6-1-15 HY: P90X3- Cold Start + Eccentric Lower + Splits + TCF.

I was looking for a resistance workout and found a good one.  I had forgotten just how the eccentric moves were.  At the beginning, I just thought they were slow reps like in ChaLEAN Extreme, but I was in for a surprise. I was also thinking at the beginning, "What? Just 10 reps! Easy stuff!" The first move, weighted squats, started off easy, but my legs were really feeling it by the end of the set.  The next few moves were tough, groaning by the last two reps, but I was dying with the Weighted Pistol, especially on my left leg. Range of motion was just terrible, as well as balance.  Side Kicks were great, but my planted foot's glute started to cramp. I was like, OUCH!  I never thought the Front Kick was that hard, but today, I placed the weight closer to my knee instead of my hip and that made a HUGE difference. Just to keep my knee up was extremely tough. Then to follow that with the Albanian Squat. Tony is trying to kill me.  Plus, I was extremely nervous about this move that I procrastinated for about 90 seconds setting up my chair, and other equipment. Finally, I just got down to it and the pain came home.  The good kind of pain. I've been very careful with my knee so no issues there. Got some relief with the Adductor Lunges and Cross Reach, but my balance still had some problems. TT Plus, Right side good, Left side OUCH! The Bridge Kicks are my worst move of this routine. Range of motion is just terrible. I can't get my hips up worth anything. I can raise my butt only about 4-5 inches off the ground, and my raised leg is not straight up.  If I put it straight up, I would only be able to get an inch or two up. Finished up well, but I was sweating like the dickens! And my legs were totally spent. I could feel them just shaking like cold wet puppies as I descended the stairs.  The rest of the day until now, I can still feel the soreness.  AWESOME AFTER BURN!

The splits felt REALLY GREAT after that tough workout.  It was a great, super great stretch to do.  I was also able to push low, quickly.  Happy about that.  The Flow was a little tough to stay stable because my legs were shaking, but I held it together and had good Flows.

In the end, I torched over 700kcals. Plus I walked like a zombie for the rest of the day. PERFECTION!!!
