I messed this one up.  I have never done it so I used the guy's results from the main page as a guide.  His Tabata total was 21 and I figured he, being on the main page, would be much better than me but he wasn't.  On the pull-ups three was real easy but I was waiting to burn out on the last 2 or 3 rounds like I have done on the other tabata workout but I did not at all.  So I did one more rep than the main page guy on the squats and I could have added more than that.  I did the same with the weighted ring dips and it was harder but I think I could have done 5.  My feet lost the weight on the last round and I still had plenty of time to pick it up and do the last rep.  I did have problems with the deadlift.  At this point I decided to forget the main page guy and just go for all I could since it was the last lift anyway.  However, I forgot to put the stopwatch where I could see it on the first round so I just guessed on the time and 10 reps probably took 21 seconds.  I quickly moved the watch and had no more time to rest and started a little late so I was only able to get 8 reps going as fast as I could.  Those two rounds gassed me a little and I was only able to get 7 on the next but I was able to keep that number.  I think I can do 8 consistently next time.
