11-28-17 (Tuesday) HY: P90X3 - Cold Start + The Challenge + TCF.
Today is the one day between my sports days during this "special" week. So it had to be a resistance day. For some reason, I was really wanting to do The Challenge even before I looked at my options which means I had only one option for today. Since I decided to do one of the most brutal routines in X3, I knew I had to start off with Cold Start. Just to be safe.
It has been a while since I did regular Pull-Ups or Push-Ups and I was a little nervous about the numbers. So I chose numbers that I thought would be challenging and doable. 8 Pull-Ups and 25 Push-Ups.
The only fully intact round was the first round with Wide Pull-Ups and Standard Push-Ups. From the next round, the splits started. Only one, at first on the second round of Military Push-Ups, then the last two circuits were full of splits. See Below for all the splits. I kind of expected to fade on the Military Push-Ups, but I was a little surprised that I needed a split on the Wide Push-Ups. It happened only once on this worksheet, 5.5 months ago. I knew the Close Grip Pull-Ups were going to be a problem. I think I need to re-evaluate my Pull-Up form because in order for me to get full RoM, I am going all the way down to a hang, but that gets my body swinging and I can't go back up right away. By the last circuit, my arms were feeling like noodles. I surprised that I was able to get that last circuit done. Then in the burn out, I fell one short of my record of 12 rounds. I ended up with a good Flow series.
In the end, I burned 674kcals. No extras today because my arms were totally fried. I love the pump and burn I always get from this routine. I hope I'm not too sore to play tennis tomorrow.
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!
