Set the Concept II Rower for intervals of two minutes of work and two of rest.
During the work row an easy 500+ meters .
During the "rest" powerclean as much of your bodyweight as you can 15 reps.
Before the two minute "rest" is over, get back to the Rower and strap in before timer zeroes.
On zero begin rowing immediately.
Continue this for a total of twenty minutes or five rounds of the couplet.

less than 2:00 minute 500 meter pace.
2. No late starts on the rowing intervals.
3. Your fitness can be scored by the percentage of bodyweight
you use for all five efforts.
4. The powerclean is a hang clean, actually.

This is an amazingly complete workout in only twenty-four minutes.
Set-up the rower for intervals of twenty seconds work and ten seconds rest.
Set the rower to display meters in the lower window. Go all out on the first effort.
On subsequent efforts work to capture as many meters as in the first effort.
In the same interval pattern, 20on/10off X 8,
Squat (air squat).
Same interval pull-ups.
Same interval push-ups.
Same interval sit-ups.
If you transition from one exercise to the next in ten seconds, this is a
twenty-minute workout. For all but the best athletes this will be all but impossible.
Transition from one exercise to the next as quickly as you can. One-minute maximum
transition break! No ranking will be considered for total time that exceeds twenty-four minutes.
Ranking is based on least number of meters in each of eight rowing intervals, and least
reps in each of eight intervals for each of the other four exercises.
Submission includes five numbers: least number of meters in rowing, least number of squats,
least number of pull-ups, least number of push-ups, and least number of sit-ups.
"Tabata Interval" Squat
(Squat for 20 seconds, rest for ten, repeat for total of 8 efforts in 4 minutes)
Rest 4 minutes
20 Pull-ups (assisted if needed), followed immediately by 20 reps Bench press
Rest 3 minutes
15 Pull-ups, followed immediately by 15 reps Bench press
Rest 2 minutes
10 Pull-ups, followed immediately by 10 reps Bench press
Rest 1 minute
"Tabata Interval" Squat
(Squat for 20 seconds, rest for ten, repeat for total of 8 efforts in 4 minutes)
Take note of the weakest number of squats in each of the 16 intervals.
Use the least amount of assistance possible to complete the pull-ups and use
max load on bench press.
This entire workout takes just over twenty minutes. Take note of the devastation.
Ask yourself what it is that your friends are doing in the gym for hours at a time.
