Technique to Innoculate Yourself against DOMS

Once again, this is from a discussion elsewhere.  I first noticed this a long time ago when combining weight work with bodyweight conditioning, and later on, a guy named Robb Wolf (of NorCal S&C and Crossfit) mentioned noticing the same thing.

Innoculate yourself from excessive DOMs by performing, early in your training week (or at least ~2 days before the exercise you are worrying about causing excessive DOMS), a round of tabata exercise. 

Squat DOMS?  Tabata squats (bodyweight works well)
Bench DOMS?  Tabata push ups
Pull DOMS?  Trickier, but tabata kb swings seem to do the trick, sometimes.

If you haven't done it before, or regularly, tabata style work will cause considerable DOMS itself., but after you are used to it, you will notice significantly less DOMS after heavy training.  If you start your training week on Monday, then some quick tabata work on Sunday or Saturday (as an extra workout...and Saturday might even be more preferable to Sunday) is probably where you should start.
