Hi

I first encounterd this workout at Davies, it's em fun!

Do one burpee the first minute two the second and so on, burpees are without pressup and have small jump when standing.

Did this with the missus the other day, got to 13 minutes missus got 9.

I like:

20 burpees, with pressup and jumping clap at one end of a training space, walk to other end and do 19, walk back do 18...
right down to 1.

For time.

(My nausea normally passes by the 12 burpee set)

Dude, U want death by Burpee..... do this...........FUBAR 2
"The idiots are self regarding consumer slaves oblivious to the paradox of their uniform individuality. They sculpt their hair to casual perfection, they wear their waistbands below their balls. They babble into hand-held twit machines about that cool e-mail of the woman being bummed by a wolf. Their cool friend made it. He's an idiot too. Welcome to the age of stupidity, hail the rise of the idiots!"

Charlie Brooker & Chris Morris.

"Don't get hung up on the stopwatch or times, or even weight lifted, think about technique, technique, technique and listening to your body. You will not perform better every session and that is set in stone. Test your self every month keep a written journal not just a forum, a place where you can keep personal notes that you can read to motivate yourself. Don't compare yourself to others when you are working out and likewise do not think that you are already fit as fcuk!!! As someone will always be in front and behind you, ultimate confidence in your abilities yes, but arrogance no, there is a fine line.
But most of all do the things you hate above the things you like or are good at, this will make you a better athlete. Save the things you like for recreational sessions. But ultimately enjoy it, even when you hate it! And finally remember the mind will always give in before the body!"

Here endeth the lesson.

Haha...yes that one was fun... :unsure:

Buster, nice one, done it with pull-ups, press-ups etc but never with burpees strangely.

Will give it a shot soon and post up.

Just checked out that FUBAR 2 workout today. It's insane, to say the least! Fair play to Mark, Steve and Chet for completing it. I think I'd probably die.

Lets face it, you'll pass out before you die.

I do this with my guys on a regular basis - our record is 25 rounds plus a few extras ( burpee with no press up but with jump and clap)

What's a gold standard burpee? Do I even want to know?

I do the bog standard press up / tuck jump variety and they are painful

that'll do - push up and jump & clap is the norm
