6-8-15 HY: P90X3-Cold Start + Decelerator + Splits + TCF.

6-8-15 HY: P90X3-Cold Start + Decelerator + Splits + TCF.
Regular morning routine complete with shake and workout.
Cold Start booted me up and Tony killed me! After the Complex yesterday, I was sort of looking to do something a little less intense. With a name like Decelerator what else was I supposed to think? TOTALLY INTENSE. My shoulder still hurts so I didn't want to do any pull up work, but this had several sets. So there was no way I was doing this without the assist.... I tried the first rep for the Elevator Pull Ups without the assist and the right shoulder pain was too much so I set it up. Got a great burn with the assist. But again, the more I did, the less the pain got. But I don't want to do it like that again. There are so many awesome moves in this routine, I could write a book about it, but I'm just going to talk about one or two moves. First, Crane Cracker Push Ups. This move always gets me. But today, I was actually able to to balance a few. It felt so good, I almost took the time to take a picture... But I didn't. Maybe next time. The second move just took me out of the game. I totally ran out of gas on this one, Spinning Plyo Squat Lunges. The progression he goes through seems quite simple at first, but by the time you're 20 seconds in, you are dying. I pushed as hard as I could, but I had to stop with only 8 seconds left. I literally couldn't go one more lunge or squat. I needed an extra moment to recover before the last move. Water and Air! This was the cardio that I wanted and also added a lot of resistance for that extra burn. Great workout!
Went right into the splits, and Flow. I was able to push lower! I was very happy about that, but that lower push didn't come until the last round. I was tighter than I had thought. But my Flow was solid. Got a good sweat on. I did feel a little something in my knee, so I backed off a bit, but I am able to control my stances.
In the end, I torched almost 700kcals. Got to keep it going!
