Tabata “Bottom to Bottom” Squat
Run 1 mile

Clock starts for run on rising from last squat.

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!

Post Tabata score and mile time to responses.

  10. Hi Natalie. It was a honor to complete your grandfather’s wod. We appreciate his service.

    To answer your question, LA Fitness is not a Crossfit gym so there was nothing programmed. I missed this wod on Veteren’s Day and wanted a chance to make it up (i love hero wods and definitely wanted to fight thru this one) and this was this place. For whatever reason, hang cleans felt better on my back than the power clean…I think because I did not have bumper plates.
