HIIT - Windgates - 5 cycles

MISC

Not sure if it was the high volume or the AgmaGen but my pump was out of this world. Almost painful lol - Probably a combination of both!

First time doing cardio this prep and I wanted to die. Typical.

Do you have access to a windgate bike?

I think the pump is from the high volume mostly.
You are not adapted to that yet...

I like that it and the cardio is kinda kicking your butt..It will help make a better you come show day.

Shredded beyond belief!

[deltpecx]

Zero offseason cardio. The struggle is real!
...

You must unlearn what you have learned.
You learning anything..


This is of the one reasons I kept doing cardio....

Modified windgates. (Spin bike)

Also, by doing no cardio in the offseason that is the first tool we can use versus lowering cals drastically

[jpfaherty]

Feel you on this one. I get to a point where I think the cardio is getting easier, and then get dominated like I did this morning.

lol it sucks, all the time. I've come to accept that.

Tried stair master for the first time yesterday.. Did 5 minutes & felt like crying/dying

Switched to treadmill walking

#brbfindingmybawls

Stair master not even once. Eff that noise lol

[demonwareltd]

For real! Brb - stair master for 45 mins or sprint around the track for 15. Come on man, funk dat!

[wrkoutfrq]

OMG WINGATES........ I loved them at the start of prep, but I'm not gonna lie they suck pretty hard right now........ Is that going to be your primary HIIT form or is Matt cool with you switching it up for things like parachute sprints, treadmill sprints, etc?

We haven't really talked about it too much just yet. Initial protocol only has one session of cardio and it's windgates. I'm sure I'll have options moving forward. Gotta put my Rogue sled to use!!

What are WINGATES??

See video below...

Basically 1:35 of moderate pedaling on low setting, then crank the setting to almost max and all out sprint standing up for 25 seconds. Repeat.

15s make me want to vomit just thinking about it. No thanks, Jeffrey.

Solid workout though. Straight to the point...no fluff.

High reps squats are killer. Ever try a 20 rep set? Heart is pounding after that one.
