Using a Tabata clock, complete as many reps as possible for Exercise #1 during the first 20 sec. When you hear the bell, transition immediately (NO REST) to the second exercise (#2) and perform as many reps as possible for 10 seconds. Continue moving back and forth between exercises (without rest) until you've completed 8 rounds of each.
Upon completing 8 rounds of each, rest for 1 min. Then flip-flop the exercises so that you are now doing 20 sec of exercise #2 and 10 sec of exercise #1 of the SAME couplet.
Workout Notes:
We are continuing with our typical/atypical programming this week. I’m loving it, are you? I think the Hatfield method is just what are bodies needed this week.

Again with the giant sets! Sshhh…it’s ok.

It’s been a weird week of programming. Here’s why …
