I own and have enjoyed viking warrior conditioning and respect the science it contains. I also have always observed that specificity is so important. My main motivation for staying really fit these days is my job which often seems to require 45-60 second all out work periods (sprinting to a call, taking down/restraining a subject, followed by recovering as soon as possible.) the 36:36 protocol really helps me recover quick, but I have wondered if mixing 45:45 in somehow might be good for variety. It seems that beyond 45seconds I am not really doing the all out work and trying to do 45:45 with the same cadence I have been doing 36:36 for so long really kicks my butt! The amount of work it the same over 12 minutes but 45 is harder for me somehow.
Lets say you wanted to do some KB training that would help you recover faster from your 20 rep squats and that squat sets was an all out 50 second struggle. Wouldnt it make more sense to do 50:50 intervals for specificity?
Any thoughts from those who have experimented with different intervals?
Thanks!
