6-27-17 (Tuesday) HY: P90X3 - The Challenge + X3 Ab Ripper + Splits + TCF.

I started the second round of X3 Resistance today.  But since there was one day already filled out on Total Synergistics, I am passing that routine and going straight to The Challenge.  So all the worksheets will be in line in the same week.  I guess I'm a little OCDish that way.  I just bugged me that that one worksheet would be off by a day.  ANYWAY...

Tony said at the beginning to up my numbers, so I did.  I was actually feeling that last time's numbers were just right, but I decided to give them a little nudge up.  So, I went with 8 Pull-Ups and 28 Push-Ups.  That is +1 and +3 respectively.  The last time I did this routine was about two weeks ago and I crushed the Pull-Ups, but I had a lot of trouble with the Push-Ups.  This time, I was able to do a lot better with regard to strength endurance.  Complete Pull-Up Sets in the first half were 4 for 4.  I was very happy about that.  I almost made it 4 for 4 on the Push-Ups, too, but on the last set the burn was too hot, so I tapped out at 21.  But I finished in only one set.  Then the reversal happened.  In the third and fourth rounds, I had to tap out on every Pull-Up set.  I was able to get up to at least 5 reps every time.  But I was able to finish my number in one pickup set not a bunch of little sets like last week with the Push-Ups.  Round 3 was good for the Push-Ups, but Round 4, not so much.  I had to tap out on both Push-Up sets but finished with one set.  I feel like I really crushed it today.  Especially the Burnout!  I was able to add two mini-sets to my 1/3 total.  Up to 11 mini-sets, up from 9 last time.  I was able to actually keep it going the whole 2+ minutes, no breaks or breathers.  But I was feeling the heavy pump from the third move on.  And when it came time for the Cooldown, I was so pumped, I couldn't straighten my arms clasping behind my back.  Pump and Burn City, People!

I upped the intensity for my abs as well.  I graduated from RevAbs Merciless Abs, and went with Tony, too.  I could feel my abs and core work, along with my shoulders, lats, and arms.  It is almost a full-body routine.  But I got my burn on especially on the last two moves.  BRUTAL STUFF!!!  The Splits and Flow were awesome.

In the end, I torched a nice 780kcals.  I was able to get everything done in just over an hour.  I'm happy to get things done in less time.
