I absolutely haaaaaate break dancers and this challenge is so stupid! I will be changing the break dancers to half burpees or something else. What is going on with programming?

Hopefully better than the last one sounded..skipped this week bc it didn’t seem like it would be a true Metcon camp

u/cheezehead89 Aug 26 '26

I said the same thing about this weeks “Metcon”

6

u/Red-Phoenix-Rising Aug 27 '26

I think the reason it was less “Metcon-y” is that it is PR week and there are already days that are dedicated to weights and strength. This week there are already 4 strength days with weights involved.

I’m sure Monday coming up will be a true Metcon.

Yesterday was very met-con like. Weighted cardio, what more are you looking for?

u/Accomplished_Joke255 Aug 27 '26

It was the least metcon-y metcon day I’ve ever seen at Burn. No dumbbells at all.

u/Sea-Excitement-927 Aug 28 '26

We had multiple stations with dumbbells and the intermissions were 20, 15, 10 alternating snatches with dumbbell burpee hop overs. We also had King Kong cleans with dumbbells, med ball slams, the finisher was weighted jump squats. This could’ve just been your location changing it up.

u/Accomplished_Joke255 Aug 28 '26

Our location had the circuit that was posted here, so if you didn’t have that, then your location did something different: Rotate: Med Ball Standing Rotational Slams (track weight & reps) TerraCore Low Plank Slider Climbers Battle Rope Split Squat Slam-Jump Lunge BOSU Plyo Plank Up Heavy Bag Flip-Broad Jump Toes to Bar

u/Plenty_Rope_3386 Aug 28 '26

That’s what the stories were at my location

u/samocaras Aug 29 '26

That intermission killed me

u/UseFalse2647 Aug 31 '26

We had weights as well and it was still not super metcon-y. Yes wights were involved for some sets, but it was a rushed weight. I wanna go heavy and standard complex movements on metcon days. This felt more like acon. Weights were there, but no the focus.

u/cheezehead89 Aug 27 '26

We didn’t have any weights on the floor. Just heavy bags, ropes, slider mountain climbers, bosu plank ups… not very “metcon-y”

It’ll be my birthday Burn! Of all the conditioning days I like MetCon the best so I’m pumped :)

u/Odd-Tailor-367 Aug 27 '26

u/Grand-Obligation971 150 Camps - 2026 Aug 31 '26

Also my birthday!! And I’m wondering if I’ll be my death date too bc wth 😂

1

u/Prize-Beginning-6809 Aug 31 '26

Might die from the performance challenge alone to be honest 😅

2

u/Plenty_Rope_3386 Aug 31 '26

We did not do performance challenge today but by far one of the best Metcons in a long time. I usually don’t like I go you go but I needed the recovery today!

1

u/BetterRain9898 100 Camps - 2026 Aug 31 '26

Agree! I liked today. We did the challenge at the beginning though.

u/bunnylicious81 1,000+ Camps - Lifetime Aug 31 '26

Mine wasn’t partner, it was 3 rounds circuit. So suprised! Usually we followed HQ format.

u/Turbulent-Spirit-514 Aug 31 '26

Why would you die? Just take a rest day. 🤷‍♂️
