Brief But Intense!

Today's conditioning session was brief yet very intense! The workout was tabata press-ups, which I reached failure on a number of times and had to complete them using my knees, but I got them done!

The aim of tabata is to go fast for 20 seconds and rest or 10, do this for a total of 8 times (4 minutes).

I finished the workout with 1 set of 100 squats which was a nice conclusion to a tough workout.

I can still feel the burn in my shoulders which lets me know how hard I actually worked, all I have to do now is finish a tabata press-up session in strict form!!!!!

I now have a few days rest before normal training is resumed, looking forward to lifting the weights again, I must admit.

Thats all for today.
Thanks for reading.

Awesome! I was thinking about incorporating tabata into my push ups, but wasn't sure how it would work. How many did you end up doing?

Not many mate, my shoulders burned out quickly! The workout is very intense, I recommend you give it a try.

I'm just curious, how are you training pro boxers if you can only do 2 pullups?

hi, many trainers cannot do certain exercises, pull-ups have always been a weaklink for me, but just because I cant perform many does not mean that I cannot coach. Thanks.
