Tabata Workout

First Workout since the ankle sprain 12/29. Hit the gym with a vengeance just now and oh god, I feel like I’m dying.

Treadmill Warmup:
¾ mile @ 8mph
¼ mile @ 10mph

Stretching and whatnot

Tabata’s:

Pull-ups for ½ Cycle (no way near ready for 8 reps)
4 x 20 on, 10 off
1. 16 pull-ups
2. 6 pull-ups
3-4. 0 pull-ups. Jump up and try to hold myself up as long as possible

Step-ups for Full Cycle (alt. 1-leg step onto 32” bench)
8 x 20 on, 10 off (didn’t count)

Pushups for Full Cycle
8 x 20 on, 10 off

4. 11
5. 11
6. 13
7. 12
8. 11

Hindu Squats for Full Cycle

Planned on lunges but couldn’t do it.

Add in two weeks of no workouts, prescription decongestant/anti-histamine and over-the-counter expectorants and you end up tired, dizzy and nauseated. Man, talk about a mental challenge. Working to total muscle failure on nearly every exercise is just brutal on your mind.

GFY to Dusty for telling me about this shit!
