Burpee Challenge ( Thanks NTA )

[Chubby13]

Feeling the legs a bit after last nights gym so might save them for Tuesday night, although I think I might do them on the bottom field away from the team haha

Just to confirm the technique. When you hit the deck does your chest have to completely touch the ground or can you hit the deck with your arms loaded to push you up?<br />

<br />
You asking me? The Crossfit standard is chest and hips hit the ground, then feet off the ground for the jump and clap behind your head. It keeps bloody changing though, but they are consistent about the chest and hips hitting the ground.

*though I was going great guns when I hit 30 in about 58 sec!!<br />

I:55 this morning, FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK. If I could keep up the pace I set initially I think a good 1:40 would be on the cards but those mere 15 seconds seem a LOOOOONG way off.a After 30 you can't help but slow down.....

[MN5]

Doing this three times a week and the times are generally round 1-55 2 minutes. Think they're definitely helping all in all which is cool.Great walking alongside someone up a hill and you can talk normally and they can't.........

Super kid at the gym did 30 strict burpees (but without the push up part) in one minute. Can't see getting many more in and still opening the hips on the up. I'll try and get him to do 50 tonight, whats the record?

[MN5]

TR cracked under a minute I think, I haven't quite managed that, best around 1:05. Is super kid quite short limbed ? I reckon that'd help......judging by that you'd assume he'd crack 2 minutes admittedly with fuck all in it !

[mariner4life]

In my little garage circuit this morning i cracked out 21 in my first minute, they were the full ones with a press up, over the course of the circuit they got progressively slower. By the 5th set i could only get out 15, just. And i was fuuuucked

[Kirwan]

He did 50 in 1.56 and looked pretty tired, last ten looked painful. He did 29 in the first minute. <br />
<br />
I don't think I'd get under 2.20 based on that, and even that might be optimistic. <br />
<br />
He's 1.78m by the way. His brother is a bit shorter and faster on burpees, so he's next on my list. <br />
<br />
Evil little workout.

Doubt mine would be seen as strict....I tried to do them properly, but as you push to do them quick, you probably do them a bit easier...?

[antipodean]

Thought I'd sit out while everyone else did them this afternoon.<br />

Yeah form or not those last ten are farkin horrendous. I still get off the ground more than those folk in antipodeans gif though <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/knuppel2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':knuppel:' />

<p>Have resurrected this thread from the grave to inform you all I did 50 in 1:43.....................</p>
<p> </p>
<p>it hurt, Very muchly.</p>

[NTA]

<p>Jeezus. I was hoping this thread would die a quiet death. Like I would in the event of an attempt at 50 burpees right now...</p>

[MN5]

<p>I'm very into something that can fuck you up in no time flat so based on that Burpees are the shizzle my nizzle.</p>

[NTA]

<p>Are you doing with a full pressup? That's the killer for me. But yeah its totally something that should be done... later...</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>nah he isnt doing the press up at all IIRC...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I incorporated sets of burpees into a workout I did week or 2 back, and man they are hard (especially as its been months since I last did them)</p>

[MN5]

<p>TR is correct, I use these mainly for the lungs/legs.....I figure I do enough other "pushing" type exercises but make sure I at least get off the ground every single rep.... </p>

[NTA]

First time trying burpees this way ie without the press up, and got 50 in 3:20. Puffing like a mofo! <br /><br />First 25 I think was about 1:20 but I've honestly forgotten it was so many oxygen molecules ago.... Form was probably ordinary too, but I definitely got off the deck on the jumps

[MN5]

My advice ? don't actually stop, keep going whilst using all your intellectual ability to count, nothing else. That way you get your body fooled into not going "hey fluffybunny, I'm fucked, let's stop this ridiculous torture...."

[NTA]

Oh trust me, I didn't WANT to stop. I started well but as soon as I hit 16 I knew I was in trouble. <br /><br />What is interesting is I coughed up some gunk which I haven't done for weeks with other exercise. So clearly it's good for that. Wonder how long it would take to do 100?
