Got a lot of sleep the previous night. Felt really good today. Was able to get my workout in in the morning so I was happy about that.
I was able to get through all the moves relatively well with a good struggle on the last few reps. I was able to up my weight on about half the moves by 1.25 - 2.5kgs. But I found that when I went deeper into the lunge or squat and increased my range of motion, after the eccentric 3-count the explosive move was not as fast in the first couple inches. But once I cleared the 90 degree angle, I could explode. My question is this, on the eccentric workouts, should I reduce my weights so I can explode the concentric move, or should I keep my weights heavy and work up to that explosiveness?
The first three moves, I went from 17KgsX2 to 19.5kgsX2. The next three
moves I stayed at 10Kgs. From then on, I went up and kept the weights a
few times.
I accidentally did the Cross Reach wrong. I held the weight in the wrong hand. I noticed when the move switched to the left so I just kept the mistake and will fix it next week. The Hip Flexor Splits is still somewhat of an enigma to me. I'm afraid to use the push up stands because mine might break under my weight. Also, it sort of looks like Tony is sitting on the stands, but from different camera angles it looks like he is supporting his weight with his arms. For now, I've been doing that move on the floor.
The Side Kick move seems easy, but getting my leg up there is so tough. I can't get it much higher than parallel to the ground. I tried today, and my butt almost cramped up so I let it down a bit. It is weird, but when I have my right leg up, my left butt-cheek feels like it is getting more of a workout. Is it supposed to be that way?
My range of motion on the front kick is just terrible. I can't get my leg anywhere near parallel to the ground when extended plus the weight. My hip flexors need a lot of work along with my hammys.
Great workout today. I'm so thankful that this routine is only 13 moves. I don't know how much more I could take.
Have a great day!
