Tabata Squats
Good Morning (as defined in WIKIPEDIA):
The movement of the Good Morning exercise resembles bowing to greet someone "good morning". It involves the hamstrings but is primarily used to strengthen the lower back.
The degree of knee bend used will change the focus. Keeping the legs nearly straight involves the hamstrings most.
The good-morning is an essential exercise in the Westside Barbell method and is often trained to near limit maximums. Developing strength in the lift aids in the recovery of a "bad" squat, reducing the risk of injury. Properly applied, it can also strengthen an individual's deadlift; for this reason, it is a key exercise in the conjugate method of training this lift.
In Olympic weightlifting, the good-morning is used as the most efficient assistance exercise to train the second phase of the clean or snatch pull and bases of squat positions in snatch drops and clean squat positions. In this variation, the lifter will descend, reverse direction, and accelerate the ascent, rising up onto the toes at the conclusion of the lift. This mimics the rapid hip extension and subsequent toe-rise during the clean and jerk or snatch.

I couldn't make it to the box today, but I managed to fit in some Tabata squats (my first ever Tabata anything). Here's how it ended up:
