2-07-17 HY: Insanity MAX 30: Tabata Power + Weights + Splits + TCF.

Got back from work late and I got right too my workout.

Fourth round of Tabata Power.  Nailed another Straight 30.  But unlike last time, I didn't feel like I was able to power through the Push Up Circuit, and I didn't feel an extra surge of energy at the end on the Speed Power Jumps.  Today, I came extremely close to maxing out on the Pop Up Push Ups.  I almost called it in on the second round.  I had to be a little more "Vocal" to summon the strength to reach the end of the 20 seconds.  But after the circuit, my shoulder and arms, especially triceps were feeling a huge hard pump.  I didn't notice that before.  I almost lost it on the Ab Circuit as well.  On the Single Leg Raise Punch, I had to modify a bit and let the stationary leg tap out on both rounds.  But on the other moves, I kept the leg that was down off the ground.  Got a good burn on that circuit.  The Triceps Circuit, for some reason, I was feeling a bit off.  On the first move with the Dip + Cross Toe Touch, I felt really off balance.  Not as stable as usual.  I made it through the whole routine, but I just felt off.  I never felt like I got that second wind.  I definitely felt it last time, but today, it was mostly a struggle.  Movement was sluggish, and I felt myself falling behind the pace all too often.  But I didn't stop, I gutted it out and made it to the end.

My Triceps were pumped and on fire.  So I wanted to balance it out, so I used 7.5kg dumbbells  and did Bicep Curls, Hammer Curls, In and Out Curls, Static Curls.  Two sets of 12.  Finally, I used 4kgs and did two sets of 30 of Speed curls.  Arms were pumped!  It felt good, though.  I may do more sets on other body parts from now on.  I enjoyed the pump and burn.

I moved into the Splits and pushed and pushed.  I feel like I'm always starting on that Plateau.  I really want to progress past that plateau, but I want to do it without tearing a muscle or tendon. Flow was clean and smooth.

In the end, I torched a modest 888kcals.  Heart rate was easier to control and get down today.
