Lord Armour does not know what a tabata is, but he assumes it's some kind of exotic weapon on a chain.
It's also:
32 intervals of 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. The intervals are broken down thus:
8 intervals of pull-ups
8 " " push-ups
8 " " sit-ups
8 " " squats
Alas, Lord Armour wussed out of the sit-ups due to a nasty rug burn on his lower back sustained during a previous bout of sit-ups.
Here's the result, in reps:
Pull-ups: 6, 4, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 (the last five involved much impotent straining and aborted ascents.)
Push-ups: 20, 16, 10, 5, 4, 5, 3, 3 (10 secs is not much recovery time. Burned out fairly quickly.)
Squats: 11, 11, 9, 10, 10, 8, 10, 11 (Lord Armour's legs did not fatigue all that quickly)
