4-10-17 HY: Insanity MAX 30 - MAX OUT STRENGTH + Weights - Biceps + Unlock your Hip Flexors + TCF.

Today was my first official day back at work and in the classroom.  Had two classes in the afternoon and of all my classes in a week, I dislike these classes the most.  I teach English in Japan, and if there is one thing that is painfully clear, teaching student who want to learn English and teaching students who have to take English class because it is a required course in their "non-English" major so they don't like English and for the most part don't really care whether or not they learn it or not, is very different.  Today, I taught the latter type of students.  So, I basically have to take out my "Entertainer" skills just to keep them interested.  But when the admin is preventing teachers from using their creativity by imposing various regulations, it gets even more tedious.  But for the rest of the week, I get kids that at least are in school to learn English so their motivation is a lot better.  But it is extremely tiring to teach students who are uninterested from the beginning.  So when I got home, I was tired.  But I knew I was in for an intense workout so I was happy.

MAX OUT STRENGTH, Last time, I was able to break through and get past the Push-Up circuit.  Then I was able to make it all the way to the final circuit with no break.  But I eventually maxed out at 25:20.  I think that was the second move of the last circuit.  I was hoping to get all the way to the end, but to make a long story short, I didn't.  I barely made it past my first max out time a month ago of 12:26.  My MAX OUT Time today was 12:35 on Push-Up Jacks.  The same move as the first time.  I had only ten seconds left, but I just couldn't go anymore.  I was maxed out.  But this max out was more of a "Bloop" than a "Die".  As I was nearing the end of the move, I stopped for just a couple of seconds too long between reps and then that was it.  Just that extra stoppage time doomed me.  But I just couldn't keep the movement going.  My arms were just too burned out.  Then after that, I took a lot of break during the next four moves.  I was able to crush the core circuit and it turn, it crushed me.  No mid-set breaks!  But the last triceps circuit killed me again with all those Triceps Push-Ups.  So, I had to take a few more breaks and mid-set breaks.  But I made it to the end and felt the same as I have every other time I did this routine.  Arms were unbalanced.  So, before doing the cooldown, I added some Biceps weights.

I did a few extra moves today and did it based on reps instead of time like in the past.  I still used the 7.5kgs but the moves were as follows: Curls, Alt. Curls, Hammer Curls, Alt. Cross-Body Hammer Curls, Concentration Curls, Static Arm Curls, In Curls/out Hammer Curls-Out Curls/in Hammer 360 Curls, Hammer Curls, Speed Alt. Curls.  At the end of that, my arms were feeling that major pump.  Good session.

Then, I moved right into Unlock your Hip Flexors.  It has been a few days since I did the whole routine, so now, an hour plus after my workout, my hip flexors are still feeling it.  Hopefully, they are opening up.  My Flows started out well, but then I got a serious tweak in my right knee and had to adjust.  I'm going to need the brace next time for sure.

In the end, I torched a solid 1164kcals.  I hope I don't feel it too much tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed to I can finish MAX 30 tomorrow with Friday Fight Round 2.
