I just whacked out 15 and decided to stop. My shoulders and arms were not liking it, I need to rest them so I can hammer tham again tomorrow night. One day when I am feeling fresh I'll give this a go. Unfortunately that won't be happening this weekend.
Great idea Fadi!
I'm going to incorporate that for my cardio, i'll get my fiancee on it too.
I have my clients do burpees during my cardio sessions.
Jesse, my younger son, 15, managed 25 burpees in 48 seconds. And thats with a VERY high jump, he wins the vertical leap comp at his school every year in PE.
lol Will do, though he is going to give me a strange look.
He has been doing burpees since he was 10. I have always had the basketball team I coach do them.
Maybe its the secret of our success. We have won the last 3 A Grade grand finals in U16, this year we have gone up to U18, even though the boys are 15/16yo.
We play the grand final on the 20th. I think we have won 8 grand finals in all since under 10.
Burpees may be the answer to Carltons stupid last quarter fade out lol
So I am doing 5x5 basic compound lifts, to get stronger for rugby and basketball season next year, If i read Fadi's post correctly before, you suggested not to do 100 burpees?
Surely I can do them on my cardio days/off days.
I do 5x5, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Surely I can do burpees on thursday and saturday?
BTW I am overwieght and I was hoping the burpees might up my fat loss, which is going well so far, lost about 7 kilos, but gone from benching 17kg dumbells to 100 kilo BB.
Help. Does that make sense?
Hi Beer,
Are you saying that I had said not to do 100 burpees? Have you not seen my "lose fat/Maintain muscle" thread? Sure, over there I'm talking about speeding up your metabolism whilst working with weights to maintain muscles.
There's no harm in doing your strength workout with burpees for Rugby Beer; just don't over do it that's all (which I don't beleive you are anyway). So all power to you mate.
Fadi.
I am saying that you had said not to do 100 burpees in conjunction with 5x5 in this post Ausbb - Australian BodyBuilding - View Single Post - 100 burpees Challenge!, looking back, I guess you were talking specifically to josh the cheesegrater?
I have read your other thread there Fadi and as a fat man, I have taken that advice on board, the only thing stopping me from doing it is that your working to 30-50% of 1RM, which I feel isn't exactly what I want. I want to be stronger than all the other props in the comp and be the best, but I am not fit, I am carrying probably 15kg's too much.
You're right about me talking specifically to Josh.
And if you check the "lose fat/maintain muscle" thread again; it may be exactly what your metabolism needs Beer. Read it again for me; I know exactly how to make you stronger, but I'm more interested in some foundation first. Please read it again and if the hick up is still the "light" weights, then you can swap the burpees’ days for some low rep weight training instead.
I thank you for your comments and interest Sir.
Fadi.
How about this.
Monday - 5x5.
Tuesday - Basketball.
Wednesday - 5x5.
Thursday - Burpees.
Friday - 5x5.
Weekend - rest.
I don't feel as though that's overdoing it.
