This is life Lee, burpees will always be there when and if you're ready to pick them up again. If you never do another burpee again or if you go back and do a million it'll all be part of your continued journey. Enjoy!

[@StrongandConditioned]

Cheers mate it’s you who has been a big influence in this

[@goodboi4939]

Couldn’t have said it better, I picked them back up from strict ring and calisthenics training. Mix in kettlebell work and I may never need weights again unless I get a free trial haha

[@randolphpinkle4482]

All the power to you, Lee. I've been doing burpees on and off for over a year, but I've always loved mixing it up with burpees one day, kettlebells another day, bodyweight work a third day. My burpee workouts are pretty low stress, though. I set a time for 1 minute on 1 minute off where I do 10 or more burpees for a minute, then walk it off for a minute and continue for at least 100 burpees. It's gentle and it makes me feel great. Rock on!

[@thesensei]

I rarely do burpees these days but this is how I do them when I do. I sometimes increase the rest periods though…like sets of 10 with 2min rest between sets. It all depends how I feel when I do them

[@StrongandConditioned]

Keep it up

[@romaingalea5071]

The important thing is that it has motivated many people to take up sports and take control of their health. The buzz around burpees has been a fantastic gateway, regardless of whether one continues with this exercise or switches to another discipline. Thank you for sharing great sporting values and personal development principles.

Thank you 🙏

I started amateur boxing at age 9, that was 50 years ago. I would box some 126 matches over an almost 10 year period. After leaving boxing, I continued to train, and have done so consistently for these past 50 years. Through my 20’s it was running, jumping rope, heavy bag, and calisthenics; in my 30’s I ventured into bodybuilding and my weight climbed to a solid 220 lbs. My 40’s were a journey into powerlifting and BJJ, and I packed on another 25 lbs; strong as a mule but less wind. Going into my 50’s I brought these various training methods together in a sort of hybrid training system. Now going into my 60’s next year, I’m back down to 205 lbs, have visible abs, can deadlift 2 1/4 times my body weight, run 5 miles in under 40 minutes and still knock out 1000 push-ups in a little under an hour. I’ll be attempting a 65 mile ruck-run in 5 months. Diversifying has kept training interesting over these many years and has made me more well rounded. Keep going and do you, brother! Consistency is key, not a particular exercise.

Every one of us who works out, trains, as a regular part of our lives for years will always come and go w different programs, modalities, etc. I think it's great because whenever we decide to go back to a specific exercise or protocol, it's so much more fun again, feels like running into an old friend, and you also get a bit of newbie gains for that movement. Anyone of us who follows you appreciates the realness of you and this channel.

[@MichaelMatisko19]

Lee you’re a good man. You’re making the right decision for where you’re at now in life. The weights will benefit you more as you already know and doing only burpees absolutely limits you. No doubt a great exercise but not the only exercise!

[@brianbraeburn4241]

no problem Lee, you got me doing burpees at 51, navy seals too.. the best exercise known to man, bust them out anywhere. Will always be grateful for that. Much love and respect from Barcelona (via Grangemouth😅).

[@Barbells_and_Burpees]

Good man Lee, appreciate your honesty. The burpee is a great exercise and I use it to keep my conditioning up. It definitely has its limitations though. In my humble opinion the best way to build strength is progressive overload on the basic barbell exercises like squats, deadlifts bench press etc. Keep going on your journey Lee there'll always be support here for guys like yourself who are willing to do the work and pursue their goals

Hang in there brother. I had to adjust my Burpee journey also. Started alternating sets of Burpees with sets of KB exercises, dumbell exercises, and various forms of squats. Becoming more well rounded and gains seem to be coming more quickly. I'm sure that you will come back to burpees eventually with a fresh perspective. Thanks for what you do. If you ever make it out here to Montana, look me up and let's get a beer.

[@StrongandConditioned]

Will do!!

Cheers from CALI/LA.. I’m 48. I spent 3+ years doing burpee-centric training. I got jacked and built amazing stamina. BUT - there was a ceiling for the amount of muscle I could build. I’m 3 weeks into readjusting my programming. I’m predominantly weight/strength training with lighter calisthenics. I still do a 50-100 rep burpee or navy seal complex warm up, then get into my weights. I also dedicate one day a week for weighted calisthenics. I feel amazing. My body fat is down and muscle size is up. Great video!

