W9D3, PiYo: Define Upper + SPS P3 HEAVY Weights 3 + Splits + Tai Cheng Flow.
I was wondering how long it would take for me to crave PiYo. 2 Days. I like SPS as a stand alone program, but the major thing is lacks is a warm up. So today, I did Upper Define as my warm up. Perfect warm up for an upper body heavy weight lead in.
Morning workout today because I have a late class tonight. So started the day with Shakeology. It is cold and rainy. I sat in, what we call here in Jap...an, a KOTATSU. It is sort of like a bottom heating table. There is a adjustable space heater in the table and it keeps your feet and legs toasty warm. Sitting in that thing before my workout on a cold day was a big mistake. The KOTATSU has the power to take away all motivation to do anything but sit and toast. I was so comfortable. My wife had to come and remind me that I had a workout to do. I really didn't feel like braving the cold, but once I got my HRM on, I was back to normal, ready to pump iron.

Today, only three moves, but I went heavy and heavier. 1. Squat to press, 2. Bicep curls super-setting shoulder shrugs, 3. Squats (Supposed to be Leg Presses, but I don't have the machine). All 5 sets and then to Pre-Failure. It was a heavy breathing festival today. Really tough, but got a great burn. First move, I went with 17kgs. That was killer, because I was going way down on the squats and then exploding up. First set was 12 reps, then after that, 8, then 5 out. Move 2, Started with 12kgs in each hand for one set, then upped it to 14.5kgs for the next two sets, then 15.75kgs for one set, then final set eked out 5 reps with 17kgs. Final move, I went with the 50kgs, and did 12 regular reps on the first two sets, then I slowed it way down for the last three sets, but did only 6 reps. OUCH!!! Slow reps was way more intense than the regular up and down reps. Talk about leg shake! WOO WEE!!!
The splits are just like yesterday, except for the fact that my knees are feeling it a little more today. Had to back off a bit before the push down. Once I found a good angle, things were fine. Got back to my mark, but with more pain than usual.
The Flows were great, again, it became clear that my left is much better than my right. Couldn't tell you why. My left side was pure flow, but I had a few hiccups on the right.
