[@memickey1000]

With the different burpees you cannot compare the wod’s

[@thebarbellspin]

These are videos of the same workout…both of the 24.1 Open.

[@memickey1000]

@@thebarbellspin obviously, but with the difference in execution you cannot compare the time

[@pascalfournierlevrai]

​@@memickey1000 on the contrary it's very enlightening to see that the one who's using the energy saver version of the burpees from the start is actually going faster.

[@malach35]

Aren't both feet supposed to land together?

[@BarryMcCock]

Thanks for doing this!
