August 24, P90X3, Week 16, Day 1 (Elite)- Complex Upper + X3 Ab Ripper + 3 hours recreational swimming.

I was planning on doing my workout in the early afternoon, but unbeknownst to me, my afternoon was already planned. Around noon, I was told that I was going to be taking my daughter swimming at the big swimming resort in the city. So I had to get going on my workout to finish in time to leave.
I was determined to keep up with Tony and team today. I nailed it! I was totally dying at the end of Complex Upper. I didn't keep up with all the moves, but I didn't take any extra breaks and I had to make up time by shortening the breaks. 

The first 12 Slow-Mo Chin-Ups were awesome in the first set. I felt good. Then for the subsequent sets, I lowered it to an 8-4 split for the next three sets. I usually get in a 4-4-4 split, but today was better. The same goes for the W Pull-Ups, no 4-4-4 split. I had to stop after 8 because my lat are BURNING!!!

I felt really strong with the X-Plyo Push-Ups. Hammered them out every set. As well as the 12 Lunge Thrust Press. Non-stop Burn.

The final move, Push-Up Bird Dog Crunch, I felt really good and I really had the feel for my balance today.  The final set, though, as always was KILLER! Tony is MEAN!!! Unless you've done Complex Upper you won't understand why, but if you've done it. I'm sure you agree.

X3 Ab Ripper was a bang from the start. As always, move 4, Sphinx Crunch Hold killed me after the first four reps. I had to come down. Couldn't hold the plank the whole time. But the worst move is move 7, Bridge Burners. I just can't keep the the boat position past the third rep. That is such a killer move at the second to last move is the worst. I have not been able to hold boat all the way through the once yet. I think I'm a ways off from that yet, but I'm hoping to get there eventually.

I made it through all 100 of the Speed Bike, but I could not do the bonus slow ten all the way without a tap out. But I did eventually do all the bonus.

Burned over 800kcals!

Had a quick lunch and went swimming with my daughter. Running from attraction to attraction, from pool to pool, slide to slide, we had a blast for 3+ hours. It even rained while we were there and that was one of my daughter's dreams, to play in a heavy rain. It was great!
