Tabata You Challenge!! Big K Hits!!

[thestick]

So I went to my Gym today planing on doing the thruster challenge, but my free-weight area was backed up like a truck stop shitter. So I decided to try this out on an eliptical (seeing as this is my cardio day anyway). After a 5 minute warm up, I cranked up the resistance and went for it. I have to say I was a bit skeptical at first, but by the 5th "set" of 20 seconds on I was wondering how I was going to finish. I ended up repeating the whole 4 minute drill 4 times with 1 minute in between. Of course I had to lower the resistance each time in order to keep going, and by the last set I could barely get off the machine, but it took me 20 minutes to fully catch my breath and 45 minutes later I can still feel my lungs burning. I feel like I got a better "burn" than my regular 45 minute interval session. I am officially hooked.....

Well I never got my videos up should have but I moved off to college and my parent's video camera stayed behind, with all my footage on it Oh well it would have been a good video too because especially on the burpees one I was definitely in some serious pain at the end

I'd love to see a little more action here!

Time to stop curling in the squat rack and give this puke fest a try!

I think tabatas are great I got a 291 out of 300 on first army pt test and I'd say doing some tabatas beforehand defintiely helped.....They will continue to be in my routine thank you bblazer

I'm planning on hitting either front squats or thrusters today depending on what's available when I get to the gym. The only thing that I'm worried about is the distance from the weights to the men's room (I don't want to puke on anything/anyone) lol!!!

solution: bring a bucket

Jesse: Wait what I don't understand your routine? So you're doing that routine and doing a tabata at the end of each workout or what?

bblazer: thanks much appreciated

LOL, Duly noted I actually got the whole thing off without a hitch. I did front squats in the cage, with the last 2 sets going to failure. I felt like a bitch struggling with 115 lbs
