August 11, P90X3, Week 14, Day 2 (Elite)- Complex Lower.
I'm starting to like the small set cycles. It is a lot easier to see the finish line in that style.
Today, I burned out my legs and butt. I went heavy on the the Knee Drop Squat at 34kgs. The real burn started from the second set.
The Bounding Split Squat was a tough one again. Kept the same weight as yesterday's move, 10kgsX2. I was able to keep the move clean all four sets. Although I was a bit slower than Tony's pace in the final set. This move really took it out of me.
Triple Speed Skater is sort of a recovery move for me. I am unable to do it very widely because of my limited space. So instead of going for distance, I jump for height. OUCH!!!
DS Double L is probably the most intense move in this cycle. It is actually 4 moves in one. It is my first time doing this routine so I just wanted to be safe for my back on this one with the dead lift. So I only went with 20kgs. I'll go up a bit next time I think. But just doing all those moves is really tiring.
The final move, The Stabilizer, is tough. It was actually not that bad for the first three sets, but that final set was a killer. I started to cramp on my right butt cheek so I had to lower my leg about half way, but I was able to keep my hip up.
I was SOOO thankful that there was no burn out today. I was totally spent. I'm dying to know how many calories I burned. I hope to get my new transmitter this Wednesday.
One word about the worksheets. The worksheet for Complex Lower is a bit odd. Sets 1 and 3 are fine, but sets 2 and 4 are missing the "wt." line where it should be, and it adds a "wt." line where it is not needed. Is that just me, or does everyone have that issue with this worksheet.
This is the last workout of P90X3 for me to do. I have officially done all the workouts in this program! Very happy to get through everything. Now, Just a few more weeks and I'll be totally finished the program.
Really looking forward to stretching out tomorrow! I need it!
