I watched that vid and tought that this could also be a cool exercise, yea. Since there is extra leg involvement.
Also you could maybe do the HIIT version with no pump burpees. Imo the pushup in the burpee is what stops a person, and that is a rest for cardio. So of you would want it to be speedy and more intense, just throw back the legs, pull em back and finish with a small jump. Cardiowise that is much harder than any pushup variation since pushups dont really require much cardio.

Youāre right mate however that style of burpee to me is like spaghetti served in a prison
A sloppy mess.
The push up increase intensity, potentially build muscle and if I want to get the ācardioā effect then there are better ways to go about it
Kick ins for example. Why not increase the pumps with a kick in between said pumps?
That gets your HR up big time and allows you to maintain quality technique.
You made a solid point, as did @antiquity, regarding high volume burpees being more of an endurance style workout which I agree with however you need to build up to that point for it to become that
The average guy is going to struggle to do a push up never mind a 1 pump. I am so conditioned to 1 pumps that I have to go full throttle just to get my HR above 130 whereas some average Joe will probably go anaerobic trying to get off the floor.

Yea, thats for sure. Most people get out of breath just doing 20 air squats.
Anyways, i started the routine you suggested. For now i did a few rounds to āfeel itā after my running, and tommorrow is overhead press day so i need my shoulders and chest fresh, but i will probably be adding rounds every day until i can feel that it doesnt tax my muscles at all, cuz i still have 4 days at the gym.
Anyways, i like the plan, i will stick to it until i can do 20 rounds i guess.
Did 1000 push ups in 51 minutes the other night
Iāve seen other guys do it faster on YT but the form tends to be sloppy with no lockout. More rapid pump style
Also did a podcast today and gave a shout out to T Nation and @T3hPwnisher as I always do. Will link it when the host uploads it
Howās @hankthetank89 getting on with that workout I gave him

Just doing it.
Takes around 4-5mins for a round. I get out of breath but my HR is around 125 - so thats a bit weird, because it feels like a lot more. Im mostly limited by shoulder pump. Since i am also doing 531 4 days a week, i am not pushing it too much so it wont impact my strenght work, but i am planning to add some rounds after strenght work also, just to build the conditioning and the ability to do high reps so that muscles are not the limiting factor.

I liked the idea of adding a squat to a burpee i saw you doing.
So i made a quick workout to condition myself to the exercises faster so im not limited by muscle pumps.
I did 10 1pump1squat burpees, 10 2pump2squat, 10 3pump3squat, 10 4pump4squat and 10 5pump5squat burpees.
My heart rate was higher for this one also, probably because more legs are involved. Anyway, i liked it. I think of trying a pyramid of this - going from 1pump1squat up to 5, and then back down to 1.
That would take like 20-30mins for me at heart rate of around 140ā¦ that would be good complete cardio variation for me.

Love it @hankthetank89 brother
Adding squats is a great way to build up that conditioning my man
You need to aim for a 30 minute session going up an burpee and squat every 5 mins
Eg
0-5 mins 1 pumps & 1 squat
5-10 2 pumps & 2 squatsā¦
25-30 6 pumps & 6 squats
This is an Iron Wolf routine which is a real gut check

My problem with this one would be that there are no required reps. I work much harder when i have a goal. I could do a 4min plank and a 4min wall sit when i needed to but you put me in those and take away the timer and dont tell me how long i must stay there, ill probably crumble after 2 mins.
With all the interval trainings that require amraps i always first test all the exercises for what my actual amrap is, write those down, ditch the interval timer and just go for total time and reps as fast as i can. That gives me the rep goal and in can also aim to finish faster.

Yea, i saw this on YouTube. I used to do this but also with v-ups and no pushup burpees, like 4 exercises by 20. Usually 5 rounds after kickboxing.
No way i could do any of that now tho, but will work towards that.
