Workout Notes:
- Classic soul crusher. Hang onto your shorts.
- I have fallen out of love with the jump at the top of this movement, but didn't have time to re-film the move. Drop the jump and be sure to get your hips and arms fully extended at the top.
- Be careful with your back today. Sometimes when the going gets extra rough (like today toward round 17) we lose a little focus on form. It's understandable, but unwise. As you come out of that burpee and begin to heave the weights, take just a small pause to reset your spine. If you do, you should be just fine.
- Some of you get a little backache with burpees anyway. It is the nature of the move for some. Doubling that up with a lift from the floor could be cause for a bit more worry. So, if you are prone to back pain (even if you're not) , take this move a bit slower than usual burpee speed. And form up that spine when pulling from the ground. It'll keep you healthier.
- Maybe just do the reverse version if you are prone to back pain.
