6-30-15 HY: P90X2-P.A.P. Upper + Splits + TCF.
Took a half day off to go and attend my daughter's class basketball match. To make a long story short, I'm was a proud father!
When I got home, I got into my workout. I am a bit off my regular schedule of alternating resistance/cardio days because X2 has routines that mix the two, like yesterday, so I'm just going through the routines not really going for one style or the other. PAP Upper is not at intense as PAP Lower, but tha...t being said, the intensity of any routine is what I make it. So even though the moves, on a basic level, are not as intense, I was able to make it intense so I was really feeling it in my upper body today. In the first complex, I was unable to hold the medball plank all the way through all four rounds. The middle two rounds I had to tap out at 40 seconds. I really pushed to hold it the full minute in the final round. Same story with Superman. The Renegade Row was tough because I was using a heavy weight. Actually, only 12kgs, but it was heavy for me. I was able to almost keep up with Tony if I didn't take the rest time before the time starts. The Plyo Push ups were good. The third round Plyos were tough, but I got my second wind and the final round was strong. The second complex was good. I used the bands in lieu of regular towel pull ups. I did 20 reps instead of the 10. The burn didn't come until the final round. Got a good hot burn in the last 5 reps. I had a good time with the Medball Pikes. I was surprised at how easily I did the first round. So the subsequent rounds, I really pushed the speed. Beating out 10 reps as fast as I could with a 5kg medball killed me. LOVED IT!!! On the step up Hammer Presses, I used only 7.5kgs in the first three rounds, but amped it up to 12kgs for the final round. Good decision not to start off with that weight. But I could have maybe gone with 10kgs. I had to really push the Roller Angel. I could have just eased through it, but I really wanted to push to open up my chest.

I went right into the splits and since I had the time, I added a round so I could push even more than usual. Nice no rush workout. Really getting into each move and stretch. I also started using my push up bars so I could stay more upright. It also helped me push down more. But being more upright, I felt a little more pressure on my knees, so I need to be careful of that. Got passed my mark. YEAH!!!
The Flow was feeling really good today. No hiccups, no problems. Very solid all the way around. Just the slightest of tweaks on my right knee, but nothing of consequence. I was able to go through moderate and fast speeds with no quibs.
In the end, I torched 760+ kcals. Had a good day all around!
