I find burpees an excellent exercise, but I would advise against them if you are overweight. I would advise you to adjust your diet first before doing burpees.You can find documentation on roidusport.fr

They were fed a high fat diet to induce obesity? This does not sound right. What am i missing here? Sure its not high carb high fat instead?

I dropped the weight of the DBs to 35s
I went to stay consistent and I did, but I got hit hard cardio wise. I did not really warm up as I normally do and I paid the price.
I did 12 burpees and 10 thrusters each round. The first round I think I did 12 & 12, but backed off from then on. 
I took a couple minute break after the 7th round, then banged out 2 more rounds. 
I didn't even do the 10th round. I have not hit a wall like that in a LONG time. I will redo this for sure. 
I did this a few days ago and felt it in my shoulders for sure the next day.
I honestly don't do thrusters often enough. It showed. The burpees were not that bad, but I stopped when my form was off, at the end and I stand by that decision. I'll redo this and start mixing in more thrusters. I prefer to use DBs overall, but with the thruster it is way harder. The ability for the DB to not really rest on the shoulders/ clavical makes it a lot harder to explode out of the hole so to speak and puts a lot of tension on the wrists. I was shaking out my forarms from round 3 on. 
Great mix and the :30 on :30 off is always a great taxer.
I think I got: 110 Burpees and 90 or 92 thrusters. I should have easily gotten 120 & 100. Next time.

So nasty.  The DB thrusters were actually worse than the burpees, which is saying something.  Was able to get a consistent 10 burpees each round.  Thrusters started off with getting more — like 12-13 — but muscular fatigue started hitting in later rounds, so I was 9-10 by the end.  Legs were shot, but actually was having trouble pressing out at the top of the thruster.

Colin did this with me today.  He did burpees and 5# DB thrusters.  He could have handled 10’s, but we currently only have one 10# DB.  He was obviously better on the thrusters, but he even beat me on the burpees for most rounds.

I decided to use only 35 lb DBs. This was a good choice for me. I wanted to stay somewhat consistent. Thy was my main goal. 
I started and stayed consistent of:
12 burpees
10 Thrusters  
For first 7 rounds. I crashed and when my Thrusters started bonking I took a couple minutes rest and did 2 more rounds. Same reps but did only 8 Thrusters last round.
This was MUCH harder than I thought it would be. Will do this again. I felt the Thrusters more than the burpees. I probably. Only have done more burpees but wanted to stay on pace and I crashed hard after 7 rounds. Really zapped my cardio and muscles as well. Great combo. I was strict about jumping up and chest and legs on the floor. 

Simple and effective. Love the 1:1 work:rest for engine building.

"the metabolic improvements noted above occurred independent of any overall change in weight."

This is a crucial point (though, in mice!) As Dr. Robert Lustig mentioned in his DDC talk, most metabolically sick people are not obese, and some obese people are not metabolically sick. Heavier is not a synonym for sick, and thin is not the same as healthy.

Hence diet and exercise strategies should not be grouped together indiscriminately based on the assumption that whatever improves calorie balance goes.

I've got a question regarding the phase from the plank - lowering the chest to the ground - back to plank. I imagine doing the strict pushup with the spine neutral and not moving is the safest method, however I see ALOT of people coaching the method of doing the burpee as a kind of "wave" from plank to the floor back to plank. Is the "wave" more stressful for the lower back and should coaches teach the safer method? Any evidence or experience? Because alot of people can't to a regular pushup. And confronted with the "strict pushup" burpee, they simply can't do it.

