Split workout today. Due to time constraints, I chose to do half of my workout in the morning, then the other half after work. I actually like that pattern, but taking two showers will not help my dry skin any, especially during winter. Also, my workout clothes will run out by Tuesday if I do that a lot. But it has to happen again this week at least two times more because of my weird schedule.
Drench in the morning was tough. My chest was still a bit sore and tight from the chest workout on Sunday. But it stretched out nicely by the halfway point. I had some tough going with the leg part again, but got though most of it without a break. This time, my breaks were only one rep in length, just enough to let the pain subside then I was back at it. It is nice to know that a set is only 4 reps. Easier to push through when I know the number.
First
time for P2 Weights 2 so it was interesting. 50 pull ups to kick it off.
OUCH! But got through it and got a great burn. Freestyle Preacher
Curls, I discovered, really work the core as well. Trying to stay
upright and pushing forward to keep form so my elbows are forward really
works the core. Another thing learned. After the pull ups and weights.
Had six sets of ab work. Felt really good. I feel like I'm getting
stronger.
The flow started of really rough. I was concentrating on balance, and the balance was great, no tipping or falling. But major brain farts with the flow. Starting the flow, I would suddenly forget what to do with my stance, or I'd forget what to do with my left hand. I even forgot which side I was starting on once. But I did one moderate flow and that reset my brain and from then everything was great. Balance was on point and I nailed it several times.
I held my lowest point yet for two minutes. Although standing up from the Straddle Splits position took me about 35 seconds. My muscles have to get used to that still. But I'm starting to get the hang of splits training, I think. But it is getting to the point where I am starting to feel like I don't want to continue training. So I need to push through and make it habit. I know it's not fun, but it is something that I have decided to do so I must carry through.
