100 burpees Challenge!

[The Hulk]

Bump to this thread, only because I did some burpees today...

Got 50 out in 4 mins 35 sec, which included 5 sets x 5 reps of 125kg deadlifts.
So I'm guessing I could knock out 100 in under 7 mins.

You'll be the MAN if you could knock 100 in under 7!

I got to 65 in about 5 minutes and I was completely gassed, i literally couldnt walk home. I reckon the following 35 would have taken atleast 10 minutes.

That means you're quite normal (like me) Beertank. The initial stage looks very rosy and really raises one's hopes. Then when the fatigue sets in; the breaks take longer and the reps become less! No wonder the last 50 take a lot longer to do than the initial ones.

Hi everyone, in the "you tube clip" in the first post, the guy doing the burpees would be considered to be cheating.

I learnt burpees in the army, each movement is a distinct movement. (By army standards they don't count as proper burpees).
So, with the push up, you must lock your arms before moving the legs.
The man in the clip was bringing his legs up before the push up was complete, momentum.

And you really must jump as high as you can ever single time.

I'm not being picky I just mentioned it "FYI".

No matter how you do them there are some really good times there.
Well done to you, I've some catching up to do

Mike.

Mike,

The first time I did the 100; my jump was great in the beginning stages. Then as the reps went on, no matter how hard I tried to jump up high...high became few inches...! I felt my bodyweight had just increased by 50kg.

But I do hear you Mike; it would be great if everyone (including myself) could do 100 all the way like the man in that clip. It's not lack of trying; but just dying!!!

Good job there.
Although I think you would get a better result scheduling your reps, rather than going "all out".

Like do 15 in the first minute, should take about 30 seconds, then take 30 seconds rest and do 15 in the 2nd minute, then about 30 seconds rest again, etc.
So start at every minute for 15 reps, that will get you 60 in about 3 1/2 minutes.
Then just do 10 every minute after that, or whatever you can handle.
This should get your time down to 7 1/2 minutes.

Good Morning Hulk,

Have I missed your time somewhere along the way mate? I haven't got your name on the first page; or are you not doing this? 71/2 minutes is another super time...have you done that? Thank you.

Hi Fadi,

I have not done 100 burpees.
Most I have done is 50, that was last night, supersetted with deadlifts.
I've only ever done them a few times before, so not advanced at it.

Last night I did 5 deadlifts 125kg (hamstring currently injured) then 10 burpees for 5 sets starting every minute.
Finished in 4 mins 35 seconds.

So if I replace the deadlifts (which were hard for me) with burpees, I would have done 75 reps in 4 mins 35 seconds, maybe slightly longer.
So to do 25 more, don't see why I couldn't knock them off in 3 mins or so.

I will get around to doing 100 just to see a real time, not just speculating.

Wow, nice workout Hulk. I'm guessing you're all better from your injury now?

 

[The Hulk]

Thanks Katie,

Still not over it, but it's much better now thanks.
Have you been down to SSAS lately?

 

[katie]

Sadly have been studying day and night for the past 2 weeks

Exams are over soon so I will be there in a flash.

Thanks mate,

I aim for 15 every minute, gives me about 20 seconds recovery, my threashold seems to be around 8 mins, my jumps become loaded, pauses begin at the push ups, although recently I have not been physically fatiguing (prob do to slightly less body weight) as fast, but cardio endurance is my hurdle.. thanks for the tips. Sunday morning ill put it to the board!

Fadi... im working on leaving my current time in the dust!!

3 x times a week, thats heaps for me, otherwise i will loose too much of the wrong thing too fast.

Modo, I know exactly what you meant by

on the non training days

I'd never consider burpees as "non training"...!

But as I've said, I know what you meant.
