… firstly, WOW! Secondly, is it me or do other people find FF, maybe not easier exactly but definitely more enjoyable that HM?
I was dreading it following the ToS but I just finished and quite enjoyed it (or maybe it’s just relief that it’s over?)
The results look pretty good too and much closer to reality than HM which I found were either 1) demoralising ambitious or 2) insultingly easy, operator error, I assume but still…
All in all, very impressed.
If you enjoyed it, you either weren’t going hard enough, or you are a true masochist and are ready for a knighthood challenge.

+1
So, just me…? Yes?
I was reading another thread earlier that I now can’t find and someone said the ramp in HM was psychologically harder for them as they didn’t know how long it was going to go on for and I think I’d +1 that.
Takes all sorts, eh?
Most definitely. We all have our own special version of crazy.
As I’ve said in other threads, I like doing the 7 day test plan that includes a HM 3 days in and a FF on day 7. The HM sets the recommended power levels for the FF, which I do in level mode and control with cadence trying to stay just above and never drop below the recommended level. This is killer, and it’s a very solid week of workouts to boot.
You are not alone. I dread Half Monty and would rather do FF.
Definitely more enjoyable in that my mind is engaged with video and good music, but the FF is a hell of a lot harder than HM, IMO.
Yeah. I realize there’s an psychological factor, but IME FF is excruciating for far longer than HM. I get done with a HM and think, “Boy, that hurt.” I get done with the FF and can’t think.
That’s what I was trying to say, but sound cool in basically saying “at least there’s a video and the music is good” for the FF. It’s the hardest video on the entire platform IMO. brutal
There’s music and a video? I completed FF a couple of hours ago, and I think I only saw a few instructions on screen, the inside of my eyelids, and my stem. Lots of stem. 🫣:dizzy_face:
And I’m not sure my ears were functional….

…then YOU, sir, did it correctly. Brava.
Very true. What was I thinking when I opened my mouth???
“… firstly, WOW! Secondly, is it me or do other people find FF, maybe not easier exactly but definitely more enjoyable that HM?”
Maybe you ? it’s definitely not me…
congrats @NickyLeary ! Sounds like ToS raised the bar on your ability to go deep and suffer!
Keep on keepin’ on!
There’s music??? How do you hear it over all of the screaming, agony, and vomiting?
