July 14, P90X3, Week 10, Day 2 (Block 3)- Eccentric Upper.

Two strength/resistance workouts in a row! Definitely not something I would want to do regularly, but due to my schedule it had to be done. Today, MMX was scheduled, but since tomorrow is a long work day and I don't have weights at my school gym, I had to do the resistance workout at home. I will do MMX tomorrow during my break. I may have to do a little more switching up later on in the week as well. But I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

I had forgotten how tough this workout was. The push up set was okay, but the pull ups and weights for the shoulder work was really tough. I took a lot longer with this workout to switch up plates on my dumbbells, too.

I was able to get through everything alright. But I may have strained my right shoulder on the Deep Swimmer's Press in the second rotation. It feels a little gimpy at the moment. So I am stretching it out as much as I can.

I was able to keep the weight at the same level as the were the last time I did this workout which was about three weeks ago. I was really happy that I could keep up with Tony on the burn out. Those eccentric pull ups are killer!

My heart was really pumping today along with my upper body. I burned over 1000kcals in this routine. The tricep work may require a little lighter weight. Especially on the kickbacks, I couldn't keep the weights up on the last three and my elbows came totally down on the last rep.

One more time before the program ends. Not sure if it is in the Elite Block, but I'll kick it then if it is.
