Another vacation day and another day of doing practically nothing.  I did get out of the house though.  Once to pick up my daughter who had gone up north with her Field Hockey team to play in the national tournament as a representative of the southern block of Japan.  Unfortunately they got taken out in the first round so they came home early.  But good for my wife and I because after our son left, home was very quiet.

I got started with my workout in the early evening as usual.  I knew it was going to be a shorter workout because no abs.  But with that in mind, I chose to do some extra stretching at the end.  I was really curious as to how far I would go on this routine because that first Push Up circuit is just a killer circuit.  The first two circuits went fine as usual, the warm up and the leg power circuits are my stronger circuits.  My previous two max out times were 11:38 and 12:36.  Basically I maxing out on the first and second moves respectively.  Today, I was able to extend that to the third move.  My MAX OUT Time was 13:10.  Just like most of the guys on Shaun T's team, Push Up Pop Up was the move of the day.  It took out several of those big guys.  So I was happy to get to their level... sort of.  I almost maxed out at the second move like last week, but I gutted out those last 5-seconds.  Arms were rubber.  I barely got half a rep in on the third move before I collapsed.  It was excruciatingly brutal, but I made it through.  The rest of the routine was okay.  The core circuit was tough, but not because of the core moves, but because of the plank moves that tasked my shoulders.  Shoulders were burning with all those Pike Up moves.  But it was a good routine.

I started the Unlock routine and pushed to the point of being afraid I would rip a tendon or muscle.  So I had to take it back a bit. Then when that was done, I did my regular Splits routine and again, the hip flexor pain was a lot less.  So I am seeing progress, not where I would like to see it, but progress none the less.  The Flows were on point.

In the end, after 150 minutes, I torched a good 833kcal.  Feel the burn and embrace the PUMP!
