Tabata “Bottom to Bottom” Squats
50 Abmat Sit-ups
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!

1) "Warm Up": Bike 20 minutes at a warm-up pace.
We are doing three sets of back squats at twenty-one reps each.
Choose a weight that you feel you can handle comfortably for
twenty-one reps of regular back squats. These specialized movements
are tough! Make damned sure you warm-up thoroughly with "air squats"
and stretching first.
2) "Power squat": Lower and rise as quickly as you can while maintaining
PERFECT form. Repeat 20 times.
3) "Bottom to bottom": Lower to full squat position (thighs parallel to floor),
hold for a full ten seconds, rise and immediately upon full extension of hip
and leg return to bottom and hold for ten seconds. Repeat 20 times.
4) "Super slow": Take twenty seconds to reach bottom and twenty seconds
to reach top again. Repeat 20 times.
5) Finally, how long can you maintain a 2:00 min. 500-meter pace average?
Set the rower for "Avg 500 meter pace" and stop and record the time at the
instant you fall under the 2:00 minute average (2:00 for men and 2:10 for women).
