When to reach for this template
A single descending ladder of bodyweight burpees — no load to select, so pace is the only variable. Treat the listed rest as a ceiling, not a target; keep moving as the reps drop. Chest to floor, full hip extension and a jump at the top for a strict rep; scale by stepping back and up if the pattern degrades. Use this as a closer after strength work, never the main event. If 55 reps is too much early, start the ladder at 8 instead of 10.
