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!

That was a tougher WOD than it looked.

Yeah I would rather follow CrossfitUV to be honest, but the 3 other guys I am working out with prefer to follow the main page because they know no better, so majority rule wins. Great job on your PR's this year. I look forward to being home in a little over a month. February 10th is my scheduled day to return home, can hardly wait.
Merry Christmas!
