It’s probably not the volume itself, but the INSTANT DIFFERENCE in volume, that leads to aching joints. Increase slowly instead!

Probably a fair point!

Very happy with the BDP and the results I've experienced this year. Just achieved level 1D today which I'm really pleased with. Going low and slow for level 2 next year. At 53 I think im more fit now than I have ever been. Thanks Max for the BDP and for your inspirational KZread content 👍

I have been doing 1D and hit runs.. I did feel your pain doing burpees every day. It hurts. Still getting my 80 plus minutes in a week.. love this program.. take your time and make it your own.. you won't regret the results.

Great message! People will listen to you.👍

Great video! Kboges has an excellent calisthenics channel and has discussed this at length. He makes a great point, as you do, that high volume may work for some people, but for others it results in too much wear and tear on the joints and leaves you feeling run down. So I guess it just depends on the person and knowing your body!

Thank you. Good advice.

Baby steps, never just jump into the deep end guys… all is needed .. short, long, fast , hard routines .. do what works For you..👊🏽

Brother... The reason why you're one of the best burpee practitioners on yt, thank you 👍🏽👍🏽much respect!!

AWESOME!! Way to rep the Busy Dad Army!!!

Meaningful experience, hell yeah 👍🏽

I love this approach. 20% of what you do, gives you the 80% of the results (of course with the correct intensity). I personally do BDP 2 per week, one 6C session and 1 NS session. After each one of those sessions I add 10 minutes of sandbag work, something like bear hug carries or ground to shoulder (to hit the posterior chain a little bit better). Beside that I run once a week and go to a obstacle course race class where i do a lot of pulling work. For me this resulted in a pretty much balanced training schedule that i can maintain and get great results from 🙌

Congratulations Doctor Busy Dad!

Tough to gauge when you want to hit it hard I bet, but I think joints can get overloaded, I think 80 min. is plenty for me! Thanks because I've been tempted to up-shift, they're addictive, the results come fast! Rest up!

Hi Max I’ve spent the last 8 weeks on longer rep session’s training for a boxing match , yeah at 46 a bit silly bit of fun. I’ve been doing 500 sets at least twice a week with a 300 or 400 third session. I’ve also noticed sore shoulder joints . I really won’t to try a 1000 unbroken soon then I’ll prob drop back to the 20 min sessions. I just wanted to mention a 20 min 6 count I did today in case you may like to try it. Inspired by David W forget his surname he recently graduated his level 4. He split his sess into 4 5 min blocks. So I did 3 25 rep blocks on 5 min. 1min30 for first 2 then 2 min for last 25. Gives you 2 10 sec rests and a 30 sec rest. I managed 305 a pr for me. Just thought it might work well for you right now. Hope your well man ❤️

305 is epic, my man! I had no idea you were 46, either! Fantastic work, and good luck with your match!! Please let us know how it goes!!

Wow max iwas on the same line as you mate .I battered the burpees on high reps for 12months it’s not good for the joints I’ve gone on to lowered reps slow and deep under tension and I’ve become so much better ,stronger you read my mind lol xx

Personally speaking doing higher volume workouts has actually helped me reach higher levels on the short BDP 20 minute sessions. It may be that i need an extra days rest after a high volume set but without doubt it has lead to growth for me. You just have to build up slowly to the 500+ push up sets.

Agree here.. have been doing a month long Iron Wolf program recently. I'm 100% confident that when I get back to BDT in January my numbers are going to be considerably higher 👊

@@busydadtraining no worries 😌 Max. Getting rebooted on BDP these days. Started last year and they got side tracked into other training. Hoping to make BDP my main focus for 2024 so testing in again and taking your advice to start slow and work toward progress. Navy seals today 🫡

It is actually unbelievable what you can achieve with just 80 minutes per week! All that matters is the Intensity, reminds me of Mike Mentzers H.I.T program

Agreed. Also be safe out there. Walk on shoulder facing oncoming vehicles We need your leadership

Busy dad, how many hours do you sleep in the last time? How many hours do you need to recover properly? We are in the winter dark time. I play with a thought to take vitamin D. But I kinda don't trust artificial sources. What do you think about supplementing vitamin D and Zink?

@busydadtraining

When I'm lucky, I get 8 hrs, whichis perfect for me. I am also thinking about supplementing with vitamin d and zinc. I think it's worth doing.

Make a blood test, if you living in northern parts of the world your will likley be in some kind deficit. As source of vit d you can take cod liver oil (people used it for centurys to prevent rachitis). Zinc supplement is totally fine, it will boost your immunesystem!

500 6-counts on top of what, 120+ Navy's? And you're feelin' it? You should be, that's a lot (860+ pushups) of reps. Though the Gregorian chants might have something to do with it...🙂

Quite possibly it was the chants!!

If i train high volume i would feel pain in my joints after. Plus after 3 or 4 days doing 500+ burpees i feel overtrain also.

Interesting video. I think the benefits are different - BDP is like a HIT workout- a 500 burpee set is like a marathon, brings indeed much mental gains. I like them but probably you don't actually have to do massive volume sets just to gain a decent level of fitness. Congrats on defending the dissertation!

@busydadtraining

7 ай бұрын

Thanks, sir! And I definitely agree about the mental benefits

Isnt that just part of the training though, conditioning the body. It would be like a 400m runner trying a marathon and wondering why their joints hurt.Ultimately it comes down to your goals right?

@busydadtraining

I guess you can condition your joints to some extent, for sure

How is 300+ burpees not high volume? Its not your fault you get them all done in 20 minutes!

Sometimes the Juice isn't worth the Squeeze.......

Don't you do hundreds of burpees haha? Unless you consider high volume 500+ reps
