Upper Body Tabada Madness

For each of the muscle groups below we did the exercise listed at a normal tempo for 20 seconds, followed by a 10 second break and repeated this 8 times (known as the Tabata Protocol).  The key is to use a heavy weight or your own body weight so you fatigue your muscles completely.  In theory, this could be done with any type of exercise (sprints, agility, strength, etc).  It’s a KILLER!!

Back DB Bent Row 27.5# for 4 sets, 25# for 4 sets
