It’s something else, alright

“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 100402.

WOD commentary from Hari: The good news is that this is over in 16 minutes. The bad news is that done right, it hurts from beginning to end. The first thing to note is that this is not the typical (minimum reps = score) Tabata protocol. Rather this is the total number of reps. Still, it would be wise not to go out so fast that you end the eighth interval with a huge drop off relative to your first.

This is one of those WOD’s you want to take seriously. This, “Angie,” “Barbara,” and “Cindy” are probably the four clearest indicators of your bodyweight capability.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KENT!

    For those avoiding gluten, there’s some legistlation coming up that you might want to add your signature to:

    New York City Council Member Daniel Dromm has introduced two pieces of legislation concerning gluten: Int. No. 502 and Res. No. 689. The passage of these bills in New York City will hopefully increase understanding nationwide about celiac disease and the importance of proper labeling. I encourage everyone in New York City to contact your Council Members to ensure they are signed on as co-sponsors of these pieces of legislation. To figure out who represents you, constituents can go to: http://council.nyc.gov/html/members/members.shtml. Additionally, I urge you all to sign up to co-sponsor this legislation. It is your right as a gluten-free New Yorker to help support this legislation!

    You can download sign-on sheets to fax directly to Council Member Dromm from these two links:

    2 reps less from my last score a year ago. Though last year I had 15 pull-ups; this year I got 34 – then it just killed my push-ups. Oh well, will need to strategerize better next time.

    • jenn

      Scratch that. I can’t count. I got 305, one more than last year. I feel better now.
