Not to be abused but I agree with the sentiment "I give myself (64) permission to.." Today I gave myself permission to do 300 UN weighted pull ups in an hour. I really would like to be doing Burpees but at 64 I'm finding that my springs have sprung.
Nice Max, I did a nice amount of carb loading yesterday and felt primed for my session today. 20 minutes of 4 counts for me followed by a weight lifting session overhead press, incline bench press, battling ropes/pull-ups
I use an interval timer which I have saved presets of 100, 110, 120 etc divided into 20 minutes. I find sticking to that beeping cadence forces me to keep going psychologically. I still keep count in my head, but I did accelerate to 8 a minute for a couple of bursts to achieve the 115. I never really drop below being able to do 120. My max is 137. I've been doing Burpees for about 5 years consistently though. I'm not sure it's a very common way of doing it, but it works for me!
@ thanks for sharing your approach. 137 is amazing! Is it a timer you have on your phone? Are you on a fixed cadence where you do a rep every 10seconds or just 6 at the beginning of each minute? Thanks again!
@@maxw1061 it's a basic app on my phone (android) it's called "interval timer" was the best one I found in terms of no frills functionality with minimal ads! So yeah, for example, if I want to do 100 navy seals in 20min I set it to do 100 5 second rounds. Obviously the maths doesn't quite work out perfectly for all of them. I haven't found a timer that does decimals of a second haha. You don't really get time to rest with this method unless you do another extra rep in between "beeps" this method really pushed me to the bigger numbers though! No worries at all, questions are good!
@@maxw1061 Yeah its just a basic interval timer app from the playstore called "interval timer". To give an example of how i program it: If i want to complete 100 Navy Seals in 20; I'll set it to count 100x 5 second rounds. the rep has to be completed in the 5 second. So yes its a fixed cadence. Although if you want an extra bit of rest, you can put in an extra rep and get ahead of the "beep" haha Obviously the maths doesn't quite work out perfectly for different numbers, ive yet to find an interval timer that does decimals of a second! you either end up doing a couple more or less, but the strict cadence really pushes you. Its actually a pretty intense way of doing it when you aim for the higher numbers of your skill set, but this method really saw the numbers increase! You learn to really hate that beeping sound! Hope that makes some sense!
I did the Mass Building modified 6 counts with 100 lbs. Still trying to work up to the Leg days but can get to about 2 rounds including the 10 squat chasers but I’m telling you 7 rounds is a task. 💪
This guy is a monster when it comes to endurance and strenght!
More endurance than strength.
95 for me today, still recovering from a cold
110 today.....I took a minute off at 15 minutes, then slowed down for a minute to catch my breath.
Thank you, Dr. E., for your example of brutal honesty and perseverance!👏💪

115 for me this morning, was only aiming for a nice 100. You never know what will happen
How do you approach your session? I only wonder about the 15 reps difference. You cannot do them just at the end.
