Busy Dad FAQs: How do I get started with BDP?

[@MrOttovonn]

Thanks for this explanation on how to get started! I like that intensity of the program can be scaled from either cautious or intense.

[@diamondjoe4697]

Thanks for doing this. I’m looking at the BDT mass building program, but I gotta test in to see where I stand. Appreciate this.

[@michaeltallsman2740]

Just finished my first week of BDP, and I think it's very good, solid and simple program. I do, however, feel humbled. Instead of spacing the workouts as you advised, I did 21 Navy seals on Monday (16 min) , 51 6cts on Tuesday (17 min) , 27 Navy seals Wed (20 min) , and today 55 6cts in 20 min. The first two work outs were my mistake; as you pointed out, we have to use every minute of the 20 minutes. That said, doing my 6ct workout a day after the navy seal work out left me more drained by the fourth work out for today. I had to crunch out 55 6cts and it was slower than my attempt on Monday. Though it was a personal best for the 6cts; I think I could have done better if I was more rested. I thought just 20 minutes of exercise each day would not be too taxing; I was wrong haha. Just wanted to share. I do feel great after completing 20 minutes of intentional and intense exercise. You are doing busy people a great service, sir.

3 sets of 10 navy Burpees I'm shattered 🤣 , I'm a postie , bad knee..I admire everything busy dad does , everyone share this great man's vids

[@busydadtraining]

Thanks, brother! And 3 sets of seals is nothing to sniff at, my man!!

[@danielprobets7635]

Hi BD , sorry it's been a while . After doing a set of 500 6 counts around the time you did your 300 unbroken I have aggravated an old back injury . Hence no Burpees for over a week now . It was around 12 years ago I injured my back whilst lifting a heavy beam early one morning at work and I knew straight away it wasn't good. Since then It occasionally comes back to stop me in my tracks but I felt so good after dropping some weight and cleaning up my life in general ( and being on the busy dad program). So I'm patiently waiting to get better which is hard for me as I see you all doing the JC challenge and would love to have put my effort forward. Well done on the fantastic response it has achieved by the way , I guess you and JC must be very happy with that. All the best brother , I'll let you know how things are shaping up .

[@danielprobets7635]

Thanks so much for the advice , I really appreciate it means a lot . I plan to start light by maybe some cycling and have been walking around as much as I can . I guess I probably didn't warm up sufficiently and will never take this for granted again . On Saturday my dog went missing as she was scared by fireworks and was up all night searching for her ( this is in São Paulo Brazil , where I live ) and caught a stinking cold in the process. But she managed to find her way back to our apartment block after going missing from my mother in-laws house about 4 km away from our place and 14 hours later .so all well in the end . I will keep you posted , and so pleased your channel is doing so well .

[@danielprobets7635]

I will be tuned in , show em how it's done Brother 💪💪💪

[@johan9388]

500 damn that's insane.. Hope you are better now!

love your energy👌

[@stuartthecobblerandloopyluna]

Great advice

[@Jormmg]

I just recently found out about the busy dad program and I hadn't watched this video yet, so I right away did my 10 pull ups and 23 navy seals (same day I heard about the program) and then the next day I did my 10 pull ups and 60 6 counts. My triceps are absolutely on fire and I'm glad to find out in the first week I'm only supposed to test in.

[@busydadtraining]

Superb work, my friend!!!! Absolutely delighted to have you on board, and way to test in to Level 1B!!!

[@FluksWorkouts]

Some Great stuff my man! You are doing some great things!

[@oosiris]

Great stuff BDP! Let’s go everyone! Time to get tested.

[@50PlusWarriorFitness]

Sound and solid advice!

[@Krowweee]

It looks like this one is missing from the FAQ playlist. Had to search for it. Please add it to the playlist :) Cheers!

[@busydadtraining]

Done!

[@Krowweee]

@@busydadtraining Thank you!

[@mazmamworkout]

Thanks for sharing sir 🙏

Anyone had any experience of healing serious eczema with workouts like this? I have no proof, but I do know that since doing lots of ironwolf my chronic hand eczema has finally cleared up. Am asking because my son is suffering v badly ATM. He's 13 and sporty and I want to see if I can gather anecdotal evidence to motivate him to train BDP with me. Much love to you, Max, and all those awesome burpee practitioners out there. I am 50, BTW.

[@busydadtraining]

Hi Nichola! I'm afraid I can't speak to your question. But I do think that if your son tries this form of training, he will discover that it is a tremendous source of self-respect that will carry him through the coming years of his life.

[@James-gp5uu]

I'm currently doing a workout program that is working really well for myself. I'd like to also incorporate doing the burpees twice a week instead of 4, due to the other training I do, would you recommend this or not?

There's no link in the description.

[@benjaminfoord2447]

Answered all my questions in one pass, thanks! Is your age correct the website? I think there’s a typo there.

[@busydadtraining]

There is indeed! I am 35! Delighted that this video was helpful, my man!

[@benjaminfoord2447]

@@busydadtraining same age as me…. I’ve got some catching up to do :) thanks again.

[@eaztwest]

Do you follow a diet?

[@busydadtraining]

I do! There is a nutrition playlist on the channel but also more content on this subject coming next year!

[@georgedisorder]

I can barely manage 40 6 counts and Im ded lol XD

[@busydadtraining]

Keep going!!!

[@georgedisorder]

@@busydadtraining I will, I started last week and could barely do 20, so next week hopefully 60 if the improvement remains constant. Thanks for the encouragement! 👍

[@georgedisorder]

@@busydadtraining Update: Im in week 7 and I did my first 100 6-counts. Paired with a relatively strict keto diet ive lost 13lb since starting the program. Had a blood pressure check at the weekend and I scored a very respectable resting score of 119 over 60. For reference; at the beginning of this program I was 15st 7lb, the heaviest I have ever been in my life, and my target weight is 13st 10lb, which is an optimum weight for my build and height at 6ft. Im 38 and I sit on my ass all day for my laptop based admin job. Still can barely do 15 navy seals though ;P
