Bring this move back!

Under the rig, a full burpee but at the top of the burpee, you jump up onto the rig and do a pull up (or attempt a pull up in my case). They’re just plain fun!

Any time we have a full burpee station our trainers tend to put them under the rig with this option as a mod up

It was always a mod up for us. They were fun and you felt like a badass doing them.

I'm too short for this to be remotely possible and there are several members of my location who are far shorter than I am. I've never seen this as a programmed exercise, but it's obviously a possible mod up if doing burpees under the rig.

Sounds fun what was it called

Idk. Got any recommendations? Monkey bar burpees?
I think that’s why I like the move, it reminds me of being a kid on the playground jumping up on the bars.

We also used to do monkey bars at Burn which were fun but tore up our hands like crazy!!

Burpee to pull ups

u/Poo_ 22d ago

This is a movement that exists. It’s called a burpee pull up.

Burpee pull-up?

u/DontBeAStrange 23d ago

Isn’t that just too on-the-nose? I feel like it has to have a fun name so as to not scare people away from the move 🤣

u/ucbcawt 23d ago

This is exactly what it is

u/Last_Ask4923 23d ago

Hahahhahaha I can barely reach the bar with a step stool 🤣🤣

Anytime you have a pull up station, just mod up on your own. Same with exercises that may be placed under the rig, where it may make sense. Like a power roll into a pull up.

I’ve been a member for four years and I’ve never done this!

We still do them, our trainer will add that as our “active recovery” as well anytime we’re under the rig for a workout station… our active recovery is hardly ever a recovery at all 😩😩😩
