A circuit I do often (that I got from Jon Alvino's how to get ripped abs, http://www.howtogetrippedabs.com/, a great product btw) is: Split seal jumps x 30 Mountain climbers x 40 Squat thrusts x 10 Rocket jumps x 5 Do as a circuit, repeat as many times as possible with as little rest as possible. This has me breathing very heavily after each set, and after 4 circuits I am done (at the moment, I am always trying to beat my time and/or increase the number of circuits). However, I am not sore the next day. HTH, Dave. I think the idea is that you keep the reps low enough so that you don’t work your muscles too hard.

But it can be modified to fit Jason's program. I am sure he will agree. But you are right you would not want to do it on all your off days as it can cause over training the muscle groups. @Gord I could be wrong but I think they are talking purely about ultimate fat loss, not a programmed geared for builking up and keeping minimal fat on.

As far as using it only for a front squat i think it depends on the person. @Dave yeah I have used it for various exercises, from jumpropes, squats, squats with shoulder presses etc. Yeah after 4 minutes you should be dead if not your not performing it how it should be.

Information broken down like a true professional. The style of training talked about in this interview has been a staple of my programs for years. Alywn makes perfect sense with his analysis.

For example, wouldn't your shoulders be bagged for presses the day after you had done a bunch of intervals with pushups thrown in? This article seems to contradict what J. Ferruggia touts ( Interval training with sprints) in Muscle Gaining Secrets. Clarity from Jason is due here I think.

He basically says that you should be almost dead after 4 minutes of tabatas. And that the only exercise to do tabatas with is the front squat. Food for thought. @Matty: I read a recent article by Dan John (I think) about tabatas. He basically says that you should be almost dead after 4 minutes of tabatas.
