I looked at the video with woman posted in this thread as well.
I still see a great deal of weight being shifted and supported by the shoulders, an irritant for me.
I'm going to focus more on dips for now because I found a pair of pipe stands that allow me to dip with knees bent, forward body angle and really hit my chest in lieu of the back of my arms.
Burpee's are just too free form for me at this point, too easy to do in poor form.
I'm tending to agree with a few others, this combination exercise may lead to injury, even the experts doing them in the videos warn so.
Why combine squat thrusts and push-ups?
The only reason to do this is it compresses time and get your heart to race quickly.
This is only an advantage to the workout gyms with 1/2 hour classes.
It's like fast food places playing rock & roll to move bodies in and out of there by getting you to eat faster.
Faster is not better in this case,
safer is better. Safer to do one thing at a time.
