1-18-18 (Thursday) HY: P90X3 - Cold Start + Body Weight BEAST, Workout B + A40 Core Routine + TCF + Ab EMS.
No night class tonight, so I was free to take my time with my workout. I am still giving the Body Weight BEAST a try so I'm going to stick with it for at least the rest of this month while sticking a ChaLEAN Extreme routine in where I can. The plan is for one of them tomorrow. I wasn't able to do the Anabolic stretch afterward like I wanted to because I didn't have the time to read enough about it, but I have some free time tomorrow so I'm going to bone up on it and then give it a try, hopefully.
Today, Workout B was up and this one was really tough the last time. So much so that I wasn't even able to finish the whole routine. Today, I was determined to finish no matter what, and I did. But I wasn't able to do it straight through. I was able to do the first Circuit with no break. I was able to keep the time for all ten rounds and I was going all out. Even though the moves are easy, I started to feel those inner thighs burn at the end. The last time I did this routine, my inner thighs were toasted for at least four days. Hopefully I will be able to recovery much quicker this time around. I took a few minutes to recover before starting the second circuit. I felt good, but I needed the break after the 10th round, and then one more break after the 17th round. Then, I just knocked out those last three rounds. I was stoked! The Eccentric Pull-Ups are brutal. The last round before each break, I was breaking form. I was flaring my elbows way too much on especially the last rep. But I was very happy that I was able to get through all 20 rounds.
I wanted to get in a little burning abs, so I did the A40 Core routine. The recommended number of round is three rounds, but I ended up doing 4 rounds. Next time, I'll get in 5 rounds so I can cut at a straight 200 total reps. But the progression of the moves is a real killer. In the second round, my abs were burning on the second move. The moves are simple, but the progression is killer. I was burning from the second round to the end.
I was bushed, so I took my shower and then got in my Flow and and EMS in the evening.
In the end, I burned 925 kcals. Again surprised that I got that good a burn. But I did have a moment where my heart-rate was topping out at 200+bpm, probably during the Eccentric Pull-Ups. Next time, one less break. Going for it.
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!
