Why are burpees becoming so popular? Srs wtf

They literally accomplish nothing.

Want cardio? Go jogging or biking.

Want calisthenic style workout without the weird fukked up postural hemodynamics?

Do mountain climbers + pushups

Whats up with the burpee craze, people are such sheep / bandwagon hoppers

Burpees are legit OP. Not in the crossfit sense of *******ry burpees where you flop to the ground like a fish. But a well performed burpee with the squat thrust + push-up + jump is legit.

??? You been hiding under a rock my boy?

They have been pretty popular for decades. They have had different names over the years. Also, they are great for conditioning. We used to do hundreds of them in some wrestling practices (punishment if the coach/s were pissed off).

Thats fine, that was more probably diet. Using it as a finisher is whatever. But burpees as a exclusive workout. - ridiculous

So wrong. Modern game is all about exploiting the fold and stacking the defensive line. If you're on the ground you're out of all facets of play legally.


Also everybody has been doing Burpees over opies mum for years. Not a new craze.

Want a high intensity full body exercise to include in a HIIT routine- use burpees. In a gym or space without room of sprints/shuttle runs? Certainly plenty of good uses for burpees.

Properly executed burpees are great. I doubt you can do more then 20 without your form/intensity breaking down.

eh, while I agree it seems to be the new fitness craze and most are performing them incorrectly, when performed correctly they're of great benefit. Think about all the muscles used and used in a fast twitch environment. you're squatting doing a push up, and jumping all in "one" movement. For bodybuilders it's not great. For functional strength and athletes though, its one of the better exercises possible

This.
They've been around since the 30s or 40s, and used in US fitness tests during WW2.
