Workout of the Day

Tabata mash-up:
50 kg push-press
Knees-to-elbows

For the Tabata mash-up, you will alternate between the two exercises, completing 8 sets for each (16 total sets or two complete Tabata intervals). For example, 20 seonds of push-press, 10 seconds rest, 20 seconds knees-to-elbow, 10 seconds rest, etc.

To perform a knees-to-elbow, hang from the pull-up bar and curl lower body up until knees touch the elbows. A push-press is pressing the barbell above the head to full extension from a quarter squat position.


Total reps: 76

This is the first time I have performed knees to elbows, and not substituted an easier exercise.
