Burpee Challenge ( Thanks NTA )
-
4 days, 6 hours, 32 mins. Not bad.
-
S on you jump do the hands meet at the top like a star jump? And no push up part?
-
Correct. As I've mentioned I don't personally do the push up part due to not wanting to overtrain ( at least thats the excuse I use, I figure I do enough other pushing type exercises )<br />
<br />
First 30 or so are a breeze, last 20 not so much......didn't even have time to build up a sweat despite the morning being pretty warm but legs barely got me up the stairs and lungs completely bursting...... -

My flatmate did 300 the other day. It was for a free ticket to a Mudder event and she did it just for the hell of it. No warm up. That includes the full press-up. It certainly was something!!!<br />

Farrrrrrrrrrrkkkkk, how long did that take ? -
I can't remember. She downloaded the cadence wich was 4 seconds I think and she wasn't allowed to fall out of cadence (Not alllowed to go faster or slower) So I guess I can remember. Circa 4sx 300 = 20 minutes.<br />
<br />
We recorded it and she actually did 304. If you met her, she doesn't look like a really fit athelete. Just has immense willpower with her genreal fitness. She is quite active -

Ah ok, so she was doing them slower than I was then. My effort definitely more of a sprint which if I could keep it up would have meant I did em in 12 or so minutes ( which if I tried would result in me dying first ).<br />
<br />
But hey, I'm sounding churlish, 304 is a fantastic effort. That is seriously fit as fuck. -
And you don't do the full Press-up, ya puss! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

I have my reasons brudda, don't wanna undo all my awesome benching and dipping work ( he said shiftily <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/eusa_whistle.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whistle:' /> )

Holy shitballs Hooroo, your flatmate must be a machine. 300 full burpees including starjump & pressup... I'd be challengeing M4L's time.<br />
<br />
The 50 straight without pressup sounds like something worth a go. I'll post my time once I've tried it. -

It's a sprint MR, not a marathon...... -
2:41. Out of the blocks like a dog shot in the arse before fading like the big girls flowery blouse that everybody knows I am.<br />
<br />
Was 25 down at about 57 seconds... then had to have a breather and it was set of about 7 or 8 from then on. Last 10 took me 41 seconds, I was completely blown.<br />
<br />
Defo room for improvement. Did enjoy the little burst though, I dont do much (well any, actually) sprint work. -
Good first up from you there MR, I'm of the school of thought that shorter intense cardio is more beneficial than longer stuff. I mean tell a casual observer that ya only doing a few minutes and they will have a go....until they try it and just about pass out that is.<br />
<br />
Another go tomorrow, hoping to crack the 2 minute mark.....I simply can't do 50 in a row ( yet ) at the pace I was doing so the trick is to shorten the rest period by 15 or so seconds. I'm dreading it already. -
what I did today took around 25 mins, but sweat was pouring off me, so much so that it stings my eyes on the planks at the end...short sharp is how I like it, and with the kids about certainly dont have time for long sessions!
