    Sweet! I've never had one specifically for me. Although, I am sure I've been partial inspiration for a few. :laugh:

    55?! Holy shiznit. You must go like the proverbial off a shovel!

    I had a burpee variation in my workout today (plank jack at the bottom), it was four 20 second intervals with 10 seconds between. I got 4 in each interval, so 16. Extrapolate x 3 would be 48 but I strongly suspect I'd only do about half because exhaustion and sloppy. Maybe 30 at a push. And without push up.

    Still not going to actually try though because 3 minutes of burpees would be horrible.

    Well, it took me about 10.5 minutes to do 100 burpees, so I guess that puts me at 28 in 3 minutes. Meh.
    (Note – for burpees I kind of fall to the ground/chest, rather than do a slow, controlled push-up. If I had to do a REAL push-up, then I could do maybe…. 2?)

    I totally didn't remember that I was planning on doing this until I was finishing my circuit. I was smoked and running late at that point. My bad. Tomorrow.

    If it's true that a push-up is roughly equivalent to benching 60% of bodyweight, then I'm at least two months away from being able to do even one good form burpee.

    I do sets of 10-six counts w/2 additional exercises each set; the burpees take about 45 seconds. The key is constant movement - THATs what will wear your @$$ out.

    I am officially doing the nap challenge stating today... I will get the one burpee done sometime today.

    I might even try my day 1 nap challenge to include day 1 through day 15 and see how that goes.. But only one burpee though, I might exhaust myself and have to repeat the nap cycle.

    I've never done 3 mins max burpees before, but I've tested 7 mins max burpees before and got 103, and 1 minute max burpees and got 19. I'd like to do this challenge, but would prob prefer to do the 7 minute one again to try and beat my old score. Totally agree that lifting, running, etc should form parts of your all-round regime and that burpees are in no way the definitive marker, even though they're my fave!
    The 1 minute max I do every few weeks out of interest. Perhaps I'll hold out on doing the 3 min challenge until the OP has posted his score ;)
