6-3-15 HY: P90X3-Cold Start + Eccentric Upper + Splits + TCF.
Regular morning workout routine, complete with my shake!
I was a little wary about this routine because the other Eccentric routine was so tough. Rightfully so. It was a good thing I did Cold Start because I needed the extra warm up.

In this routine, the three move set is something that I really like. It gives me the ability to push harder because I know exactly when the break is coming. The dumbbell move and the push ups were fine. The pull up in eccentric mode is a killer. 4-5 sets of different grip pull ups would be fine, but doing them eccentrically is too tough for me at this time. I was able to do the first set of regular pull ups fine, and I got through about 4 of the chin ups, but then I burned out. I went back and started over again but with the pull up assist band. The rest of the pull ups were with the pull up assist. I could have just pumped them out, but that eccentric style, WOW! I can see how that would increase the muscle tension by 40%. So my question is this, "If eccentric moves are 40% more effective, why do anything else?" if not for just the variety, wouldn't it be wiser to just do eccentric workouts? But I got an AWESOME Pump and Burn! Just this routine coupled with cold start, I torched over 500kcals. But again, some of the transitions were just too fast, especially after the pull ups, I would most of the time take an extra 10-20 seconds to recover.
Went right into splits and I had to push it hard. I have plateaued at my lowest mark, so maybe next week, I'll push for even lower. The Flow was also solid. Still needing to watch my stance separation and length. Also that litmus testing still haunts me. But I'm getting it slowly and surely. Got to love the journey.
Great workout! In the end, I torched almost 900kcals. I wondering if I'm going to feel it tomorrow. Either way, tomorrow is yoga day so I'm happy for that!
