Tabata Sprint Training

[MAXX]

I'm looking into this Tabata training. On t-nation, a couple people spoke of using a sprint workout using the Tabata method. Can anyone direct me to a sample of this sprint workout? Thanks!

tabata can be done on any cardio,skiping,punchbag,bike,tradmill,
its just 20secs all out then 10 secs rest repeat 8 times total 4mins.

so pushups/body squats for tabata alternating them every 30 seconds is a valid option?

Yeah, I checked those out originally buzz, before I came across the info on Ross' site. I just wanted to confirm that the sprinting followed the same routine. Thanks!

I’ve done something like this.
Just something I played about with.

Instead of doing sets and reps.
I did 5 sets of 25seconds.

But I don’t agree with only 10 secs rest. You'll be achieving maximum tension thru exhaustion rather than heavy resistance. And that’s not how you build big strong muscles.
