Awesome work, James! And so glad that this video proved helpful!

Great advice, I've been doing 20 within 20 minutes every day I can, and resting on the days where I'm super sore. My work is physical as well, so I don't want to push it and be in pain or risk an injury. My plan is to do 20 within 20 minutes until I can do 20 straight, and then test in properly. By then my body will be acclimated. I've done 4 days worth of 20 navy seals so far, and I am now to the point where my soreness is highly reduced. Taking protein afterwards has helped with this as well. Soon I'll be following the program properly. Thanks again! There's no hurry to go up the levels, because this is a lifetime mission not a race!

Great advice! I remember hearing it's better to go home on a crappy workout than get hurt and be out longer potentially due to injury. I've been doing some 20min burpees for the past 2-3 weeks already, but I already have some wrist issues, so I modified to use parallettes. Also hurt myself after years and years of typical pullups because I was trying to go further my range of motion doing chest to bar a week ago, but that pinched a nerve in my elbow.

Good timing for me Max. Just sustained a pulled chest muscle but probably not due to the BDP. However, just easing back for recovery to come back stronger and more motivated. I know its the right thing to do, listening to my body, even though I really don't want to miss out on the 80 mins per week training working towards 1C which speaks volumes for the BDT protocol. Will be looking at some of the accessory movements in the interim (4 count with squat).

Hi Max, Week one is nearly done, got 67 6 counts in on Monday, could only get 22 navy seals on Tues, took a rest on Wed, and got 25 navy seals yesterday. I'm aiming for more tomorrow. Is it normal to have such a difference in numbers between the two? I'm finding the navy seals are infinitely more difficult than the 6 counts.

I want to stay consistent with your vision for the program! Thanks for your help! And now that I’ve finished the video, even after years of training, the advice here is fantastic to hear, especially the “plateau” experience.

As for your question -- once you've unlocked both workouts, you're officially a Level 2 practitioner, whether that's in the same week or not -- but be aware that it's easy to slip back to the level below. Once unlocked does not mean always unlocked. When you graduate the program, you must complete both graduation workouts within a week.

Really great advice! When I found your channel I was chomping at the bit to get going on the program and start getting back I to shape. As a former high level athlete up until 30 yrs old ( now 42) I figured that my body had enough experience and muscle memory to jump feet first and get after it. But after 2 weeks I have been experiencing some pretty good rotator cuff/ bicep tendon tendonitis. After hearing this I know now that in my mind I'm still an in shape athlete but in reality I needed to go way slower and reintroduce my body and muscles more realistically. Any advice for experiencing tendonitis on this program? Thanks!

In my own case, the miracle of burpee training is more that I have not lost muscle in spite of not lifting weights in three years. But many many of the busy dads who come to the movement without a prior background in lifting have super impressive muscle gain. I also have a mass building program for those who want to leverage the movement for pure mass gaining purposes

BusyDad, does it matter if you do the reps all together and then give yourself a longer time to have a breather as opposed to doing exactly each rep within the allotted time-frame? I ask because I find it difficult to concentrate watching the clock for each 10 second period (or whatever it might be) and often find my mind wandering.
