Death by Tabata
8th February 2010

Perform alternating deadlifts 80kg (scale as necessary) and burpees within the Tabata interval framework

Instructions:

  • Start the clock and perform as many reps of deadlifts as possible for 20 seconds
  • Rest 10 seconds
  • Then perform as many burpees as possible in 20 seconds
  • Rest 10 seconds
  • Complete 16 interval (or two Tabata rounds)
  • Your score is counted by the total number of reps in 16 sets (deadlifts + burpees)
  • The entire workout should take 8 minutes.

Push-ups by Beck



“I do CrossFit for a number of reasons but one sticks out. I do it because you can take a simple workout, put it in front of 2 people, one who has been doing CrossFit for 5 years and one who has been doing CrossFit for 5 minutes, scale it sure but at the end of the time limit you will have 2 smashed individuals, curled up on the floor in exactly the same position.

I think there is a bond created with people when you go through hardship together, be that a life altering event or even something as simple as Fran.

And when the chalk settles, the legs stop feeling like lead and the heart rate lowers just below the point of danger, both athletes can pick each other up and say: “Shit…that sucked, ey?” - Robbie Black.
