I LOVE the rower for doing sprints! It’s a great piece of equipment.
I’ve only used the rower to warm up. Perhaps I’ll look at it differently next time. Tabata on a rower?? Hmmmm…
Morning!
You know what i love about your workouts? How you superset with metabolic stuff. I know I would really love that.
I’ve also never done sprints with the rower - I should!!
Molly, thanks for the info - and thanks for asking Ske 
You’re all welcome for the impending rower doom

how do you feel making a 50lb jump in the beginning sets of your DL’s?
I feel I waste too much energy ‘ramping,’ up…
Holy crap! I forget the kind of awesomeness you pull - excellent work on the DLs.
ps. did you say triple chocolate cookies? dear god!
Your deadlifts are KILLER! Nice workout.
Can you share the triple chocolate, low carb, cookie recipe?? Pretty please?
Betty’s question x 2.
That was lots of good pulling!
Masch and Rachelle- Yes, ma’am triple chocolate; unsweetened cocoa powder, cocoa nibs and semi-sweet dark chocolate chips. I’ll post the recipe later. They tasted great, we were just too lazy to beat the egg whites till they were stiff, so we lost some fluff but we still got our chocolate fix
MIM and Kimba- I usually ‘ramp’ which is the right thing to do. 50lb leaps, no bueno. But yesterday, I ate lots of food pre-workout, turned off the brain, and just went by feel. Auto-pilot is awesome.
Very impressive DLs. I would get bored if I were DLing 13 lb. too. (Just kidding. I’m sure that was a typo!)
Happy Monday!!
mmmm triple chocolate. i don’t like sweets, per se…but i love me some GOOD dark chocolate.
great work with those DLs and your damn sprints too.
MIM!!! You have no idea how much I’m lovin’ that song!!
Thank you.
awesome pulling Sky -with all that metabolic work I forgot what a beast you were- won’t do it again
cheers

Thanks, T. I’m the same way…I’m all about my chips n salty stuff but I never met dark chocolate I didn’t like
Nlmain, thank you.
Random thought- Kate Gosselin’s dancing makes my week. She makes my ironing board look like a gymnast.
