A complete bastardization of the tabata protocol, would be a complete waste except its fucking hilarious.
oh god, no. make it stop
Come on brother, yeah you can do it bro. How bad do you want this.
Not even using free weights.
Squeeze them fuckers! And get blasted!
Not a bad thing if you’re up for something a lil different. Remember, you can use the Tabata protocol for just about anything. Have to agree that the talking was unnecessary, though.
That PT popped a huge Broner from watching him.
“Oh yeah man, squeeze em, squeeze em hard, how bad do you want this?”

The whole point of Tabata is increasing increasing VO2 max and anaerobic capacity. Doing biceps curls and triceps extensions with a 20:10 work:rest ratio is NOT Tabata.

They are using the Tabata principles, however, they are targeting both the bi’s and tri’s. Pretty much cutting it down to 4 rounds per. Principles are the same, although they would have done better to stick with bi’s for 4 straight, then go to tri’s for 4. And you can use the Tabata protocol for just about anything you see fit. That’s why people do it with a lot of calisthenic exercises as well.
Beast, read the post you quoted again. You can use the principles, but those principles exist solely to increase VO2 max whilst working in a very limited time frame. I don’t see anything wrong with doing an exercise this way, but I don’t see how it relates to the work of Dr Tabata. Unless you do kurls for cardio

I have read the post. Repeatedly, if that makes you guys feel better. I did not disagree with increasing VO2 and anaerobic capacities. While curls and tricep extensions aren’t the most practical methods of doing this, they still would fall under the umbrella of anaerobic exercises. Just as lifting weights falls under this category. Just as sprinting will fall within the category. Just as calisthenics will. Let’s do this: use the Tabata method/principles with…let’s say…squats. I guaran-damn-tee your heartrate will increase immensely, your muscles will burn, and you will reach muscle failure. Quickly. Just as you would with a sprint. My point is the method is not as limited as you seem to suggest.
Hmm the machine looks like it could be awesome to have in a gym
and as a finisher that curcuit could properly work
But does it replace a real tabata with thrusters ? NO !
Beast, you just switched from something useless (arm work) to something using the whole lower body (squat) as an example in your last post…sneaky!
what the hell man

What!?! I referenced the arm work!! lol
Follow up:
These two smashed in the shower afterwards using the same motivational cues.
What the hell is with this obsession with involving the “core” in every possible exercise? And adding lunges to an arm workout? Christ!
Where in the video did they say it was a tabata workout?
It would have to be unless there was an incredible coincidence that they picked 20 seconds on/10 seconds off for 8 rounds.

Agreed. The original protocol was used with a cycle ergometer on speed skaters. Comparing an Airdyne Tabata to curls and extensions makes me throw up in my mouth. Reminds me of that Muscle and Fitness a couple issues back that had a full “Tabata” bodybuilding workout.
