"Tabata Fight Gone Bad"

WOD

One round for total reps of:

Tabata Wallballs

Tabata SDHP

Tabata Box Jumps

Tabata Push Press

Tabata Row

Total: 354

I thought this was a really good WOD. The total work time was 13:20, with 6:40 of rest for a total of 20 minutes. FGB is 15 minutes of work with one minute of rest in between rounds for a total of 17 minutes. Total work time for each movement was 2:40 compared to 3 minutes for FGB. I thought this was a great experiment following the "constantly varied" principals. With a different rep scheme that called for less "work time" I was able to get more reps in less time. I think I'm rambling and not making sense.... Let's look at some numbers!

FGB Score: 318

FGB Time: 17 minutes (5 min round, 1 min rest, 5 min round, 1 min rest, 5 min round)

Tabata FGB Score: 354

Tabata FGB Time: 20 minutes (5 movements, 4 min tabata interval)

Average Power = (F x D)/Time

Substituting reps for (F x D), Average Power = Reps/Time

FBG: 318/1020 seconds = .312

Tabata FGB: 354/1200 seconds = .295

These numbers are not a true value for average power, but the numbers are useful in looking at and comparing the rep schemes.
