This is my first post here but have been following for a while. Thanks for this site, it made my crossfit experince so much better. This is the second time I do Tabata and I am wondering about the scores. On the FAQ page and anywhere they talk about this, they always say to keep the lowest number in a given exercise and keep that as your score. But, you guys just add everything. I was just wondering why that was?
Well, next weekend we put a pull up bar in the yard. My gym is closed on Sundays. Had no way to even really sub anything good for pullups so. So, I just did tabada running instead. not sure how I would score that. Probablys hould have counted the meters but I didn’t
Anyway, on the rest, 62 pushups, 72 situps and 102 squats. 136. I know my pushups would have been less if I had done pullups instead of running.
Sidenote- learned Kipping pullups today! it helped a lot, now i just have to work on the technique to perfect it. coming down from the kip didn’t feel as i think it should. but progress is being made!
Puppy scale
Complete 16 intervals of 20 seconds of work followed by ten seconds of rest where the first 4 intervals are pull-ups, the second 4 are push-ups, the third 4 intervals are sit-ups, and finally, the last 4 intervals are squats. There is no rest between exercises.
