Bodyweight Strong First burpee?

[the hansenator]

Is there a Strong First tutorial on burpees? I ask because the burpees shown in the article below look different than other demos I've seen so i wondered if there were details or anything to know.

As far as I am concerned, there is no dedicated tutorial yet.
As I understand it, the modifications are made to allow for maximum power output i.e. "...maximum contracture against submaximal resistance..."
The video in the article seems to be quite demonstrative of this.

It looks to me like it's done more as a hip hinge.

If there is a SF approved Burpee Program, I´d be more than interested.

@Marc The Instagram post with the video linked in the article has some parameters.



Basically 30 minutes of 1-2 reps every N seconds, where N is as long as needed to count to ~40% of a resting Counting Talk Test (big breath, then count up until you can’t). Then take 40% of that as your rest periods for 20-30 minutes.

In the comments to the article, Pavel said 1) to do them on non-lifting days (or some other “dynamic aerobic exercise”), 2) burpees are redundant if doing Q&D (go on a hike instead), 3) S&S swings 3-4 days a week is adequate “moderate aerobic activity”.

Is there a reason it is a burpee without a pushup?

The goal of this specific type of training is to be aerobic. Adding pushups would result in fatigue setting in sooner (adding more time under tension to each rep) which would run counter to the objective.

"rest between reps long enough to sustain an aerobic effort over 30 minutes"

30 minutes of burpees....

Sweet Christmas!
