I remember reading Tabata workouts on paper, and I was like, too easy. I was wrong. Thanks! Buh,

It's surprising how tiring simple pushups and squats can become. For pullups and dips however, kipping or jump assisting are generally the only ways to perform enough reps for metabolic conditioning. Be careful of the Tabata protocol when performing an exercise that demands perfect form. Tabata deadlifting is an excellent way to throw out your back. Keep movements light and functional. Any movement you can perform for more than 50 reps straight is an excellent choice for Tabata. Sprinting, burpees, mountain climbers, or even jumping jacks could constitute productive Tabata sessions. I enjoy the Tabata sequence as a supplement for grappling work.
