How to do it

Setup

Standing beside a loaded bar lying on the floor.

Steps

  1. Burpee beside the bar: plank, push-up, feet in.
  2. Jump SIDEWAYS over the bar, both feet together.
  3. Land soft and burpee on the other side.

Common mistakes

Clipping the bar with tired feet: jump higher than proud. Landing on the plates' edge: clear the whole bar zone. Stepping over when the standard is a jump: pick one standard and hold it.

Breathing

Exhale on the push-up and the jump.
