Tabata Something else

Today I scored a 384. That is a PR by 9, so I am happy with that, but I know 400 was attainable. I don't know the full break down, but the pullups started with 12x2, pushups 15x2, situps 12 and 11 and squats 20x2. The last 2 sets of everything were too low and my sit-ups were way too slow. I don't know how to make them go faster, I just get stuck in the mud. I think I was more consistent in the middle, but I need to sell out completely at the 7th and 8th rounds.

We ended with 2 200m sprints. That was killer. by the end, my glutes were toast and in serious lactic burn. I couldn't stand for 5 minutes after. No stretch or position helped. I am still feeling it, but it was a good finisher. Next time I need to get 400+ with faster sit-ups, and better later rounds. I think my starting numbers are good, if I can keep the later rounds higher.

Plan for next tabatta: 10s across for pullups, 12s across for pushups, 12s across for situps and 20s for squats = 80+96+96+160=432
