Fitness doesn't boil down to lifting.
Sounds like something a World Gym meathead would say.

How many consecutive burpees could you do right now before passing out? No push-ups required

Is it a burpee if there isn't a pushup?

You have me doubting my entire life now

Spartan requires the push-up. I don’t even think it’s considered a burpee without one.

it's just considered hopping and falling

without the push-up, it's a squat-thrust
lightmann

Yes, it's just a regular burpee. There are probably 20+ variations.

I have never heard of a burpee that doesn't involve the pushup motion

Why would anyone waste their time with such an activity?
a priori

Cardiovascular endurance
monkeycowboy
4/22/19 8:50pm
Waste of time.
a priori
4/22/19 8:50pm
Normally I'd agree but some of us have to cut and have to embrace this dumb alternative lifestyle
monkeycowboy

Why would anyone do as many bench press on the 225 as they can?
JohnnyComeLately
4/22/19 8:52pm
Sure, but if you're going to do a fitness challenge...why not do it with
a priori

Because not everyone cares about how much they can bench or deadlift or squat

I disagree that it shows "overall fitness" better...you just make the lifts

Lip Gallagher

But lifting is the best way to become fit.
a priori

Well, nutrition is. But there's no one type of fit.
Lip Gallagher

Nutrition is the best way to be healthy.
a priori

Nor is lifting alone sufficient for anything.
Lip Gallagher

While this is all fancy and nice. Cardio is not as effective as resistance
a priori

I still lift 5-6 times a week and still do burpees regularly
JohnnyComeLately
4/22/19 9:23pm
Sure. I'm genuinely curious. Burpees seem like a huge waste of time.
a priori
4/22/19 9:28pm
If you rotate your workouts you can easily lift 5-6 days a week.
monkeycowboy
4/22/19 9:45pm
I'd say that you're not lifting heavy enough on the days that you do lift.
a priori
4/22/19 9:47pm
Well I can an do have heavy sets but like I said I am cutting.
monkeycowboy
4/22/19 9:53pm
Nice job--that's impressive weight loss.
a priori

Maybe you too could join the 1000 lbs club if you started doing burpees like me and monkey.

I'm hoping to be there by the end of the year.
a priori
4/22/19 10:16pm
I'm glad you found what works for you. I would love to powerlift more. Resistance training is great and I would never
monkeycowboy

It can only be judged superior relative to the intended goal. My goals aren't to be good at working out, they are to be

Generally speaking of course. You are an exception to the rule.

Burpee, the king of exercises:

Burpee--the exercises that you should never do again.

Says one writer in the Denver Post? and then refers it back to the military?

Did you miss the bottom of the post?

...stopped reading at "prevent(ing) lead poisoning." 🙂

Just one long one.

A burpee without a push-up is a squat-thrust. Would depend on how slow I was doing them .
lightmann

Quite a few...

Sometimes I burp while I powerlift if that’s what you mean
