Harder to do 100 burpees or 20 pull ups

[chineebai]

Depends if the burpee contains a pushup in it. If you can do 100 straight burpees with a push up and jump up, then you are in exceptional good shape.

I fukked up by lower back doing burpees. fukk them

Full body/compound exercises show you your deficiencies, whether it’s form or muscle imbalance

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


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

He probably jumping to the ground with his hips to the floor first, his arms stop hi body but the hips keep going down putting pressure on the lower back.

That comes from bad pushup form basically. Or doing to many pushups the wrong way

Do them robotic and deliberate if you have to taking notce to keep you lower back bent more upward, if u can't help making love to the floor

Stop humping the damn ground with them pushups

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

I assumed it was consecutively. 20 pull ups in 5 minutes is light work.

Not even close it's 100 burpees.

I really don't think 20 pullups is as demanding as 100 burpees

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Gonna need to see vids of y’all doing 20 straight pull-ups. I doubt 90% of the population could do that

Let me ask you... do unathletic people do burpees or pullups more?

 

[thekingsmen]

After 50 burpees you want to throw up

20 pull ups would be a struggle but who the fukk is doing 100 burpees without passing out

 

[Biscayne]

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

I bet a smaller percentage can do 100 burpees with correct form in an alotted amount of time.
