Burpees...not impossible but I'll be much more exhausted if I do 100 burpees than twenty pullups

I fukked up by lower back doing burpees. fukk them
You was probably doing the CrossFit style of burpees...I can’t see you injuring your back doing it the proper way, like @Mowgli posted
Full jump arms up - higher the better
Full pushup
Jump to feet surfboard style from pushup*

Only good thing that came out of CrossFit is exposing people to Olympic weightlifting

20 pull-ups with correct form.

a very small % of the population can do 20 pull-ups consecutively with good form. Most that claim they can usually are doing chin ups (palms facing body/face), or don’t fully extend the arms out, or use a lot of momentum by kicking or kipping. We had a thread in the gym some years back and very few people got the 20 pull ups to that standard.


Burpees is mostly a test of cardiovascular strength and a bit easier

Consecutively - makes a huge difference....I can only do 15 max in 1 set
You are right for most people 20 pull-ups is harder than 100 burpees
Personally for me its burpees only because of the headaches
