– Max Bar Facing Burpees in Remaining Time
Rest 1:00 b/t sets
Barbell: 95/65lb, 43/30kg

Goal: 80+ Burpees

Stimulus: Barbell Cycling and Burpee Conditioning

RPE: 8–9/10 — Hard effort intervals. Each set should push intensity while remaining recoverable within the minute of rest.

Primary Objective: Stay unbroken on the barbell and increase the reps on burpees each set as reps decrease
Secondary Objective: Unbroken Double Unders + sharpen transition timing and pacing discipline across multiple sets.

Workout Strategy:
Each 2:00 window should be treated like a controlled sprint — open with smooth, unbroken double unders to establish rhythm, then transition immediately to confident push jerks with minimal pauses between sets. The shoulder fatigue will compound quickly, so use fast leg drive and consistent timing to save the triceps. Once the bar hits the floor after the final jerk, drop directly into bar-facing burpees and keep moving continuously until the clock beeps. Focus on steady breathing and efficient movement rather than speed bursts early on. Across all five rounds, aim to hold similar burpee cadence and speed which means that you will be getting extra reps each set as the rep count on jerks decreases.

Movement Modifications:
- Double Unders: Reduce to 36 reps or sub 60 Single Unders.
- Push Jerk: Reduce loading to maintain unbroken or two quick sets per round. Substitute Push Press or Dumbbell Push Press if overhead position is limited.
- Bar-Facing Burpees: Step-over or lateral burpees if limited by space or shoulder mobility.
