Labata (that's right...)
Short and sweet set of tabata push-ups to finish up the recording day
ED 26, 25, 10, 8, 6, (6), 6, 5 = 92
KL 20, 14, 15, 12, 9, (6), 8, 8 = 92
SS 21, 16, 9, 7, 5, (3), 6, 5 = 72
Man, these guys were absolutely-nuckin'-futs out of the gate, it's been a while so I tried to pace myself early. Ah, the staying power of lessons learned under negative reinforcement...
Sixth round counted off early hence the parens.

Haha, "fly-and-die". I like that one, but I would have pegged Scott to be the one committing to that strategy.
actually I did, but 21 was the most I could push out on the first time.
And might I add that the title of this post sounds a little dirty.
As much as I'm a diehard practitioner of the fly-and-die, it doesn't seem like an attractive tabata strategy.
Now, for that pyramid rowing sprint workout...
It's worth remembering that the original Tabata protocol was 6-7 rounds at 170% VO2max. Measuring your VO2max is a bit involved, but heart rate is well correlated with VO2max, and for an average 20 year old, this pegs your heart rate at its maximal output (above 200bpm). This protocol was brutal enough on Tabata's subjects, that only 3 made it to round 7 (young, fit students).
Without measuring VO2max, I'm guessing a fly-and-die strategy is closer to the stimulus that Tabata was eliciting in his subjects.
