We used to do 8 count push ups in the military, which were burpees with 2 push ups each rep. Probably 50 minimum.

I still do them on occasion but I did a ton of them in the Marine Corps. Very good functional exercise.

Brutal exercise especially if you do them complete with a push up and jump at the end. Most just stand up at the end.

I think I'm in pretty good condition, but burpees fucking suck and can be pretty humbling.

This is one area where I have nothing.  I'm the most inflexible person I know.

The only thing I really do that loosens up the legs well is to stand on a baseball and roll the bottom of your foot very hard.

Has a lot to do with flexibility... Same goes for any 'awkward' exercise.  Ever notice how you can be in great shape, but you try something new (hence awkward) and it kills you quick?

Burpees are awkward for most at first, but for a guy like me (tall and bad lower body flexibility), they're always going to be hard, even after practice.

Some chubby little long torso Asian kid who can literally squat atg will smoke me in a burpee competition any day, even if I could lap him in a mile race.

Some total cu nt in gym the other night stood on a swissball to do some fag made up exercise. He lost balance, rolled comically on ball, slammed head against wall and fell on ground. I am currently trying to procure the CCTV footage from gym at 20.45 GMT Fridat 30th October from gym staff to post online. You bet I made a note of it.

On topic, when done right burpees are a great exercise. In practice, mostly done half arsed in a boxercise routine, same as people paw at the punching bags after 2 mins like broken lovers in a shitty movie saying "no, no, no" and pawing at the boyfriend who cheated on them.

I did 25 down to 1 as a challenge a couple years back. I was in a shit state for a couple of days after and took the skin off my big toe (as I was wearing those twatty five finger shoes.)

Never again.

It has little to with flexibility. It's because you're fat at 6'0 275. Pull the fork out of your mouth and you'll see things change. I'm going to bed.

It's a tough conditioning exercise perfect for a wrestler, jui jitsu guy or boxer.

Burpees for me are too tough and I lost all co-ordination.

Anything more that one and I look like a fish taken out of water.

Hows the hamstring?

All he does is regurgitate training methods that others develop, whipped up with his constant lies.

Funny how bodybuilders and weightlifters don't consider it embarrasing to have no gas. How is it NOT embarrasing? How do you fuck your bitches?

Lifting weights and running around getting out of breath.

All just variations on a theme, they all work.
