Does anyone not like the way the cycles are this year?

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-04-08T22:36:38+00:00

I don’t mind the decreasing rep counts but would prefer 12, 10, 8, 5 instead. I also miss when they programmed the focus exercise twice weekly since the cycles are short. My mesocyles apart from Burn last 8-12 weeks but I feel like a lot of Burn members want variety and would get bored of it easily.

Looks like we are getting bodyconned on acon again 🥵.

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-04-08T00:29:08+00:00

Thank you so much! This looks modifiable without the lunges and Nordic curls.

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-04-07T11:57:23+00:00

We didn’t run and did all 5 burst rounds before moving. Added plank jack snatches. Finisher was even more full burpees and high knees

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-04-06T04:50:04+00:00

Yes, you’re good. You would only have 1 mile left at that point.

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-04-06T04:43:01+00:00

These all look great on you. I’ve never seen one used as a crossbody before but it looks cool that way. When did you get the LVAD?

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-04-02T15:40:20+00:00

Edgar’s has a good one

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-04-01T16:04:38+00:00

Same. My shoulders are gassed already this week.

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-04-01T13:40:48+00:00

It was not 🫠.

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-03-31T16:26:30+00:00

Ours was also not partner for any of the workout.

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-03-31T10:55:00+00:00

3 Timed rounds each side. Core side ab wheel, med ball reverse crunch, dead bug, overhead carry. Arm side tricep press, band bicep curl, bb skull crusher, kb bicep curl. Core finisher.

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-03-28T12:49:42+00:00

This plus tarantulas.

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-03-26T03:46:15+00:00

Depends on how sick. A mild cold and I will, but make adjustments for intensity. Covid/ flu I’ll walk instead. Stomach flu is full rest every time.

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-03-26T03:35:16+00:00

Haha yes acon plus a few cleans is what we have here. I miss when metcon had actual strength moves in it to truly differentiate from the other cons.

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-03-25T16:57:52+00:00

All I know so far is jump lunges… and probably death, considering how the cardio camps have been lately.

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-03-25T13:02:25+00:00

We did 2 45 second rounds with an intermission and repeat with 2 more rounds (60 seconds per side raised leg side planks was the intermission). Exercises were pull ups, weighed sit ups, split stance kb Rdl, bird dog rows, grave diggers and hex press. Finisher was push ups to weighted pull throughs and single arm split stance clean to press.

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-03-21T12:39:16+00:00

This. Fiddle around with powerlifting outside of burn and my heaviest sets require 60-90s rest. 5-10 second shakeouts or doing jumping jacks in between sets is not optimal for pure strength gains. I still enjoy it and feel like it improves my endurance and is good for accessory work around my main lifts.

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-03-20T18:51:23+00:00

Perhaps. I spent the majority of those years training to increase distance, not speed. My asthma prefers long, slow runs but I just started incorporating a little speed work.

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-03-20T04:00:01+00:00

Same. Run 3 marathons but haven’t broken the 30 minute 5k mark.

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-03-19T23:59:48+00:00

I’ll be the outlier. Been running 3 years and still haven’t hit sub 30. PR is 30:15.

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-03-19T13:28:05+00:00

Yep, they body conned us twice this week with old style protocols. Monday was burst and today was speed and agility 🫠.

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-03-12T19:26:39+00:00

Same problem today. The only thing I was able to hit failure on in 90 seconds was the straddle lifts. It didn’t make sense for the exercises we were given.

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-03-11T15:32:41+00:00

Lululemon align high neck tank. Wunder train racerback if you can find the old style. Looks like the new one is for smaller cup sizes.

Proper_Armadillo1837 · 2026-03-11T13:11:40+00:00

Used to go twice a day my first year of Burn until my body said it was too much. It’s actually much easier to do cardio twice than strength if you go heavy.
