8-10-17 (Thursday) HY: P90X3 - Complex Lower + P90X2 - X2 Ab Ripper + Arm Shaper + TCF.
Well, I got home a little earlier than planned so I figured I could get a full workout in, but I kind of poopooed around and ended up not being able to get in my Splits training, but I got everything else.
With all the Tennis and Pickle-Ball I was playing in the last month or so, I haven't really done much resistance work on my legs, so I thought that on my final resistance day of the week, I would take a whack at it. This routine, like the Incinerator yesterday, hasn't been done for a month, so I was happy to dust it off and do it today. My legs didn't feel as strong as I would like them to be, so I didn't change anything from last time. Weights stayed the same, and since the reps are pre-determined my Tony, they were all the same in each complex. They just got harder and I got more and more tired. I was able to crush the first two rounds, but when the third round came around, I was feeling it in my legs. That "almost-going-to-cramp" feeling started to raise its ugly head. But I powered through but went at slightly a slower pace. So, to keep up with Tony, I cut my rest time a bit. I was sweating like a pig by the final rep on The Stabilizer rolled around, and as usual, my glutes were SCREAMING!!!
I was glad to get in some arm work. Only three moves today, but lots or reps. 50 Push-Ups then forward and Reverse Arm Circles. I really wanted to do the Push-Ups in one set, so I went hard and I barely made it to 50 reps. My arms were on FIRE!!! Just regular Arm circles would have been to easy, so to amp it up some, I grabbed a couple 1kg hand weights and held on to them. I got to 50 reps Forward fine, but I only got to 30 reps on the Reverse before the burn too intense so I had to tap out. I had to tap out one more time after that. Talk about being ON FIRE!!!
I needed a Flow after that! So the Flow series ended my workout in perfect fashion.
In the end, I torched a nice 850+kcals. A lot for such a short time. Almost done the week!!!
Welcome to the new direction for this blog. In it, I will post my experiences and thoughts related to the sport of Pickleball and my efforts to grow Pickleball in the Prefecture of Kagoshima located in the southernmost tip of mainland Japan. I hope to post pictures and videos of the activities and events that are held in Kagoshima. And one day, hopefully, you will come and play some Pickleball with us! Please comment if you visit!
