2-16-17 HY: Insanity MAX 30: Friday Fight Round 1 + ChaLEAN Extreme - Extreme Core Circuit + Weights - Back + Splits + TCF.

Unlike last week, no time crunch because I got home with plenty of time to spare and use for my workout.  No one was at home when I got home, so I got right to it.

Friday Fight is the most grueling routine of this first month BY FAR!!!  Doing moves for 20 seconds, or 30 seconds is nothing compared to doing a move for 60 seconds.  Time seems to stand still on the most difficult and intense moves.  My max out time the previous two time were 8 minutes, and 11:03.  So my first goat, of course, was to get passed that point.  My next goal was to get to the first break without a break.  I'm happy to say that I NAILED BOTH GOALS!!!  I went far beyond the last time's time, and I made it to and crushed the half-way point.  Happy Happy!  I really pushed myself today, hard.  My MAX OUT time was 16:34.  The move that killed me today was the 2 Jabs & 2 Knee Tuck Jumps.  When I tried to do the first rep, my legs did the Jack move, but I couldn't even get my arms up to jab.  I was done.  But not before I totally CRUSHED IT!!!  The first move after the first break was Speed Hit the Floor.  I was actually surprised that I got through that without a break because that is usually my nemesis move.  But I crushed it today.  But I think that that move totally zapped my energy.  Now, once I hit my first MAX OUT break, my goal then becomes to complete each move.  I was so spent that I needed about 30 seconds between each move, but I completed the entire minute of each move.  But at the end of each move after the 17 minute mark, I needed a break.  The last few moves took almost a minute.  I just couldn't catch my breath.  But I was so happy to get passed my previous time. 

Again, I didn't want to go two days without doing any Abs, so I went back to an old faithful for a bonus routine.  I used the 2kg hand weights and it was burning.  Still a great routine that brings the burn.

I wasn't able to do weights the last couple of days, so I definitely had to do it today.  So today, I got the weights and the pull up bar because tonight was all about pulling.  So, I did the same mini program, 3 moves 3 sets each 12 reps per set.  The first move was Pull Ups.  The first two sets were good, but the third set was VERY tough.  On the last 8-9 reps, I had to do a lot of kipping up.  The next move was Forward Leaning Rows. I was using 12.5kgs.  That was tough.  But breathing and pulling hard got me through.  The final move was Lat Pull Overs.  The first two sets I used 14.5kgs and on the last set, I used 17kgs.  I was really focusing on activating the back.  And I really felt it on that last move with the heavy weight.

Splits and Flow were again, on point.  Got through them well.

In the end, I torched a beautiful 1355kcals.  Cardio and weights combo burns those calories!
