Diversifying training with longer, slower cardio alongside Tabata or using Blood Flow Restriction with weightlifting can provide lactate benefits while also diversifying the training stimulus.

“so my point is like you could diversify the training a little bit and if you're still because again you'd still get that lactate hit but you'd also be diversifying the training um because I do think performance it's hard to make the performance gains if you're really doing an all-out Tabata five days a week I think that is hard performance gains are you talking about within the Tabata itself in other words it's hard to make gains on the power output that you want to be generating because that's when you're doing 20 on 10 off right you're you're trying to get as much power as you can in those 20 seconds um and that those are those are what we call match burning workouts like you're you're you're burning all the matches that day”
