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.<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>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> -
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

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?

Yeah I'm keen to try and crack a hundy in a good time. The way I do them at the moment though I crack 50 in no time at all then after that even crawling up the stairs let alone ANOTHER FUCKEN BURPEE doesn't bear thinking about. Off the top of my head 3 minutes per 50 could be an aim but as I said above the moment I actually stopped for a couple of second that would be it for me......
-
<p>I've done a hundy a number of times, but usually do 15-20 and then a 10-15 sec break before starting again, so I guess it was about 8 or 9 mins in total?? <span style="font-size:10px;">Or maybe 45 mins, not quite sure TBH....</span></p>

Diligently smashing these out every weekday morning so essentially at the moment my cardio save for a few walks up the hill to the car every now and again takes less than 2 minutes each day. Best for 50 is 1:42 according to my not quite 100% reliable timer ( my crap cellphone ). They've gotta be good for me right ? getting up the fucken stairs afterwards is becoming marginally easier ( ie I crawl a tiny bit faster ).

<p>Wicked. Wonder when the kids will reset your alarm for 2am so they can watch dad fling himself from bed into a frenzy of burpees - now that'd be a funny video! </p>
