Vo2Max intervals erg as written or resistance and hammer

That is just where my head is. I have little doubt its more effective for that workout. Wondering from those who do it if it just blows you up so badly the next 2 workouts are trash and so overall its a net negative. General feel for how much it seemed to help/hurt, etc. So is it really a net positive and is it worth what is likely quite a lot more miserable workout experience.
