i think lifting killed his cardio gainz

Kind of similar yes. But the airbike can be abused in ways the crosstrainer can not - it can abuse you in seconds.

If you're referring to the seat, yeah, it takes a bit of getting used to. A bit counterintuitive, but I discovered that tilting it back tends to keep me from sliding forward into the, uh, torture tip.

I was referring to the pure intensity and overall muscle work you can put in. It is hard or next to impossible to find a tool that drains you as much as an airbike on a say per 10 seconds ratio going all out...sprinting might be second.

Agree 100%. I rarely do HIIT sessions. I prefer to stay in Z2 for the majority of my aerobic work, either on the air bike, bike trainer, row erg, or brisk walking. Riding outdoors, either mountain or road/gravel, it's tough to maintain Z2 so I just roll with whatever the terrain offers. That tends to be my Z5 training.

Amen. Assault bike is a smasher. Ski ERG, too
