Unless it says otherwise, running start as per Akis technique.  Get to it.

With the 30/60/90 ones do you have to keep it going as fast as you can for that length of time?  I lost my instruction booklet  :-[

You have to get as many revs as you can in the time.  Going faster for longer helps  :P

I would be ruder to you, had I not just been pacified by that uber cute monkey up there :P

I still don't get it though, if my high score is over 9000 and I do that in about 15 seconds doesn't that mean I'll get higher in 30 seconds...  :-\

No I've just realised, the other one is speed not amount, I think  :-[

You kind of have it.
Consider it this way.
The 30 second- you are trying to get as many revolutions in a 30s period.
Fastest score- you are trying to get as many revolutions in a 1s period ie Max rpm.

So, with the strength programs you need to get the ball to rotate as many times in 30s etc as possible.  You can do this either by blasting to max revs resting for a few seconds then repeating (Edouard or Burst method).  Alternatively you can maintain a constant speed for the whole time.
Personally, I go all out constantly for the 30s but use burst for 60 and 90.

I hope that makes sense now?   :lol:

Your physio needs to pump more iron and do less ironing.   ::)

Excelent Jenn, soon you will crush!

I looked like Popeye this morning in my desperate attempt to up my PB, no luck so far though.

Good news from your physio, you might not be actually helping but at least you're not doing any Powerball damage  ;D

1  Load it to photobucket

2  When uploaded click the box under the pic.

3  Scroll to bottom of page and click generate HTML code box on the far R.

4  Copy and paste all of it to your post.  No need to click on the image icon when making your post as the brackets plus img waffle is instantly generated by p/bucket.

Piss.
