    B 15 min tech work with ring hspu, first time trying those
    C easy @ bodyweight
    D1 last set tough
    D2 last set tough, left psoas tightens up

    ring HSPU were an eyeopener for me, much like the airdyne was and that is why i love this shit, constantly new stuff to learn and get good at.

    155x16, 165x2, 170x1, 185x1

    Way over estimated my fitness and strength level today. This really started to hurt after round 1. I was expecting to get much higher on the weight, and not expecting to have to break the pull ups so often.

    Did a tabata bike yesterday. Resting the rest of day.

    Part 1

    A: 190
    B: subbed 10" depth HSPU(I tried ring HSPU and they just weren't happening)
    C: UB
    D1: UB
    D2: UB

    Part 2

    Cals/ Cals/hr

    1: 36/2160

    My airdyne is from the 70s so I'm not sure if this is even cals. It keeps track of something but its not labeled. I just multipled the cals by 60 for the cals/hr I'm not sure if these # are accurate.

  33. @ SJ
    If you set up the intervals on your rower, then after you are done you can hit rerow, find your workout and then hit the information button to review. Once in you can change the units to find watts, metres, cals/hr etc.

    Hope that works for you,
