12-07-17 (Thursday) HY: P90X3 - Cold Start + 12 Days of Fitmas Challenge (12 DoFC) Day 3 + OCR Dead Hang Challenge (DHC) + TCF + P90X3 - Eccentric Upper + Ab EMS.
Quite an odd day today. As you can see, the order of my workout is somewhat out of whack. The reason is this; everything started out normally. As I was getting ready to start my workout, I turned on my computer and got Cold Start running and I was following along. Then a notification popped up on the monitor asking me if I wanted to update something. Since I was moving, I couldn't see what it was really asking. So, at the end of Cold Start, I just clicked "YES". Then the process started. I didn't think it would take too long, but then I realized that it was updating my whole OS, and it ended up taking almost half an hour. During that time, I did the 3 moves (Side Plank, Skaters, and the new one, Plyo Lunges). The new move, Plyo Lunges, really worked my glutes. In the time, I got 40+ reps per side. Good lower body work. Balancing my upper body workout. I got my Dead Hang in as well. Went for 2 minutes today. I tried to use towels to pad my hands, but it didn't work as I had envisioned it. Even though the towels were on the existing padding, it was still too slippery, and I ended up ditching the towels after my first tap out. My grip just gave out, especially on my right side, the side I thought was my stronger side. But it turns out that I have more burn in the right forearm than the left. Anyway, the split was as follows in seconds: 60-30-20-10. Those last 5 seconds were the most brutal thus far. The OS Update was still going on after all that so I decided to do my Flow series as well. Everything was fine, but no computer. I didn't have the time to mess around, so I just started the routine on my own.
Major changes from last time have to do with the Pull-Ups. Last time I used a ladder to rest my feet on, but this time, I went with the green assistance band, and it was great. Doing a workout in silence is not really fun at all. I was able to remember all the moves, except move 3. Military Press. I wasn't sure if that was on my back like a chest press, or something else. So I just went with a Chest Press and I upped the weight to 14.5kgs. Everything went as before, in straight sets that were reps of 10. I was on move 10. Staggered Push-Ups when the upload finally finished. So, I got the DVD running. I did the Tony warm up at the beginning, then I jumped the DVD to the next move, move 11. Lateral/Anterior Raise. On the worksheet, I changed the notation of some move reps. On moves that were previously "10" and now "5-5", basically that means that it was a move where one leg/foot was in front of the other in a lunge stance. I did 5 reps with the right leg forward, and then 5 reps with the left leg forward. That worked out my lower body as well. I was really feeling pumped after this workout. I felt the 40% gains. Huge pump and burn. Felt good to start my day with an intense workout.
In the evening, I got my Ab EMS in. I was skeptical, but I'm slowly becoming a believer.
In the end, I burned 792kcals. A little disappointed that I couldn't hit that 800 mark, but I know there are other more important things to consider.
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!
