4-27-16 HY: P90X3 - Cold Start + T25 - Gamma: Rip'T Up + Splits + TCF.

ShakeO to start my day!  Gassing up for the workout.  Also started with Cold Start to give myself as much of an advantage as possible for the workout today.  I had forgotten what this routine was like.  I got a rude awakening to say the least.

It started off okay, but once I got into the meat of the routine, I was fried.  On some of the weighted moves I chose a heavy weight, on some I chose a little light weight, but keeping up with Shaun T's pace for a lot of the weighted moves was near impossible, but I did my best.  Then, the introduction of a lot of new move combinations was a bit difficult.  I had to rewind to catch the move then started over again.  But the most difficult thing was Shaun T's speed of transition between moves.  He went so fast, so by the time I caught my breath and was doing the next move, time was already about half done, so I had to rewind and start with a full line of time.  The one bright spot was the Push Ups. I was very happy that I was able to keep up with Shaun T for all the push up moves at his pace.  I kind of surprised myself.  There were several moves that a guy in the back went to the pull up bar.  So I did also.  I averaged between 8-10 reps. This routine winded me so many times I can't even count.  I was so far from a Straight 25 I won't even say anything about that.  But here is the weird thing.  I didn't really get a big pump, but I got a hugely major burn.  I can't explain it in the context of the scope of the routine.  On most of the weighted moves and body weight moves I was dying and almost cramping at times, but my muscles just weren't reacting accordingly.  I mean, I got a little pump, but nothing compared to what I get with the heavy weights.  I guess that is it right there.  But with heavy weights, I burn out with fewer reps, but here, the high rep count, I though, would still give me a good pump. Lesson learned.  By the end of the routine, with all the rewinding and extra breaks, I had added about 15 minutes to the 25 minutes.  I have to get that number down.  This is my new nemesis.  But I think I have to go back and try Alpha: Total Body Circuit to get that to Straight 25 level.

Moving into the Splits was a good cool down because I was breathing hard and sweating like crazy.  Again, was able to push it low and long.  And the Flow was premium.

In the end, I torched a solid 755kcals.  Nice way to start my day.
