CrossFit Burpee Demo

Are you suppose to jump as high as you can?

I've watched many crossfit videos with burpees, and they really seem like slight "hops" to me.

Can someone explain to me?

Do you jump as high as you possibly can with explosive strength?

Or is it a slight hop, and trying to immediately get back into the "squat, hands down" and "plank" position?

women actually dont need to do pushups on their knees... a leading female fitness instructor told me this... in karate we always let them kneel in a push up... not anymore... they are just as capable as males to do a push up...lol

@tobey099

yeah, because if you can't do something perfectly the first time, you really shouldn't try at all. that's how fitness works, right?

muscle-up burpees *puke*

[engcelot]

Burpees are so hard!! So much harder than they look, crossfits best movement imo.

[XdeadeyesniperX]

tht guy is a wimp he didnt do a full back flip off

[imlame]

In regards to the chest touching the full, does it have to be like a pushup (all the pressure on arms and legs)? Or is it OK to rest your chest on the floor for a moment?

[toby099]

are women seriously that weak they cant even do a full push up, go back to the couch if you cant do a full fucking pushup

@toby099

If that woman can do muscleups then I would bet money she can do more pushups than you can.

[StrainXv]

@toby099 depends on the women, some of them are machines when it comes to push up's, others not so much.

Just started crossfit - what would we do without youtube - and this video helps me alot to know how to do a burpee. Thanks!

Love burpies!

[bad33inltz]

Okay, I am officially confused on correct burpee form. I see some demos where you squat, hands hit floor, then feet kick back to plank, pushup, feet kick back to squat position, and jump. I see others where people just kind of "throw themselves" to the floor (IE: feet kick back to plank from upright position before hands touch the floor) pushup, kick back in and jump.

Which is correct, or are both acceptable?

[PiratePowell]

the first one is considered correct form, those other people are lazy or misinformed. :)

[breakoutworkout]

@bad33inltz both....depends on what the "rules" are. Sometimes its as simple as "standing to chest and legs to deck to jumping/clap overhead" which leaves a lot of room for interpretation.

[NavyNate123]

@bad33inltz What I have learned through crossfitting over the last 5 years is that regardless of exactness, you're still moving the same amount of weight the same amount of distance. The two things that are requirements of a burpee, chest hits the deck, jump as high as possible.

[KrazyMEXican105]

@bad33inltz the first one is the correct one :)
