Just fell for (bought) the marketing for the new Angels / Nine Hammers video combo, a couple of days ago. Yay for me... Loaded up Nine Hammers, and away we went - the day after doing Blender.
I like the idea of nine hammers, but I wonder if I'm getting more from Blender. By the time the Pain Shakes roll around in blender, I'm already pretty worked and they really add the "polish" to the workout. With Nine Hammers, since I know there's nine, I'm dialing it back just a tad - even a 3-minute VO2 workout is very hard to complete.
The starts in both though are all the same - "100% NOW!!!!!!!!!!!" - what does that really mean? 100% of what I can maintain for 60 seconds, or 40, or 20, or three minutes? Is it better to really attack these "flat out" then dial back as the leg burn / max heart rate kicks in, or hit them at a level where you know you'll be at the limit at the end of the interval?
Just curious...
