The Next Challenge has Arrived!

Goal for 2015:

Beat This Guy and Own a Guinness World Record:
Most Burpee Back Flips in One Minute


Training for this started back when I was 9 years old and learned my first Standing back tuck.    I've been doing them ever since and methodically training to be able to always do back flips.

I have focused much of my training on Explosive movements such as Box Jumps, Jumping Rope, Sprints, Power Cleans, weighted Squat Jumps etc.  I have been doing these movements for many years to keep the muscles going.  abs and core is also a huge part of the training regimen.  people do not realize how much ab strength and core work it takes to throw standing back tucks.  It's crucial!  I don't have much of a vertical leap, but I have flexible hips, explosive power out of the gate, a strong core, and the knowledge of how to get around.

My Current Training is More Hyper focused on being able to go Solid for a minute without fatigue.  I don't want to just break the record... I want to destroy it!  I want to make it so the next time someone thinks of attempting it, they realize they simply cannot do it.

Crossfit, Sprints, Cardio and losing a few pounds are my main focus right now.
