Every CrossFit athlete knows about burpees. Crossfitters very often perform this exercise in combination, doing burpees with access to the horizontal bar, jumping onto a box, burpees with strength on the rings. We also suggest adopting an exercise such as Bar-Facing Burpee.

You can perform it both in the gym and at home. Of course, you probably don't have a barbell at home. In this case, an ordinary stick can be a good alternative to it. In its specificity, burpees with jumping a barbell are similar to jumping on a box, but there is one difference - the bar of a sports equipment is most often overcome by jumping sideways, and not forward. The exercise allows the athlete to work the thigh and core muscles, as well as the gluteal muscles.

Exercise technique

Burpee Barbell Jumping requires the athlete to be able to work at a very fast pace. In this case, all physical elements must be correctly performed. The technique for performing the exercise is as follows:

1. Stand at a short distance from the bar (so as not to injure yourself when jumping up). Take an emphasis lying, put your hands shoulder-width apart.
   
2. Squeeze out of the floor at a fast pace.
   
3. Get up off the floor, while bending your knees slightly. Sit down slightly and push off powerfully to jump over the bar.
   
4. Jump over the barbell. Bend your legs during the jump, you should not touch the sports equipment. Repeat the movement in the opposite direction. Perform burpee jumping over the bar several more times.

Another option for performing the exercise is jumping sideways, but then you need to take an emphasis while lying along the bar, and not in front of it.

The number of repetitions depends on your training experience. The exercise is not very difficult, so you can train to failure. Do 4 sets in one session.
