Pacing. How you approach this depends largely on how heavy the deadlifts are for you. Taking a quick break (or two) in the sets can still give you a fast time IF you can push the burpees. When you see a piece like this, think about how long a rep of each movement takes (burpee bxjo way slower than deadlifts). This means there’s more time to be made on the burpees than on the bar (as long as you don’t get stuck). So long story short, IF the deadlifts are quite light for you THEN go unbroken and push the pace on the burpees, IF they’re somewhat heavy THEN break them up (short rests) and push the pace on the burpees.
Tips. First rep will always be the hardest in a deadlift set, don’t be alarmed if that one starts to feel heavy off the floor. On the burpees, it’s most likely faster to step up (then you can go straight into the jump) vs popping up. ALWAYS go straight back down on the burpees once you get to the other side of the box.
