“Tabata Something Else“
Complete 32 intervals of 20 seconds of work followed by ten seconds of rest where the first 8 intervals are pull-ups, the second 8 are push-ups, the third 8 intervals are sit-ups, and finally, the last 8 intervals are squats. There is no rest between exercises.
Post total reps from all 32 intervals to comments.
Compare to 090501.
This a such a cool picture. I tried to get in yesterday but battled a migraine all day. I can do the tabata at home but I will be in next week!
P.S. Laura, I have been practicing my pushups : )
The score I gave you for the whiteboard for situps was wrong. It should be 63 for a grand total of 227.

My score on May 1 was 220, but I did plank pushups and this time I did modified pushups, so I have definitely lost some ground, but that’s ok. I’ll get it back. And more.
You’ve compared your overall scores, but how do the individual exercises compare? How do you know you lost ground with push-ups? Perhaps you got half the reps last time doing plank…it would be interesting to see how each exercise compared to last time individually.
Here’s the comparison of each exercise:
May 1 Aug 9
Pullups: 40 33 (green both dates)
Pushups: 31 54 (plank vs. mod today)
Situps: 67 63
Squat: 82 77
I have 3 BAD rips on my left hand, and I know that affected my pullups today even though I tried to ignore them. Plus I have really turned my nutrition on it’s ear, eating WAY less carbs that I’m used to. I started this yesterday. This is a very good thing, but I think my body may be adjusting (freaking out) to the difference in nutrition. I felt really tired on the pullups and the squats…like I simply could not make my body do them. At any rate, I feel good overall because I am working hard and making good changes.
Good attitude, Pat! Hard work & changes will pay off. At least, that’s what I’m coming for!!
Your scores are pretty darn close, especially considering you took some time off this summer. Also, remember that a big PR one day that taxes the CNS (central nervous system) might have an effect on the next day’s workout…
Pull-ups: 8+8+8+8+7+6+4+7=56

Still need to work on pull-ups but nice improvement from last time. I tried to incorporate the tenets from “Intensity” which helped.
Shoulder was excruciating this morning during the pull-ups; had to do the majority underhand (less pain), which is not my preferred style. Rear delt has been inflamed since the rope climbs and ART/Graston; felt it a lot during the pulls and pushes.
Pull: 13-11-8-7-6-6-6-5 (62)

Note – last time this came up, I tried it with CTB pull-ups. This both: halved my pull-up numbers, and consequently allowed me to do a lot more work for the other exercises. Today pull-ups were back to normal numbers (~60), but everything else went down; push (-3), sit (-15), squat (-9).
I only know about kipping from the web, so maybe I can get some help with that because my pull ups need help and kipping would help, right? I’m afraid I counted some pull ups that didn’t quite make it to my chin so I’ll deduct some from this count, making it lower than what’s on the whiteboard. I will work on counting pull-ups more accurately.
Pull ups (w/green band): 9-8-5-4-4-4-3-4= 41

Good job, TPoole, doing this at home on a Sunday. Good girl.

Very inconsistent on pullups and pushups. On the situps and squats I could stay pretty consistent and quick throughout. Need to figure out how to keep up strength on my pullups.
Awesome Ashley! Good for you!
Pull ups= 7+7+6+5+4+4+4+6= 44

Need to work on stringing pull ups! Squats – took it slow, think form was good.

need to try to be faster on squats. felt like my push ups were a little better on form.

Improvement on situps probably due in part to switch from abmat to abmat, anchored situps.
pullups: 14-10-9-7-7-7-5-5=64 (+14 from last time!)
pushups: 20-16-8-8-5-4-5-4=70 (-4 from last time)
