Tabata something else minus pullups (snowing outside)

PU: 14,14,14,11,7,6,6,6= 78
SU: 16,15,15,15,14,12,11,11= 109
SQ: 16,17,17,17,17,17,16,17= 134

total= 321 w/ strict form.

To compare from last time where I was trying to maximize rep count and sacrificed some form:

10/24/07 02/02/08 Difference
PU 97 78 -19
SU 109 109 0
SQ 142 134 -8
Total -27

The difference equals about 8% loss in total reps doing strict full ROM sets vs. the inevitable "cheats" when going for speed and reps. That isn't much loss and the increased difficulty can only be an added benefit in the long run despite some lowering of scores initially.

PU:18,15,11,12,10,8,7,7
SU:11,11,11,10,10,10,10,10
SQ:14,15,15,15,15,15,15,16

Sharp drop off after the first sets on Pull ups and push ups. How can you keep those #s consistent through the whole cycle?

I'm going to have to make this up tomorrow.

JD514: on the pull ups you were averaging about 6 each round if I were you next time I would try to do 7-8 each time so just drop after 8 and wait till next round that would give you 16 extra points. Now that you have your numbers just find the average and aim for going 1-2 higher next time.
