I can see the strength gain part but I feel it certainly helps when you run out of gas. I’m a bigger athleye too and can only do so many, snaking helps & I do find it more efficient when I’m tired. I actually learned the technique at an L1 seminar so I know not everyone is anti-snaking

i agree that it helps when you run out of gas and you're right not everyone is anti-snaking. if the only way you can do burpees is by snaking go for it but i think in a training environment you need to use as close to perfect technique as you can and it pays off in the long run.
I may have had different trainers at mine but its been 3 years since i've attended the L1

If you want to be a faster burpee person you gotta pop em up

My problem w a lot of programming is that they use high numbers of reps for things like burpees

You give me 10 burpees, I move pretty good and get better

You put a rep sequence of 27-21-15-9 and I start snaking and walking em up to keep moving. By the time you are at 15 it is hard to revert back to a regular burpee.

As a bigger guy that is just my burden I suppose. I could always pass on those kolaches
