100 burpees Challenge!

I used to do a lot of burpees.
I would approach this Challenge in sets of ten and one minute rest between each one. Should get it done easily under twenty mins. Then gradually break that rest time down to 30 seconds.

Thats still massive, well done.

Theres some info on strength villain about getting it down to 5 mins (300 secs = 3 sec each). Basically involves training with small sets (eg a few sets of 10 or 20 a day) until can reach 3 second each then increasing the set size gradually.

Paddy, I've added you to the list Sir. 8:50 is just as incredible a time.

My stomach and legs are killing me from a big session of squats, and I'm not sure if I can count to 100, but dammit, I will do this!
 
Starting reading thread, then realised there was 47 pages.

Will try this!

Muscles worked: Chest, shoulders, triceps, lats, abs, legs?
 
Lungs will be my archilles. Most definately. Most ive ever done is 50. That was superset with pullups. In 5's. Lol. Took forever.
 
I got to 20 and felt like I was about to keel over and die. What is this sorcery!!! I think I need to learn to pace myself :(
 
I started doing burpees for the first time ever last week. Just doing 10x10 at the moment. First attempt 27m, then 26m, then 20m and 19m today. I think I should be able to get it down to 12.5 by the end of the month. Addicted to them already.
 
Looking forward to giving this a crack. I've done as many burpees as possible in 7mins before and scored 102, that was jumping and touching a target 15cm above your reach. Are there any rules for this? Chest and hips to touch the ground, any height for the jump?

Cheers
