Mr Tabata tells me to do burpee's and swings.

Yo!

This time:

Front squats. Go to 5x5.
I only had the time to do 3x5 @ 80 kg because my trainer had to leave early today. 80 kg felt pretty good for front-squatting 5 times. I could probably go heavier to 90-100 kg and still be able to do 5x5, although I'm not sure that I would be able to keep my form as good as this workout allowed.

Workout:
10 tabata-interval rounds (AMRAP during the work part, 100% intensity):
20 seconds 24 kg kettlebell swings.
10 seconds rest.
20 seconds burpee's.
10 seconds rest.

Result:
Top / low swings: 15 / 10. Top / low burpee's: 8/5. I actually kept the swings at 11 for 5 rounds before I had to step down to 10. 24 kg was a painful experience to do so many of. The burpee's went better than I thought. I finished the last round with 7 of them. I could probably step up to 6 / 20 seconds on avg next time.

  2. It's loads of fun. Once you hit round 5, you think that this will never end and that you will never ever make it. But by just keeping up the spirits you'll be able to push through. My results for the rounds were actually Swings: 13-12-11-11-11-11-10-10-10-10-10. Not 15 as I wrote earlier :( Burpee: 8-6-6-5-5-5-5-5-5-7
