Now I know why they're called "Burpees"

Ten rounds for time of:
12 Burpees
12 Pull-ups

41:25

I finally figured out kipping pullups on the rings! I'm totally excited about this. It DOES feel a bit like cheating, but I'll have to trust those wiser than I who say that it's ultimately better than a DH, and I certainly like finally being able to do high-volume WODs without subbing gravitron or jumping PU's.

Not sure if it's the 5x5's or not, but I've noticed my metcons feel a lot harder than they used to. It could be that I'm not subbing as much as I was, or it could be strength workouts sapping my endurance.
