June 15, P90X3, Week 6, Day 1-Eccentric Upper.

June 15, P90X3, Week 6, Day 1-Eccentric Upper.

The question today was not if I would do my workout, rather, how long I would put it off. My human nature took over a little this morning. Last week was tough and my body didn't want to feel that pain again, but my body knew that I needed it so the internal battle was on from the morning. I usually would have started around 9am, but I poopooed around for a long time wasting time. Finally I asked my wife, "Should I do my workout now, or in the afternoon?" Her immediate answer, "NOW!". So, with that kick in the butt, I prepared and did my workout. I was very pressed for time now, because we were planning to go out for shopping and a Father's Day celebration at 12pm. I finished my workout and was ready to go at 12:20pm. Late, but luckily everything worked out.

The workout was as expected, HARD, TOUGH, GRUELING! I started with Cold Start as usual and I really need this every time. It is a great warm up.

There were ups and downs in this workout as compared with last week's workout. Like last week, I made it through all the push up variations with the struggle on the last few. I had to lower my weight per my notation from last week for the Military Press. Went down to 15.75kgs from 17kgs. Still had a struggle with the last few, but I was able to keep my form a lot more stable. No arching my back.
I also went down on two other moves, with the Rocket Launcher Kickback, I went down to 5kgs from 7.5kgs. It was still really tough on the last few. Then with the next move, Flip Flop Combo, I went down to 10kgs from 12kgs. Again, I still had to struggle on the last few, but kept good form, or should I say better form.

I had a bigger split with my Chin Ups, Last week I did an 8-2 split. This week, I did a 6-4 split.
The one up was on the last move, Kneeling Preacher Curl. I went up from 7.5kgs to 10kgs. I think It was a too big a jump. I couldn't get the weights all the way up on the last two reps. I put the weights down before the 10th, then on the 10th, almost got it all the way up, but just missed the mark.
I was able to get through the whole Burnout last week, but I couldn't get through the last doubles set this week. My arms were just burned out. Got a great burn today. I totally felt the heat in the following couple hours.

Hope all had a great Father's Day!

Was a little "Sinful" when we went out for Father's Day! Had some sweets and some pizza. But also got a lot of good stuff, too. When I got back home, I played some catch with my daughter for about 45 minutes. Worked up a good sweat and burned off some of the previous meals stuff.
