Workout: BURPwEEk Day 3 – The BURPH
FNG’s: N/A
Mission and Principles:
F3: Fitness, Fellowship, Faith
Mission: To plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
The core principles of F3 are that it is always:
1. Free of charge
2. Open to all men
3. Held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
4. Led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary. You versus you. Modify or stop an exercise if you need to. The most important thing is that nobody gets hurt.
5. Ends with a Circle of Trust
Credo: Leave no man behind but leave no man where you find him
Warm-up: N/A
The “Thang”:
Run 1 mile
33.3 burpees
66.6 burpees
99.9 burpees
Run 1 mile
There was an EMOM timer going on throughout the duration of the burpees. Idea was to perform 10 per minute on the minute for the full 20 minutes.
Ended with:
Count-O-Rama: 15
Name-O-Rama
The Six – Carmen Sandiego
LDP3
Ball of Man
Spreadsheets from the Gloom: 53F and dry. The Burph sucks. Maintaining 10 burpees per minute for 10 minutes is hard. Holding it for 20 minutes is even worse. And the mile afterwards feels like two. And that’s even with no pull-ups. Props to Shepherd and any others who mixed some pull-ups into the mix. Talk about embracing the suck.
Since The Burph is the b-side to The Murph, the playlist echoed the sentiment with B-Sides of some of my favorite 90s rock artists.
“We Got The Whip” – Audioslave
“While All The Vultures Feed” – Incubus
“Alone” – Pearl Jam
“I’ll Be Your Domino” – Red Hot Chili Peppers
“Bleed Together” – Soundgarden
“Savior Breath” – Foo Fighters
“Jackie Blue” – Smashing Pumpkins
All in all it was a good beatdown, but I think the typical Murph crowd is not too keen on moving away from that standard formula. Looked like only a handful of guys there were actually doing burpees. Not sure if anyone ran the beatdown exactly as designed other than YHC. Might be better to take this one elsewhere to not interrupt what typically goes down at Coronado. That said, we all got a little better anyhow.
Current cumulative BURPwEEk Burpee Totals:
• The Wait: 070
• The Eclipse: 110 (30 were dirty man-makers)
• The drEMOM: 132 (or more depending on person)
• The BURPH: 200
