So…
Much more fun than expected. The cable machine ‘climb’ seemed like a decent sub. Felt easy in the first round but was really challenging by the last one. Focussed on staying tight and going as deep as possible in the HSPU – and had a marked improvement there compared to last time I did those. Tried to keep the runs fast and hard. 17.5 on the treadmill was a challenge.
Things that slowed me down:
All HSPU sets were broken – 2 + 2 + 1
Cable ‘climbs’ were broken from round 2
Had to wait for the treadmill to come up to speed
All in all though, happy with the progress in the HSPUs and with the cable sub and the general intensity of the workout.
