Agreed. Let's get em!0 -
I like them and I like to add a single push up before I jump back up... If I could do back flips I would do those too..

I was thinking of you the whole time I was reading this post! LOL0 -
They are also called log belly rolls, They do suck, I can handle doing them for 2 minutes in one workout...but twice in one workout (Tough Mudder) Sucks big time! We used to do a version called Squat Thrusts in Martial Arts...but that was back when I was YOUNG.0

I'm going to have to give these a whirl.0

Burpees are hard and effective - a buddy of mine that i work out with all the time find the burpee really hard on his lower back. I know one gym that has banned the burpee because it not typically done properly and then it can be an issue for your back. At 20 i would have been more of a fan of the burpee than i am at 43!0

Being a CFer, burpees are a part of a lot of workouts so......I thank you for whoever "invented" because as bad as they make you feel during and after doing them they have helped me with other things(endurance, push-ups, air squats,etc.)0

I have a love hate relationship with burpees. If you want a killer workout try doing tabata burpees.

These sound like the "squat thrusts" we did in high school.
Yeah, mix Between those and the "Up Downs" we did during football practice.0 -
I haven't done Burpees since secondary school when our PE teacher :devil: (who was pure evil) used to make us do them after lunch :sick:
This was the same guy that would wait for a good ground frost before getting us to play rugby and when it was hammering with rain go for a cross country run that was really 'cross country' over (or in reality through) streams etc.

They are very demanding on the lower back if you use incorrect form and sag, but how do people expect to get stronger, healthier backs if they just ban training them?0 -
I hate them but they are so effective.:mad:
Which is what some people want...0 -
