I like the Seduza too but the added cost didn't really feel worth it to me when I pedaled both around the LBS's lot.<br /><br />I have been trying to read everythng possible about Tri bikes and all the review say it is about fit. The QR Tequilo seems to fit good. However, alot of people are big fans of the Cevelo P2. It is only a couple hundred more than the Tequilo and the reviews are outstanding. I am going to check one out on Monday evening downtown. I figure I better try it out before I make a decision.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061773215250783439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-260346025770493512009-08-09T12:09:24.585-05:002009-08-09T12:09:24.585-05:00Steve, Yes it is difficult figuring out what weigh...Steve, Yes it is difficult figuring out what weights to use? I was shooting for 8-10 reps, but sometimes ended up doing 15-20 b/c the weight was too light. I plan on increasing the weight quite a bit as I move through the 90 days. But, as Boomer has mentioned, I can't go too heavy because it is counter-productive to triathlon training.

Almost all the moves can be replaced with weights. Btw, when Tony does decline pushups, it is actually incline bench. <br /><br />Also, I sometimes use the barbell bench at the gym instead of dumbell benches. I can sometimes get through the routine faster when doing it with Tony and the kids on the video.<br /><br />So... windshields wipers. They are fantastic for the core. Yeah, Steve is turning us on to some great routines. Also, try to work in cable pulldown crunches after you get ARX back into the bag.<br /><br />Which Quintana Roo model are you considering?Boomerhttp://www.projectexercise.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-63456861240819923142009-08-08T17:01:17.580-05:002009-08-08T17:01:17.580-05:00Jeff: You made me laugh with that description of ...Jeff: You made me laugh with that description of hanging upside down for the wipers! LOL!! I'm ashamed to say it, but I still haven't done these. Now you guys have shamed me into doing them...but do them, I shall.<br /><br />Good to hear that the weights and lat machine worked for you. One trick I had to learn was finding the right weight to get 8-10 reps. It took me a week or two to: A. learn which weight to use, and B. have it loaded and ready to go. Sometimes I was scrambling to set the pin in the weight stack and fell behind, but all in all, it was worth it.<br /><br />I think its Shoulders and Arms where the fun really kicks in. Using cables for tricep kickbacks and one-arm "throw the bombs" were blasters! My tri's loved those moves!Boxcarvibehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14403267379168255742noreply@blogger.com
