Stimulus & strategy

This is thirty-two twenty-on, ten-off intervals stacked across four movements with no rest between them, so it feels like a relentless bodyweight grind. Unlike a standard Tabata scored by your worst round, here every rep adds up, which rewards you for pushing hard even as fatigue sets in. Come out controlled on the pull-ups so you don't blow up your grip, then keep chipping honest reps all the way to the last squat.

Standards
  • · 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest for each interval
  • · The only transition is moving straight from the last pull-up interval to the first push-up, and so on
  • · Score is the total number of reps completed across all 32 intervals
  • · This differs from standard Tabata scoring, which counts only the lowest single interval
Scaling
  • · Use banded or jumping pull-ups to keep reps flowing across all eight intervals
  • · Drop to push-ups from the knees once full push-ups slow down
  • · Reduce to 4 intervals per movement for a shorter 8-minute version
Coaching tips
  • · Pick a sustainable rep number per interval and protect it; blowing up early tanks your later scores.
  • · Use the 10-second rests to shake out and reset your grip, especially on pull-ups.
  • · Count out loud or track a running total so you stay honest as fatigue builds.
