I took a time out in my 2020 burpees journey due to my retirement and relocation distractions but yesterday I embarked on my 2021 burpees journey and confirmed that me playing dodge ball with them has resulted in some serious burpees performance erosion.
My 2021 burpees journey is to complete 100 burpees workouts of at least 100 burpees. The ones I do include a push-up and hands extended overhead jump. Yesterday I completed 100 in the suckling air time of 15:56.
Anyone here want to join me in the journey?

I won't join You but I'll be cheering You on. Monday will be my first day back to work in a month and hopefully, I'll be back to tree work soon also. Not working that long and going back to the physical grind at first may do me in, . I can't wait to work Monday, way to much time on my hands.

I'm shocked how little that guy's body changed. "You can't outwork a bad diet."

, my stomach is hurting so bad. WHY? WHY? If old guys have to do an exercise video, Why can't they put on some loose jogging pants and a t-shirt? I don't mean to make fun of the guy because he's trying. I honestly would be embarrassed. Ok, I'm sorry.

Burpees..... Is there any other 'exercise' that is more torturous than burpees ? I've done them and hated every second of it Just the thought of them makes me not want to exercise Maybe in a 'burpees or your life' situation, they may be good for something If burpees had existed during The Inquisition, imagine all the time and expense they could have saved

Just the thought of them makes me not want to exercise I especially liked what they say @ 14:00 to 18:00.

The second exercise he does in this first video is one that Axehands (I think it was him) posted on the old forum. It was called "inudachi". I haven't done it for a while. If I get the urge, I may do it. I usually go a bit slower than Steve though. I think it's a combo of downward dog and cobra yoga poses?
I like these types of low impact, non-explosive, comfortable, baby/child exercises. I'd rather roll around on the ground than to jump up and down.

When Steve Maxwell speaks, MBS listens. Learned a lot from him.

Lots of good advice from the βDo as I say and not as I did.β crowd.
Would regularly chat with a big overweight and still strong power lifter when I belonged to a gym years ago. He was really beat up and could only bench press. I once asked him if he could do it all over again would he do it the same.
He said yes.

Pierini, Did he compete do You know? I know this is a little different but I watch a documentary about Ronnie Coleman. He said the same thing but I guess he made money. But to beat Your body to crap and being pretty much crippled doesn't make sense to me. I understand pushing a little. I cringe a little when I hear stuff like that. If I couldn't exercise because I did that, I would go crazy.

If I could exercise because I did that, I would go crazy. Our friend google says Ronnie Coleman has had 13 surgical procedures. Iβm sure his Mr Olympia titles and related business pursuits made him a multi millionaire, but at what cost.
