Lol, not at all. It makes me miss California a lottttt!!!! I'll have to visit the east coast again before I really think about moving. :/

 

[love2liftkat]

You girls are killing it in here! Puccah, hope you are at least enjoying the trip even with the horrible weather. What you NEED to do is tell your friend that you have never rode a sled or an inner tube and they need to take you sled riding stat! You said Ohio right? Lots of hills around I imagine. You will feel like a kid again. I know you are a kid at heart you would have a blast! Katt looking good in your flex friday pic.

Thank you Kleen!!

I always say it but my goodness your back workouts are always wicked good. We don't have tabaita around are area.

UH WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha, Tommy, everyone has tabatta in their area! Here is how you do it. Download Tabatta Timer from the Google or Apple Store, pick 1-8 exercises I really prefer only 1 or 2 myself. I will explain that in a minute. Anyway you you do 20 seconds of all out 100% MAX effort then rest 10 seconds, that is one Round. You need to complete 8 of these 30 second rounds non stop to complete the Tabatta session. You can do 1-2 sessions at the end of a workout, or first thing in the AM and get some good fat burning going on. They are also great to do through out the day if you want to continue to increase your metabolism through out the day.

Exercise selection -
It is my opinion you place the body in more stress working the same muscles into metabolic stress than doing a ton of different activities without completely exhausting any of them. Many people have bastardized tabatta by using 4-8 exercises in one session. This allows too much rest for the working muscles by using too many different muscle groups. It is the extreme metabolic stress placed on the working muscles with very little rest that increases the EPOC and the effort itself. If you do too many exercises during the tabatta session the muscles don't get as exhausted & you don't create that extreme need like you do when you are using the same muscles over and over each time.

That being the case I prefer to see Tabatta of 1-2 exercises. You have to choose movements that are safe enough that you can give reckless abandon to the effort you are putting in. One of the absolute best tabatta exercises is and has been the stationary bike. It is easy to crank to max resistance and go all out for 20 seconds then rest for 10 and repeat. You want to test your metal then give it a shot on the bike!!!! A spinning bike is even better! If not using a bike or stationary equipment then you should definitely be doing a full body movement like air squats, jump squats or burpees. I have done really well with combinations like Air Squats and Push Ups, but the key there is to flex the hell out of your legs and abs during the push ups. Talk about a beast of a workout. Although admittedly I have not done what I feel will be the hardest body weight version which is to do Burpees done with a full push up at the bottom for the only exercise for all 8 rounds that would be a beast. I just haven't felt like abusing myself that much yet.

 

[TheMovement]

Im so going to crush my back workout later! I cannot wait thanks for the motivation!

 

[packers6211]

Damn man I just about went to Books A million to look for Tabatta for dummies lol. I was thinking it was a Karate class!!

 

[wasme]

I like the stretchers in there... solid work as usual Kat.

Nah, the free Cliff Notes I just gave are all you need. You can also look for tabatta on Youtube they will have some there you can do with them using the timer and stuff.

 

[DreamWeaver]

I have back today as well.. I don't know if I can match Kats numbers. Seriously I don't do that much more on a lot of exercises.

I am with you on this, she was doing pulldowns within 10lbs of what I use (But I'm Old)

I am no spring chicken either but I never try to push the envelope performance wise too much. Plus I do a lot of eccentric training. Still Kats numbers are still impressive no matter how you slice it.

Thank you! You should do Tabata! I think you would really like it! It's VERY INTENSE but afterwards you feel like you really accomplished something! I use a Tabata timer like Kleen was saying! The spinning bike is great and easy set up...now a whole set of burpees...umm yeah don't think I'd want to try that one! Hahahaha

Kat, nice work up there!!!!

Thank you Kleen and thanks for such a thorough explanation of Tabata! The burpee idea is pure craziness though!! Lol

Im so going to crush my back workout later! I cannot wait thanks for the motivation!

Awesomeness! Happy to help!

I like the stretchers in there... solid work as usual Kat.

Thank you! Between the pullovers, those and the reverse flyes- I was feeling it all day yesterday!!

I have back today as well.. I don't know if I can match Kats numbers. Seriously I don't do that much more on a lot of exercises.

Haha it's not just about numbers you and rocket both train hard and have great conditioning! The eccentric training is intense!!

That is true, I have been able to increase numbers on a lot of lifts but some of bpaks techniques make it hard to be progressive. Overall my body is more comprehensively strong though ... and the gains.. my my.

Happy Thursday everyone! Sorry it's taken me a bit to log my workout! It's been a busy day. I had a good workout but had to leave the gym early due to an appointment at my son's school before work.
