9-22-16 HY: Combat HIIT 1 Power + Splits + TCF.

Got to bed late last night because I was trying to help my son with his computer via FaceTime.  It did not go well.  My son is, to put it mildly, technologically impaired, so some things I was telling him to try were just going way over his head and my brain had, for all intents and purposes, shut down so I was not in the best of moods.  So, that led to me getting up really late and I ended up pushing my schedule back about 90 minutes.  So my morning workout became a mid-afternoon workout and so on and so forth.  On top of all that, I woke up with some pretty sore Shoulders and Traps.  I also had a good ache/burn in my abs. YES!!!  Good way to start off the day.  Anyway, suffice it to say I got my workout done and done.

HIIT 1 Power is a good routine, but with my sore shoulders, the strength part of this routine was brutal.  Therefore, I reduced the weight by a little bit and pushed through it.  The Tracks in this routine are good, but the two tracks that KILL ME are the Strength track and the Plyo/Burpee track.  Despite the soreness, I got through the Shoulder Presses and got a good pump.  Really burned out my shoulders combined with yesterday.  The Burpee Track is always brutal.  I do the 8rep round with no problems.  The 12rep round required some extended break time, but the "2 sets of 8" round, I usually take a break between sets of 8, but today, I didn't want to take a break, I wanted to go straight through.  I also wanted to do all three levels. Level 1 is a single jump squat after the burpee. Level 2 is two Jump Squats after the Burpee, and Level three is a High Knee Power Jump after the Burpee.  After that last rep, I was dead.  But I accomplished my goal and went straight through all 16 reps with no break.  There might of been a little modification on the double jump squat with depth, but I caught a second wind and nailed out those Burpee Power Jumps.  The final Track is calm, but extremely brutal in the I am in plank most of the time.  I also added some reps to be even.  Each move I did two sets of 8.  I needed to take a "Shake out my shoulders" break after each of the four sets, and the final set of Spider push ups was my death nell.  HA!  But that extra little pump and the end.  Got through!

Definitely no abs today.  I should be okay for tomorrow to do some abs. So I went right into the Splits and I KILLED IT!!! I am so excited that I am as low as I am now on my Straddle Splits.  Side splits are still there, but since my Hammys are still a bit sore, I didn't want to pull anything as to injure myself. So I pushed as much as I could.  The Flow was on point as good as can be expected.

In the end, I torched a solid 1014kcals.  One more day and my come back week will be just a memory.
