It makes wallballs and burpees that much more fun. Also, double unders are exponentially harder when both calves cramp up severely after each rep.
25 something or 26 something Rx, not sure. 50 double unders, which would normally take me about a minute, took almost 5, as I literally was doing 2 or 3 at a time jumping from my heels to try to avoid cramping up.

Last July it took me 40 minutes cause I was stubborn about my just learned double unders…

Thanks to Ian and Brandon for the tips on KTE, they helped a lot! Too bad I only had 10 left….. Pretty sure I did 50 burpees, but was so excited to nearly be done that I lost track in the mid 40s.

I beat my previous pr for filthy fifty yet still feel like I rested too much, especially on the wall balls.

I have nothing to add other than Donnie Shankle can do pretty much whatever Donnie Shankle wants.

But the next time Chris Powers ‘turns the heat on’ someone need to to check his work. Brrr.

Seasoned lifters probably develop their own styles and may look like they have “bad form” yet they still out-lift us by mile.

I have always tried to just keep it close, not actually push with the extension. Am I looking at the photos wrong, or doing it wrong?
