7mins.... as many burpees as possible Chest and hips to touch the floor, hands to touch a target 6" above your standing reach.

Pretty much my worst nightmare.

Some russian has managed 161. Big names - Rich Froning 141, and Dan Miller 138.

How many did you manage to pump out mate?

I think id be a little too heavy to pull them off.

Man i hate bupees too, but they work. Goodluck.

i didnt join the open, but decided to at least try the wods and see how i go this year on my own.
i did the burpees last night and managed 100. 7min doesnt sound long, but when you have to reach that target it hurts after about 60 seconds, haha.
have you seen the next wod?
looks cruel as well

so frilla, did you end up having a go?
howd you go if you did?
and did you try wod 2, or 3 yet?

That's a good number mate. Interesting that Rich Froning is already smashing everyone based on WODs 2 & 3...

cheers mate. not quite as good as the two boys at the top though - 161, the russian was a machine,
ended up with 50 on wod 2, which initially i wasnt all that pleased with, but after 2nd thoughts i realised that i hadnt done a lot of heavy snatch in my life (yea bring on the snatch jokes boys, haha) and counted up 20 reps at a lifetime best weight for that movement. so realistically happy with that. wod 3 is gonna suck, my hands are a bit torn up from the snatches still, so toe to bar should be fun.
and yea he's an impressive athlete. did you see the vid from wod 2 of him?
love the lay it on the line on day one and noone gets him. guys very impressive.
