Tabata “Bottom to Bottom” Squat
Run 1 mile

Clock starts for run on rising from last squat.

The Tabata Bottom to Bottom Squat is a Tabata Squat, but each rep begins at the bottom and ends at the bottom. The turn around at the top is immediate – no pause. The 10-second rest for each interval is also held at the bottom of the squat as opposed to the top. Interestingly, this squat, in contrast to the “normal” Tabata squat, motivates full hip extension. Also, the 10-second rests don’t seem as short with this protocol!

5 RFT of:

15 thrusters, 75 lbs
15 sumo deadlift high pulls, 75 lbs

Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:
7 Push press, 135 lbs
10 Overhead squat, 135 lbs

5 RFT:

12 kettlebell swings
12 box jumps
12 ghd sit-ups

 

SWOD 1: Deadlift 5 – 3 – 1+
75, 85, and 95% of your 4-rep max (or 90% of your 1RM)

SWOD 2: Back squat 5 – 3 – 1+
75, 85, and 95% of your 4RM

SWOD 3: Shoulder Press 5 – 3 – 1+
75, 85, and 95% of your 4RM

Remember, the last set in each exercise is as many reps as possible at 95% of your 4RM. That’s where you want to push yourself to eek out every last rep while maintaining good form.

For time and for fun:

10K run with interruptions: Around every 10 minutes, everyone stops and does the next item on this list:
