I see this as a game. I did it just to see how fit I was. Where as crossfit is a continuing routine.
IMO, Nothing wrong with crossfit, depending on your goals.
Thanks Fadi
So you're all doing a metabolically conditioning workout for time, great.
Yet people hate on crossfit? Is it just because the above has a brand name?

Is that a question, if so, what do you mean by it and who is it addressed to?Yet people hate on crossfit?
I'm confused about your confusion!confused.jpg
I used to crossfit, and I think it's awesome if it fits your goals (it used to fit mine), those goals being well rounded fitness. It either amuses or confuses me that people hate crossfit, let love challenges like this one which is essentially the same thing. Crossfit is a challenge every day - be it burpees for time, or a mix of say powercleans and pullups. It's good fun to race other people. And it's even better when combined with a strength program. I combined it with Wendler 5-3-1 with great results, but now I'm following more sport specific programming (State Basketball).Is there something bothering you Sir, if so what is it?

Now, have you given the burpees a go?
Take care.

I've done it before when it was one of the crossfit WOD's, I'd have to check my journal for time - probably about 10ish.
Sorry if i took the thread off topic
Hey Fadi,
I only stumbled apon this thread a few days ago and gave the 100 burpies challenge ago after work last night with a couple of mates. I managed to get the 100 in 8min 23sec's but it seems to be a pretty short time given the average times on this forum. Even though i felt like dieing after 60 !
This makes me question if i had good form or not ? I'll give it another crack tomorrow and see if the times compare.
Thanks for the challenge !!
Hello there,
For the form that I'm after, please refer back to the original post where the man is performing the burpees on the grass. I await for your next result numbers before I include you in with the other Champs on here.
Eight minutes is one hell of a time, but (say) the form was not quite on the money and you end up with (say) a 10 minutes/100 burpees, it would still be one mighty effort Champ.
Thank you for your kind words back at the introduction and please feel right at home here on Ausbb. Welcome.
Fadi.
Didi my first ever Burpees yesterday...100 of them
Took me 19:20 but I was just happy to complete them, now i have something to beat!
Thanks to redog for pushing me the last little bit...(i wanted to give up at 71)
Ok so went back and completed the burpies challenge again twice this time with a huge focus on my form through out,
once just before christmas with a time of 9min 43sec
and once again last night with a time of 9min 24sec.
Although this exercise completely zaps you of energy your left feeling really good afterwards, love it !
Cheers,
Shane
Well done on a mighty effort D1cko. I believe you have found a good friend in Shane. Wish you both greater things to come.Didi my first ever Burpees yesterday...100 of them

Hey fadi, anyone else
Trying to cut atm, weight isn't really dropping yet i have dropped food a bit. But i don't want to drop food any further as i don't want to go any lower.
Would adding 100 burpees in 3 times a week on my off days from 4 day gym assist much with fat loss? And try beat my time every session? 10 minutes wont seem like a lot of cardio..
Bravo! You've been added to the list of Champions. Awesome time indeed!Had another go today down on the oval and managed to do it in 9min 33s so im stoked i dropped over a minute
