Bar Facing Burpees at Aspen CrossFit

[suprimacy1]

There just working out.. its a burpee scaled for there strength. Looks like fun if you like working out and being fit. Good job Crossfit Aspen keep it up:)

Is a rep one-way or back and forth?

[herkalicious]

Burpees are not push ups...there is no real rules guiding form. However, the chest must touch the ground and you must get up onto your feet and jump to where you can see daylight under your shoes, and clap at the same time. That's it. In this case they are just jumping over the bar instead of jumping and clapping.

@herkalicious Um... yes a burpee is a pushup? I don't know where you ever got this from.

[jschmittdco]

Is it just me or is that horrible burpee form?

[Ginge529]

@jschmittdco do fifty burpees as fast as you can and show me your form

[Yvettelk]

@Ginge529 If you can hold your form then you need to decrease your reps.

[CamCats]

@Ginge529 Doing fifty burpees in a row, as fast as you can, with unacceptable form is not what CrossFit is about. An affiliate gym that I trained at this summer added a punishment rep for every rep done with poor form. I thought it was a great touch, it really makes you push out everything you've got.

what song is playing?

[docislegend]

@HBkilla123 some terrible cover of "Message in a Bottle."

& yes @jschmittdco , though i'm no burpee expert ...

those look terrible.

Okay I never knew what this was. What is the purpose of facing the bar though?

[LosPrests]

@mokahdeelyte instead of jumping straight up, you jump over the bar for more of a distance esque type of jump.
