Burpees
Burpees is a endurance discipline in BYOH, trained with bodyweight and building stamina and legs. Its ladder runs from 1 rep at Level 1 to 75+ reps at Level 9, and Level 10 is the world record.
The ten levels
BYOH measures a discipline in ten cleared levels. Level 9 is a genuine feat; Level 10 is the standing world record, which is there to be looked at rather than reached.
Burpees starts at Level 1 with 1 rep. Level 5 asks for 20 reps, and Level 9 - the last level a person can train towards - 75+ reps. The largest single jump is from Level 8 to Level 9, 55 reps to 75+ reps.

The record past Level 9
Burpees — Provisional legend benchmark.
BYOH uses a provisional final gate until a comparable governed record format is selected. This is a provisional benchmark rather than a governed record.
How it is done
- Move from standing to a braced floor position.
- Return the feet underneath you with control.
- Stand or jump to finish; step-back variations count.
How the attempt is judged
A level only means something if two heroes clearing it have done the same thing. These are the rules BYOH counts an attempt by — they are the rules of a game, not coaching.
- What counts as one
- One repetition is chest to the floor and back to standing with the feet leaving the ground. Stepping in and out counts; the chest still has to touch.
- The set
- One unbroken set. You may pause in the supported position for as long as you like; the set ends the moment you leave it.
- What you need
- A clear space the length of your body. The supported position is standing.
- What ends it
- Resting on the floor at the bottom, or standing still for breath beyond a pause on your feet, ends the set.
What it builds
Burpees feeds Stamina and Legs in a hero’s record, working full body.
- Whole-body work capacity
- Interval capacity
- Quadriceps
- Pressing endurance
- Coordination & balance
Burpees is one of 7 endurance disciplines. It shares its bodyweight requirement with 1 other endurance discipline. Stamina is also built by rope jumping, mountain climbers, 1 km run and 3 more, and a broad attribute needs several of them rather than one taken far.

BYOH turns these levels into a hero: what you clear becomes attributes, quests and a character that grows with your training. It is free, and in open alpha.
