June 22, P90X3, Week 7, Day 1- Eccentric Upper.

Had an awesome workout today. Really tried to push myself to as close to my limit as possible. I may have burned out a little early on the Chin Ups. hehe. I upped my weight on a few of the moves that I haven't upped yet. The reason for the decision to push it hard is because this is the last week for this rotation. Next week is another transition week then Block 3.

For the Military Press, I had to go down last week, but today, I went back up to 17kgs. I was able to keep better form than the first week 1. I also upped the Deep Swimmer's Press by 1.25kgs. Upped Lateral/Anterior Raise by 1.25kgs. The Pterodactyl Flys also went up, but I think 1.25kgs was too much. I was able to get the dumbbell up, but the nature weight of the dumbbell forced the weight down before I could start the Eccentric move. I assume that if I can't hold the weight at the top of the concentric move isometrically, the weight is too heavy. Is that right? The same thing happened with the Rocket Launcher Kickback. Upped that move by 1.25kgs, but couldn't hold the weight at the top isometrically after the fourth rep. I was able to up the Kneeling Preacher Curl to 12kgs.

All the other moves were regular. But the Chin ups, The previous two weeks, I had to split the 10 rep count. But today, I did 10 straight. Or I should say that I stayed on the bar and did 10 straight. I did hang and breathe a couple times at the end, but I did 10 without coming off the bar. Also, the Burnout, I couldn't complete it last week, but this week I hung with Tony for all the reps. I may have cheated a little on the last pull up. Not sure if I got all the way up over the bar. Vaulter pull ups also had a split in the second set. But I had to come off the bar once and so I did one extra. I did a 4-2 split.

At the end of the workout, my arms were tingling and shaking. What an awesome workout! I hope everyone is having a great weekend! Let's bring it this week, eh!
