I can't say that I love Tabata workouts and have never Tabata'd a lot of things. I have done squats, situps and pushups before but never pullups. I think I get frustrated with the scoring, since you just keep your lowest score. I learned today that you can also do a "sellout" and that is what we did.
Tabata Something Else
Continuous clock, one round is 20 seconds work and 10 seconds of rest for 8 rounds per exercise
I was getting ready to jump on the bar when I saw Harold grabbing a 20# vest so I did too. I am such a sucker. Tim also grabbed a vest. We are keeping track of total reps per exercise and I knew the first two exercises were my strongest. Here goes:
Pullups 57
Pushups 63
Situps 65
Squats 113
Total 298
I had the highest pullup # until Danny killed it by getting 76 and then 76 pushups. The pushups were by far the hardest because (a) I was fatigued from the pullups and (b) the weight vest made them tough. I felt pretty good about my workout. It is a benchmark WOD and I wish I would not have used a vest so I could have compared my performance to others not just CFOT. I don't know how much the 20# vest affected my numbers. Note to self for next time.
