The Tabata interval is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest for eight intervals. For the L-sit and handstand hold, count the number of seconds maintained in the hold.
Post total reps/seconds/calories for each exercise to comments. Compare to 201105.
Scaling:
Reduce the load on the back squat to allow you to keep moving for the full 20 seconds. For the L-sit, find a variation with which you can perform at least a 20-second hold. For the ring rows, find a foot position that allows you to complete 10 consecutive reps. Moving the feet farther away will increase the difficulty. If you are unable to kick up to a handstand, select a modification that allows you to develop strength in an inverted position.

Experienced athletes should perform this benchmark workout as written. The beginner should focus on mechanics and consistency instead of loading. Warm up by adding weight slowly, ensuring the load allows you to maintain great technique. Newer athletes should ignore the touch-and-go requirement and instead take a second or two to establish a sound setup position.
