SkiErg.. x-training equip

[SUPinside]

If I had access to one of these, it would be new fav for mixing in w/tabata & HIIT..
got a severe case of equipment envy at my brothers house for easter dinner last pm, when I saw his garage w/ the Concept II SkiErg, a WaterRower (which I now like better than the Concept II rower), a full rack of Kettlebells...and various other state-of-the-art toys wasted on a guy who works a thousand hours a week...wtf!?

I would have included my half-drunken demo, but looked pretty simple in easter clothes, and this girl shows the basics pretty quick.  Would really like this at my gym.

I do those very exercises with a rope attachment to a cable crossover  machine.  The one I use at the gym has a pulley system that doesn't let the weight freefall during recovery, not far off of the feeling of the concept 2 rower I use.
    I like to do a few sets of those towards the end of my workout when the major muscle groups are getting fatigued.
