Primary Conditioning Session
GG Qualifier
A: 7:08 Rx’d. Could have pushed this harder. Was not sure how to attack so I just went thru it. The bike should have been quicker and should shoot for two sets and better pace on burpees. Looking forward to hitting this one again.
B: 13:28 Rx’d. Slow. Felt very heavy. Gymnastics may need some attention soon.

Strength and rowing tonight.

How does the Airfit compare to the assault bike?

Reply to  Tino Marini

The AirFit bike is air resistance only so there’s no bearing resistance like the assault bike. In order to reach the same RPM on the AirFit, you need to increase the revolutions (# of times you are pedaling) so it appears it may be more difficult to move the levers and it seems like the calories don’t tick as fast, but not by an exponential amount.

Scaled interval 2 to 6 muscles up only because strict are something I don’t really have as of currently.
Only did 3 rounds, totally gassed mental and physically from work this week, started this part at about 9:15pm. Silver lining, did all sets of MU unbroken so I’m improving there.

Strength Accessory:

Making it a point to hit at least one part of accessory stuff each day.

pm session: I was feeling pretty wiped from the off season conditioning this morning. Do people generally adjust their macros on days with workouts like this? (usually wednesdays that is… lol) I felt like I didn’t have enough food before the second workout.. so I just did the strength accessory and skipped rowing endurance. A. 30 lbs on the reverse hyper, 95 and then 85 lbs barbell (back rack) for bulgarian squats. Tricep extension done B. banded, with higher resistance band than last week C. 8 lbs for the complex, all 3 sets D. skipped added some weighted pull-ups and… Read more »

adding more carbs right after first workout/right before second workout or in general during the day? I am trying to get 120g protein, 190g carbs and around 40g fat. Usually getting pretty close, but I tend to eat more fat and less carbs than I want to at the end of the day. (bodyweight 120lbs)

Tino Marini

I’d up your carbs to around 220-230. 190 isn’t a lot whatsoever. You gotta be eating to recover and get stronger

thanks tino! I usually eat 40 g carbs after each workout. Would you suggest it matters where I add these extra 30-40 grams of carbs during the day? should I just eat more post workout or pre workout or in general?

Off-season conditioning

1. Done? Lol. Was glad to finish all the assault bike rounds in under 1:50 seconds each time. Getting better at the bike. The wall ball round was completed around 1:05 everytime. Wasn’t too demolished after this. Good stuff.

My last final is tomorrow then I’m free ?.

Great day though, felt good
