About Tabata Something Else
Tabata Something Else is four consecutive Tabata intervals (pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups and air squats) with no rest between the movements. Each is eight rounds of twenty seconds of maximum-effort work and ten seconds of rest, and your score is the total number of reps across all thirty-two intervals.
Thirty-two intervals, one continuous score
A standard Tabata is four minutes. Four of them back to back is sixteen minutes of work at an interval structure designed to be near-maximal, which is why this workout is far harder than the format suggests. Crucially, the scoring is total reps rather than lowest round, so there is no single catastrophic interval that ruins your score, but there is also nowhere to hide, because every one of the thirty-two intervals contributes.

Find a number and repeat it
The reliable strategy is to pick a rep target per interval that you can hit eight times and then hit it exactly, rather than going to failure in interval one and watching the count fall away. An athlete who does eight straight sets of eight pull-ups scores sixty-four; an athlete who opens with fifteen and finishes with threes rarely clears fifty. Ten seconds is enough rest to reset your hands and almost nothing else, so plan to be back on the bar before the beep rather than after it. Squats are where the biggest numbers are available, so save enough legs to actually use that.
What's a good Tabata Something Else score
The traditional benchmark is a total above five hundred, and that is a genuinely strong score, elite athletes clear six hundred. Four hundred to five hundred is a good competitive result and most consistent athletes land between two-fifty and four hundred. Because the format is fixed and the movements need no equipment beyond a bar, it is one of the best re-tests in training: the same sixteen minutes, six months apart, gives you a directly comparable number.
