The only thing better than a bad day is a worse day. Although I have data with which to compare performances my determination of what is good and/or bad is largely based on perceived exertion or how I feel. There may some validity to this but there also may not be. Who truly knows what is going on inside my body. I may be doing right but by the same reasoning I may be doing wrong. This is what makes this endeavor so interesting and keeps us coming back. This is probably the only endeavor that allows us the luxury of being both participant and observer or scientist and subject.
Tabata is the perfect tempo for engorging your muscles with blood until they become useless. I personally hit a brick wall after a few sets on certain exercises; hence, huge rep gaps on push ups for example. The extreme blood shift usually results in a painful headache that feels like a vice grip stretched from one temple to the other. It's almost worthing inducing just to experience the relief of its demise. I found the handstand to be an almost instant cure for it.
