Best Greg Amundson's time of 3:59 for this workout ("Fran") and win a T-shirt! "Thrusters" are rock bottom front squat/push-press combo. Pull-ups are from full extension to Adam's Apple touching bar. Post time to comments.
The Tabata Bottom to Bottom Squat is a Tabata Squat but each rep begins at the bottom and ends at the bottom. The turn around at the top is immediate - no pause. The ten-second rest for each interval is also held at the bottom of the squat as opposed to the top. Interestingly, this squat, in contrast to the "normal" Tabata squat, motivates full hip extension. Also, the ten second rests don't seem as short with this protocol!
Austin Malleolo 18/6:17.
