9-9-15 HY: YAYOG- Intermediate Ladders + Novice Circuit + Splits + TCF,
I was feeling a lot better today because of the good sleep I had the previous night. I didn't have much sleepiness through the day so that was good. I had some time so I wanted to go a bit more intense, but not necessarily kill myself yet.
The intermediate Ladders was the perfect level. Not too long, with a matching level of intensity. It also added some strength work with push ups. The first two moves were lower body moves and totally burned out my legs. Got a good shake on. The second two moves were chest and back moves, push ups and back flies. Also, I doubled the number of reps. The ladder was simply 1-2-3-4 up and down twice for the push ups, and 2-4-6-8 for the back flies. But I doubled that and tried to do it in the same amount of time. I was dying by the end, but I was able to push through and keep up. Got a great pump and burn on.
I wasn't quite spent though so I was ready to do one more routine. The Novice Circuit was perfect because it was also quick and intense. 4 moves all at once in 4 circuits. I don't remember now what the moves were (since I'm writing this two days late) but I do remember the I started off with 14 reps for the first two circuits, then I tried to push it to at least 16 reps and higher for the last two circuits. One of the moves was Pike Push Ups and in the final circuit I pushed for 22 reps. Oh, in this routine, each move is 20 seconds with 10 seconds rest. But that rest time goes by really fast. Another move was again, Back flies. I didn't try to blast it this time because my back was somewhat burned out already. As I type, I'm slowly remembering the moves, and the first move was a burpee. 14 reps in 20 seconds was tough, but not killer. But I had to really push it to get 16 reps in the final circuit. The last move is Single Legged Deadlift. The first couple circuits were fine, but the last two were extremely tough because my lower left back was really starting to feel it. But it was a great routine to close off the main workout with.
I moved right into the splits and Flow. Again, I added time to each position so it added a total of about 3 minutes to the whole stretch for a total of 23 minutes. For the Flow... DISASTER! As I was going through the Flow, I just suddenly lost it. I totally blacked out and forgot what I was supposed to do with my hands. I tried a few times to restart, but I lost it. Total brain freeze! I ended up having to go to YouTube to watch my own video of the Flow that I posted. I had to watch it a few times to get the hand positioning I needed. I went back to the Flow and got through it, but I still felt really uncomfortable with it.
The big difference is that I'm doing my workouts on carpet so I had trouble with sliding and getting on the ground because I don't want to sweat up the carpet. Also, the little carpet fibers get on me and all over, sometimes even in my mouth so I am a bit vexed by that. But I'm pushing through it.
In the end, I torched a solid 830+kcals. Felt really good.
