August 27, P90X3, Week 16, Day 4 (Elite)- Complex Upper + X3 Ab Ripper.

This was the last time around for this routine in the P90X3 official program Elite schedule, so I really wanted to amp it up. So two things, I upped my weights by 1.25kgs per dumbbell and I didn't use the Pull up assist at all.

I didn't worry about keeping up with Tony on the Slow-mo Chin-Ups or the W-Pull-Ups.  As usual I did all the reps on the first round for both Ups. But I had to do a double split on them for the second round, and a triple split for the last two rounds.

I was able to kill the other three moves with no break. I really felt it again with the extra weight on the Lunge Thrust Presses.

I couldn't increase the Burnout this time around though. I stayed with what Tony did except for the Push-up Bird Dog Crunch. I did all 12.

I was really happy with this routine today.

X3 Ab Ripper, again, I tried to really push it, but I was almost totally spent when starting. No break after Complex Upper. But my nemesis moves, Dolphin Hops, Sphinx Crunch Hold, and Bridge Burners. I got further through them before cramping out. I was very happy to be able to do 5 of the Bridge Burners before I had to come down and do Lamaze breathing to relieve the pain.

I was able to almost get through all the Speed Bikes and most of the bonus reps.
