Thanks for the feedback of rower subs everyone. Turns out I didn’t need it. Going through the CARs and barbell warm up my body was telling me to back off for the day. Chalk it up to an off night of sleep.

So I did the openers and tempo work from Fitness and rode the bike easy for 15:00. Got a sweat in, felt a little pump, and will live to fight another day.

Just curious, are rest days regularly scheduled or do they differ from week to week?

If I only have an assault bike, is there a recommended swap for the row?

Hi Ben, I normally swap 500 m row for 30 calories on the AB. It’s more or less same.

Or you could do a 400m Run in place of the row. Roughly around the same time domain.
