Couldn’t get a good night of sleep. So just rowing for today. Primary conditioning looks fun, maybe I’ll give it a shot on Monday if feeling good. Rowing endurance option Aimed for 2:00/1:58/1:56/1:54 each 500 m Played with pulling strength vs stroke per minute. First round: 7:47.1 kept 29 s/m (lungs burning, I’m used to row at this rate) Second round: 7:46.1 started at 20 s/m and finished at 23 s/m (legs and butt killed me, but I felt a better connection with the rower) Third round: 7:43.7 started at 24 and finished at 28 s/m (very hard to calibrate… Read more »

I have been itching to do grace, it’s my favorite workout. The bike before it killed the vibe a little but it was really good for me today! Very tough today not just physically but mentally too. Yes fun but challenging!

Need to get better at barbell cicling and buy better collars, hate when I have to stop to secure the bumpers again. Any recommendations? Thanks

1. You rest two minutes after each set then on completion of all sets of the same movement you transition to the next exercise. Rest between exercises is at your discretion but shouldn’t be longer than 5 minutes 2. Rest as needed means you rest until fully recovered. eg Three sets of: Weighted Sorenson Hold x 15-20 seconds Rest as needed Hollow Rocks x 20 reps Rest as needed You’ll perform, Weighted Sorenson Hold x 15-20 seconds Rest until you feel ready to perform the next movement Hollow Rocks x 20 reps Rest until you feel ready to perform the… Read more »
