@shaneinga you will be happy to know the new toy is built for the taller guy in mind. If i was shorter than my 5’9 height. I wouldnt be able to do GHRs on them. Plus its set higher so to go reverse hypers i damn near need a step stool.

Hey, that is good to know. I just listed my concept 2 rower for sale. If I can get it sold, I will probably end up buying one of these.
Well shop around… i know several different companies are making this combo unit. I just hope i dont get buyers remorse.

Nah. I watched a lot of videos on it. 
It’s going to be good. Now I just have to find a way to get it programmed into my routine.
Think I will do it as a warm up before heading to the gym and doing my squats/deads.

Wagon wheels deadlifts: top set of 8
Hybrid RDL/Stiff leg deadlift: 2x12 @ SW.
Dynamic paused Box squat: 10x2@ 60%… love dynamic squats. Plus i want a second day of squatting in my " weekly block" these will allow more work volume without wrecking me.
Reverse hypers: 3x15… not really heavy . Working on getting the form down.
Standing cable crunched: a bunch
Actually enjoyed this session.
I figure at my current rate of weight loss im looking at another 12 weeks of dieting to be at my training weight . Of course being in this phase my recovery is shit at the moment. Once this phase is done ill switch to a reverse diet and things will hopefully take off.

I concluded psychologically i needed a change in my programming . Besides ive been doing this long enough that i know what works and doesn’t for myself. At most moving forward i might barrow shit from other system’s and implement into my programming. But in retrospect i evently i knew that i needed to own my shit.

Put mine together and tried it out. You are right about it being tall. Seems to be a great fit for me.

I got reminded today that its not worth getting into friendly debates with random people online regarding training and nutrition. It always becomes a complete shit show. Part of the issue is you have indviduals with very little practical experience but tons of info they have garnished online. They aren’t the same…
Part of this Sorta applies in a different context.