Just gotta share this with y’all... yesterday marks my 2 year start of loosing weight. 2 years ago I honestly weighted in at 435 lbs.... my ultimate goal was to loose 200 lbs... well as of yesterday morning , I have met that goal and then some. I am currently sitting at 229 lbs....  I went from a 6xl shirt. To no being in a xl... a size 50 in in shorts. To a 34 in...  I got the gym 7 days a week. I have 1-2 heavy days and the rest is light and cardio. Don’t ever let someone say you can’t do something. If you put your mind to it, you can do anything you want to. I changed my life around when I went to Carowinds with my kids and couldn’t ride a single ride with them because I was too fat. It was BIG embarrassment to me and I felt ashamed for my kids. Now! I can’t stop riding rides 😂 I’m like a kid again. Thank you for reading! Hope you keep on keeping on!!! Have a great day!

I should have gone a notch lighter on thrusters. Those were killing me.

How do you do burpees fast? Each of mine takes nearly 4 seconds but they are nonstop and technically very sound (squat, kick, plank, drop, pop, jump), unrelenting. I don't get how to do them faster.

Warm-up for 190811:
GENERAL WARM-UP

2 rounds of:
45 seconds of jumping jacks
30 seconds of high knees
20 groiners
10/10 forward leg swings
45 seconds of a supported squat hold

SPECIFIC WARM-UP

Dumbbell Thruster
3 rounds of progression, performing 5 reps at each step:
- Front squat
- Push press (squat-width stance)
- Thruster with 2-sec pause upon returning to shoulders
- Cycled thrusters
*Start by using light dumbbells on the first set, increase the weight slightly on the second set, and use the intended workout weight on the third set.

Burpee
10 scapular push-ups
10 push-ups
10 6-inch vertical jumps (stop completely between reps)
10 burpees

INTENDED STIMULUS
.
This will get nasty, and it will be so productive! If you dread it, imagine you had KB swings in the mix ... that will keep you grateful. Sustained power is the name of the game today. Yesterday we were going all out each single round. We could do that because we had optimal recovery between bouts. Today we have a very different scenario. The work to rest ratio is 1:1 meaning the fatigue will compound and keeping up the pace will become harder and harder. The objective today is twofold a) commit to moving for the whole 30 seconds each time; b) find a pace you can sustain till the end, a pace right on the threshold of redlining. One easy mental trick for today's workout is to think of your score as being the minimum among all the rounds. That will keep your initial pace moderate, and it will give you a target for all the subsequent rounds. If in the last 6 minutes if you still have the juice and the grit, go for it! Scale the height on the burpees and the load on the thrusters so that you can keep moving for the whole 30 seconds with a good cadence. Don't underestimate the weights here, make sure to include some sets of 20-30 seconds in your warm up at different weights to better know what you   are up against.

Globo Scale-as Rxed.  If you don't  have the exact weight dumbbells use the set that is as close as you can get to it.  If you only have a barbell sub 95/65lb thrusters.  Bodyweight sub do a second set of burpees but with a high jump and hand release pushup. 

Champions Club Scaling Notes:

RANT:
From a coach's perspective, prescribed rest is fantastic to have in workouts because it allows for group transition time, coaching in between, and different athletes set up at different stations if need be. From an athlete's perspective, on the other hand,  prescribed rest might be the worst possible thing we could see. Especially if the movement are... I don't know... burpees and thrusters.

I SHOULD TRY THIS AS RX'D IF: I can get at least 10 burpees and unbroken thrusters for the first few rounds.

GROUP SCALE: As is. For athletes without the technique or experience, I'd take out the rest and go 1 minute straight of each, still 10 rounds.

FIRST TIME IN FOREVER VERSION: same as group

INJURY SCALE:
Upper-body injury - run sub for burpees, one-arm thrusters
Middle body injury - push-ups for burpees, regular squats or bike for thrusters
Lower-body injury - kipping pull-ups for burpees, handstand push-ups for thrusters

Warmup
Handstand push-up - upside down thruster
Jump rope - always
Squat - obvs
Hollow hold - overhead prep
Kip - more time overhead plus global extension/flexion prep for burpees

GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 9. longer rest would make it worse, so stamina will be more of an emphasis here

Heyo, a throw back to 2015!! 😇😇
