been lookin' for a good example vid online (not toooo hard)and everyone seems to do them like crap. Oh well. If I see one i'll post it.

Dude, I am not that crazy.

I'd like to do twenty in a row. Someday. Right now, I'm shooting for ten.

THAT was the crazy to which I was referring in my recent comment. I saw someone write about this online when I was googling this Burpee.
I have to say, I am slightly relieved that you aren't pushing yourself to 100.

Do you happen to know where the name comes from? I think my coach called it a "compound something-or-other" back in the last century.

THAT meaning 100 in a row, I should say.

No idea where it comes from. Sorry!
