Kettlebell Quick and the Dead alternative exercises

There was actually a StrongFirst post with burpees a while back. Lots of text to go with it to explain how it can be like Q&D. I think it goes along with this article How to Train Against A Virus which contains the same video.

I think you still face the same problem as C+J that fatigue is too spread out. And I think in practice you'd find that the push up and squat jump both lose power compared to when done separately. It seems to me like it might be very effective for conditioning, but maybe less so for power.

That seems like a fair assessment!

Hey, thanks! I remember reading that article, and I hadn’t even thought of that at the time that I was heading out.
