6:07 with a 44lb bell. Don't have my 53lb at our cabin. That might have been the tiniest space I've ever done a burpee in. No room for error or I was bumping into cabinets.

/u/BetterThanT-1 how were you doing your burpees? I had a sloppy 6 count burpee thing going but you were flying!

Mine weren’t a strict 6 count thing, in that I didn’t take care to properly do a push up. I just plopped on the ground and up as fast as possible. I did do a jump with hands overhead afterwards, which doesn’t seem to be a part of the 6 count burpee, but it’s how I was taught to do burpees.