[@vegetaCOSMOnaut2001]

Making fitness fun is the best. Should bring you up not down. Helps with consistency. Trying something new for a change of pace is good. Return to burpees later. Nothing wrong with that. Helps avoid overuse injuries and mental fatigue. Lifting weights, running, swimming, biking, rock climbing, boxing, martial arts etc. Have fun

No dramas big Lee! You do whatever you want mate, I appreciate your honesty and yes life has a lot more to offer than just fitness and burpee’s. That being said now that you’ve mastered the art of that type of training you know what it can offer and you’ve shared that wisdom with people. You can also take a trip to burpee land whenever you want. Ain’t gotta go there everyday! I’d like to see you do a session with Iron Wolf and Burpee’s King one day though! ❤

[@kevinmonroe7643]

I applaud your courage. I can no longer incorporate burpees in my workout because of my health and totally get it. Much love and God’s speed on your journey 🎉❤

[@fergaldownes]

I have had more injuries from burpees than any other style of training including MMA. Now I do calisthenics circuits instead.

[@cityloyal]

Right decision. Becomes a chore otherwise and that's not what its about. Good luck.

[@LoveJaeger]

I had the same problem, I smashed burpees everyday for a year, got to the point i was doing 100 Navy Seals in 8 mins flat everyday for months, then moved to doing it every second day and alternating with HSPU , box assisted pistol squats, bicep curls and neck bridges. After a while I fell off and gained abit of weight back, atm i just do 2 push ups 2 squats burpees to 100 and just enjoy the process. Almost every burpee practioner I know baring BurpeeKing takes some time off. All the best from MCR.

[@duncanwalshfitnessweightlo9329]

Just catching up with your videos. Hope the situation you found yourself in did not involve any of your family's health etc and hope everyone is well. After that most problems can be figured out. I had a 10 year project a while ago which was littered with problem after problem. It made me good at solving problems! My saying was, "eat a bowl of blueberries and figure it out". Burpees are great. But yes, a variety of training options is the best. Whatever situation I was in though, training always helped clear the mind. Still applies that the best combo is a mixture of strong strength work and strong cardio. Good luck man🙏

[@celeryjuice4176]

There is no one way straight in fitness. Just keep it simple if you choose and keep moving if you choose.

[@penumbramine]

if you want a different training style for your back pocket, check out The Stone Circle. he puts his emphasis on sandbag/stone lifting and calisthenics. really fun way to train. picking up a bag of sand that weighs what you do or more and getting it up to your shoulder feels pretty baller.

[@keith4957]

Yeah the stone circle killing it atm. Got gifted a 100kg bag last week but it kicked my ass and had to drop it down to 90. Never had my arms and hands as sore in my life. Made me realize that the bodybuilding style I was doing wasn't cutting the mustard

[@penumbramine]

@@keith4957 yeah i work with a 75kg and 90kg bag atm and alternate either shorter harder carries or longer easier carries. i can shoulder both but i dont do thay very much as i feel the carry gives me everything i want. carries, rows, and high pulls are what im on atm. need to do the box squats too. i pitched lunges to him. those are brutally hard too.

[@keith4957]

​@penumbrium tried deficit rows standing on two tool boxes yesterday and thought they were a great addition. Haven't tried carrying the 90 yet as weather is shit where in at but loving the high rep shoulder s atm. Tried the shoulder lunges and was blown away can't see me doing the 90 for those any time soon

[@danhemsworth7488]

Your not letting anyone down, injuries are a part of the game. For me personally doing burpees and lifting together as well as running all compliment each other. The "weak point" in burpees for me is the upper back/shoulders. Biceps being neglected will also ruin you, doing all those pushups and only working triceps will cause an imbalance. Also hit shoulders with 25 lb dumbbell, laterals , front , back, hit the rotator cuff on top and side. Hit every angle of the shoulder. For me doing high rep routines requires a lot of preventative maintenance and a high calorie high fat diet.

Im 56 years old 😅 I was mentally smashed on the 1st set of 10. We got to dig deep. Burpees are a Jedi sport. You'll alway be a Jedi bro.
