100 Burpee Challenge

nevermind. i just did 5 sets of 20. more than nine minutes, but i barely do burpies lol. good workout though!

 

Things like the 100 burpee challenge are more of a benchmark to gauge progression, not something you should be doing a few times a week. Maybe a few times a year.

 

What are the rules? Do I need to do 100 straight through? Can i break this into sets?

 

Start a stopwatch or whatever and do 100 burpess as fast as possible, simple as.

 

Just Done this today it's a killer done it in 8 mims 48secs I don't think I can beat that by much to be honest as it takes alot of you

If you don't film it, it never happend tbh.

 

What are the benefits of doing this?

 

Lots....

You can nail 3 point shots, while people are shooting at you.
You can jump from behind bushes and disappear repeatedly.
Catch flower bouquets at weddings...

The possibilities are endless.

Seriously though, it's just a conditioning exercise that builds your cardio and muscle endurance - effective cuz you engage a lot of muscles in a single burpee, which makes doing many burpees very hard to do. Therefore, doing 100 and timing it, is a good indicator of how well conditioned you are.

 

There are various ways burpees can be done. I guess we're not all on the same page.
The way we do them is a complete squat down, onto a push up and finish with a squad jump. Keeping proper form, fast and explosive.

 

Good ol Crossfit, always over-thinking every movement to make it easier instead of just doing it like everyone else.

I've always done a pushup during a burpeee, now these idiots make it look like there's a back extension involved into a jump. Hilarious.

 

:huh what a strange burpee technique, my back hurt watching this
but anyway I'll try the challenge this week
