I think in a lot of ways, the mental barriers are just as hard to overcome, as opposed to the physical ones. I'm glad to know that we think the same way, and also that you enjoy the voice over. I've got another 20 minute Navy Seal workout coming out here in a few hours. It was a tough one for sure, brother, but it ended up being a good result.

Hey brother nice work 👍 I think you’ve got this. My recommendation, don’t focus on the reps per minute. Just stick strictly to 1 rep every 10 secs, the key in my experience is consistent rest interval and a simple short term goal, the next rep! Good luck 🤩

But I think honestly your suggestion is better, simply for the consistent rest piece. I’m thinking of trying again tomorrow.

Great content as always! What warm up do you do for seals or burpee sessions? Mine varies but going in cold particularly for burpees is brutal. Not bailed the perfect warm up yet!

@DavidWhitten

8 ай бұрын

Hey David. Thanks for the question brother! I totally agree. I would find burpees difficult without a nice warm up. That’s especially true with navy seals. Maybe I could get away with it for some 1 pumps but that would be about it haha. The older I get, the more I need to get this old body warmed up👍. Maybe I should do a short video on my warm up? Either way, in a nutshell this is what I usually do before every workout. Jog in place, some jumping jacks, and while I’m doing that, I’m rotating my shoulders and warming them up. I typically do that for 2-3 minutes. Then I do some stretching starting with my neck, shoulders, chest, sides (lats) and end with my legs. I take a bit longer on this part. Maybe go for about 5 minutes. My legs are always a bit sore. I also enjoy a good downward dog, along with a few rotational stretches for the lower back and spine. Hope that answers your question brother. Thanks for checking out the channel again. I honestly appreciate the support.

@@DavidWhitten nice one. Yes a warm up vid would be cool. That's very useful. It's helpful to know it's legs that you do the most. It's the same with me. With 6 counts my legs are absolutely on fire usually but upper body relaxed. I'll add in significantly more lower limb warm up work now. I usually do 25 Burpees as my warm up but will mix it up I think. Hitting the high six count numbers requires maximum speed from the outset and going in cold has stung me a few times. Appreciate it. Thanks for the quality content. You deserve 100k more subscribers!

So familiar Territory here my man it can go either way 6 more reps sounds a lot and the 102 session well that happens I remember doing similar and then the next session getting a pr, I’m sure if you go in fresh and don’t put any pressure on yourself I’m sure you can claw another 6 reps. Have you considered doing the navy seals first for the next 80 minutes block? You know the 6 counts will come easier than the 10s and if you don’t hit the 10s you can back off on the 6 counts to reserve some mental energy for the following week? Just an idea brother great work it won’t be long 💪🏻🫡

That’s all great advice Jay man. I’d be inclined to agree. I feel like if someone put a gun to my head, I could just suck it up and get the 275. That’s not the case with the seals though. So yeah, focusing more on them does seem to make more sense. I was thinking about throwing on my body armour and doing like 120-150 reps. Rest for a day or so and then see what happens without the extra weight🤷‍♂️.

@@DavidWhitten you know it’s not the stamina that’s the issue with the 10 counts it’s the muscle endurance/fatigue mainly in the shoulders so using the vest may make you feel that much lighter once you do them without it, I’d just say go easy with the vest sessions as you don’t want an injury just use it as a tool to work the muscle endurance as it will more likely be shoulders that get injured and they are the worst for recovery time! I know you got this 💪🏻👍🫡

I would have three days free of upper body work. You will be going crazy! But all the muscles will be brimming with glycogen stores ready to attack the session. Every day or every other day is ok to build a background but when you need to perform on a particular day, you need to have had 2 rest days, preferably 2 rest days and maybe an active rest day.

@@DavidWhitten Yes. The intervals are not flat out. The idea is that they are all at the same pace. Also you can decrease the rest period. The interval is actually tge rest period not the effort phase. Example 6 x 800s on the track. Say 3 mins with 2 mins rest. Then over time decreading the rest. The first one should feel easy enough with the last done feeling tough. You could apply it to a certain number of reps The time would be slower than the taret you are aiming for. The bext day would br more slower endurance. Fartlek is a kind of speed play. In running you would vary pace almost as the mood took you. Hence the play. Eg up the pace for 20 reps ir vary the type of burpee at random intervals. These are just random ideas on thr subject.

Does anybody else count out the individual movements on those? Most I see just count the actual rep. You’re doing a harder version here. Good job, regardless…

If you don’t count, then you’re not actually achieving the different levels. Obviously people can still do the burpee workouts without counting, but for me to get the free shirt, Max is going to expect me to count each part of the rep😅.
