Burpee Standards
Occasionally, there are questions regarding the standards for each exercise. Here's the standards for the burpee when training at ONDEG:
Each rep of the burpee will only count when full range of motion is achieved.
Each rep of the burpee will only count when full range of motion is achieved.
- The bottom limit is when your chest and thighs touch the ground.
- The top limit is when your hands clap overhead with your feet off the ground and your hips and legs fully extended. (There is no height requirement on the jump, but the clap must occur while airborne. The clap is considered overhead when the front of the arm crosses the plane of the ear (when viewed from the side).
- If the timing is missed, you may repeat the jump to complete the rep.
- Athletes with limited range of motion must demonstrate the limited range prior to beginning the exercise.
