6-25-15 HY: P90X2-Chest+Back+Balance + ChaLEAN Extreme-Ab Burner + Splits + TCF.
Morning start. Felt good waking up and downing my shake.
Resistance day. I was considering doing P90X-Core Synergistics because I still didn't want to do pull ups. But I bit the bullet and went with the X2 routine and decided to use resistance bands like the modifier does on the pull ups. I used the highest resistance bands I have, but I've been using them for a while and they are a bit loose, o...r so I thought. The tension ended up being just right for the injured shoulder, and a real burner for my left shoulder. I got a burn on the last few reps that felt different from the usual pull up burn. It seemed to be hitting a different muscle that I don't normally use, or I don't hit as hard on the bar. But my right shoulder was really getting a good workout, or as much as can be had with that type of condition. Sort of going through the pain of rehab. But pull ups is the only move that I can't do with it. But the push ups and whatever else, I'm totally fine with. The balance moves are killer! The Impossible/Possible was not possible at first. I just couldn't get my ball position right and I kept slipping off when I would go down. But once I found the right position, I was able to knock off 7 reps. It was just so much harder on the ball than on the floor. Also, Since I have only one med-ball, the moves that require two or more balls, I'd modify. On some moves I'd use my foam roller under my hands and feet on the one med-ball. In the second round, the toughest move was the Elevated Stability Ball Push Up. I just couldn't keep stable on the stability ball. My feet kept rolling off. Finally, I had to stabalize the ball by pushing it up against my steel rack so it wouldn't move. Hopefully I can graduate from that when my core strength is better. Finally in the bonus moves, Chattarocker killed me. I could only do 8, in two sets of 4. At the end of the workout, I was just spent, but I felt energized. Also, it was odd, but I didn't feel as "PUMPED" as I usually do with a resistance workout, but I felt harder. It's difficult to explain, but the pump is a different sensation entirely. I got the hard body feeling today.

I didn't have a lot of time plus, I had already done a lot of core work, so I went with Ab burner. And I got my usual burn, but I was able to hang more with Chalean and crew. Getting stronger!
I had a late class and I was a bit late so I didn't get to do my splits and Flow until later that night. But when I warmed up with the ballistic stuff from Tai Cheng's Neural Reboot, the stretches weren't as tight as I thought they'd be. I was actually able to go down a bit more and push the mark some. And my Flow, again, was strong and solid. No HRM with this part of the workout.
After the morning workout, I torched a solid 700kcals. Would have definitely been close to 800 had the workout been in one shot. But I'm glad to have gotten it in.
