Burpees are useless for someone trying to get stronger.

All they do is tire you out and make you weaker.

It's like long distance running - it trains endurance i.e. it *competes* with strength gain i.e. the more burpees you do the weaker you become*.

*Unless you're a novice

There's a difference between exercise and strength training.

Strength training = getting strong = being able to lift and move heavier loads i.e more force production against an external resistance

i.e. do squats, deadlifts, press, bench press, etc. (starting strength LP)...

...and increase weights every workout to give your body a reason to get stronger.

You won't become stronger by doing the same workout over and over again with 100s of reps in many cases (bodyweight workouts)

They will get you stronger up to a point

After that, not much

Doing the same thing over and over again does not make you stronger.

Look at cyclists and tennis players and marathon runners

They're athletic but they're not strong

Because they don't train against progressively heavier weights.

Compare with Rugby players who do

Strength training and endurance training are two different things.

Training that focuses on endurance is detrimental to strength.

You want to be strong.

Lift heavier weights.

Not do burpees.
