I can do the weight on elbow-to-forearm flat on the floor modification pushups, but that doesn’t flow with burpees. Erik has those pushup bars, and when I first saw them I thought they were “made-to-sell” as Daddy used to put it. Now I totally feel it.

5 lb dumbbells work good as pushup bars too and when you do the jump up and put your hands over your head part of the burpee with those dumbbells in your hands you're strengthening your upper body even more.
