Equipment Needs
Assault Bike under front porch. Temporary home outside son’s room.
with Coach OG at the gym
The other day Coach OG offered up her barely used Assault bike for sale. She had treated herself to a Concept 2 bike, which is more frequently used in comps and is a piece of equipment she did not have access to and is a must have for her training. She put the cast off Assault bike in her car and drove it to the gym. Gym owner said he’d take it if I didn’t. I cast an eye on it and knowing she would drive it to my home, was sold. It has a beautiful black seat. I used this exact bike a lot in my Gold’s Gym days (circa 2016/17). A 100 calories for time was my go to test, data which I still have stored on simple index cards. So, I’m back at it, now under my front porch. Tested it out this afternoon with the Comp Train workout “Overdue” below:
100/80 calories Assault bike
80 ab mat sit-ups
60 step back lunges
40 box jump overs (did broad jumps)
60 step back lunges
80 ab mat sit-ups
100/80 calorie Assault bike
Complete once through, for time. A simple challenge that got me moving at 4pm but took a coons’ age. Couldn’t read the screen on bike without a light at the end and had keep stopping “How many more calories for the love of god!?” Note to self: bring a head lamp with for light deprived times. It is clear my home gym requires urgent organization. There is equipment through-out the backyard, on the front porch and now under the front porch. Missing, and a work in progress, is an inside space. To workout at home, it needs to be an easy to get into affair, not a project of first gathering up stuff and making space, which is what I currently have on my hands!
Thanks OG!
