Workout Description

AMRAP with a partner in 7 minutes: Synchronized Bar-Facing Burpees Both athletes' chests must touch the floor together. Each synchronized Burpee counts as one team rep.

Why This Workout Is Hard

The movement is simple, but seven uninterrupted minutes of synchronized Bar-Facing Burpees create high metabolic demand and punish every timing error.

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

Stamina (8/10): Stamina reflects the repeated submaximal work and resistance to local fatigue in seven minutes of synchronized Bar-Facing Burpees.
Speed (8/10): Speed reflects cycle rate, transitions, and the value of moving quickly through seven minutes of synchronized Bar-Facing Burpees.
Endurance (7/10): Endurance reflects the sustained breathing and cardiovascular demand of seven minutes of synchronized Bar-Facing Burpees.
Power (6/10): Power reflects the need for forceful, fast contractions while completing seven minutes of synchronized Bar-Facing Burpees.
Flexibility (3/10): Flexibility reflects the usable range of motion needed to perform seven minutes of synchronized Bar-Facing Burpees safely and efficiently.
Strength (2/10): Strength reflects the absolute force and loading requirement of seven minutes of synchronized Bar-Facing Burpees.

Scaling Options

Allow the official scaled step-back and step-over standard while keeping partners synchronized for the full seven minutes.

Scaling Explanation

Stepping reduces impact and cycle demand without removing the defining synchronization requirement or changing the score.

Intended Stimulus

A seven-minute synchronized conditioning test. Partners should hold a repeatable cadence from the start and avoid pauses caused by mismatched floor or jump timing.

Coach Insight

Agree on a verbal or visual cadence before starting. Face each other if space permits and match the slower partner's breathing rhythm rather than surging early.

Benchmark Notes

Each synchronized Burpee counts once. L5 is 62 reps, or 8.9 per minute; L10 is 102 reps, or 14.6 per minute with two athletes maintaining the same cycle.

Modality Profile

The workout is entirely a bodyweight gymnastics movement with no monostructural station or external load.
