Putting the knee through its paces

I was thinking today that my knee really hasn't been bothering me very much. So I decided to see just how hard I could push it with a pretty massive tabata set. I wanted to do something substantial for a workout but I really didn't have the time.

Feel free to see if you can best my numbers (I'm willing to bet you can't):

Squats: 26 - 26 - 24 - 24- 25 - 25 - 26 - 26 (202)
Box jumps on a brick wall 22" high: 10 - 10 - 10 - 10 - 10 - 10 - 10 - 12 (82)
Sumo squats: 25 - 25 - 27 - 28 - 27 - 29 - 30 - 30 (221)
Calf raises: 33 - 30 - 26 - 26 - 29 - 28 - 28 - 31 (231)

Total number: 736

Then I threw in 50 diamond push-ups with the diamond at my head.

25 minutes later we have TBF

(218)

Without the weight.

so, what is the difference between it and regular squats? the width of the base? the obtuse angle of the feet?

when i obliterate your "numbers", i want to make sure i don't cheat.

btw, since you're willing to bet, what will i win?

It works a different part of your legs, specifically the abductor vs. just the glute and hamstrings. Feet are pointed slightly outward and the wider base causes the working of the different part of the legs.

Watch out for the calf raises. My calves are still killing me.
