re: Daily CrossFit Thread: Workouts and other musings..

When do the workouts begin?

Unit PT today

12 min AMRAP
Ladder of 3-6-9-12
Air squats
Push ups
Flutter kicks x4 count
Burpees

Then after PT
20 rounds 30 secs on/30 secs off max effort on the assault bike

I got 138 cals

Get a Rogue Echo Bike.

It’s a much smoother piece of equipment than the Assault Bike and will break down less.

Both equally suck to use but the Echo doesn’t give you fake cals due to the damper. As soon as you stop peddling, it stops, no coasting cals like the AB.

15 min AMRAP

30 dubs
15 KB swing 53#
10 sit-ups

GCF always schedules a low impact around the world type of workout on the Thursday’s during the open because the gym’s workout on Friday will be the Open workouts.

A few years ago, it was like clockwork that whatever movements were programmed on Thursday, would be in the Open workout that week.

I hate that bike. Seems like the arm movements are shorter than on the AB.

I want those coasting calories! Seriously, you aren't getting "free" calories. You spent those calories building up the rpms and they only way the bike can count that calories you expended is measuring though the coast. Notice how it takes a few seconds to even measure the first .1 calories when you take off.

I agree that the arms are different. I have the Xebex air bike that is similar to the Echo. Took some getting used to after using an assault bike for so long.

I will just say this. My gym has about 12 assault bikes and 1 echo. Everyone hates being stuck with the Echo. It's a race to not be last on a bike.

I second that......it feels mush smoother and studied than the assault bike.

If I was buying one it’d the rogue echo.

My old box just sold their assault bikes and replaced with all new echos.

Well shite. Something I’m good at right out the hopper
