3-01-18 (Thursday) HY: P90X3 - Cold Start + Bodyweight BEAST - Workout A + TCF + Ab EMS.

As March begins, I am officially starting my elbow rehabbing month.  I am doing this to coincide with my 2.5 week trip to the United States.  A week before I leave and a week after I get back will be just bodyweight routines and no bar work.  I exacerbated the injury in December when I did that OCR Grip Strength Challenge.  I don't regret doing it, but I probably should have stopped when the extent of the injury came clear.  But, like an a**, I had to finish it at all costs.  So, now, I'll have to really keep watch over my diet so I don't balloon up by the end of March.  During my time in the states, I will be playing a lot of Pickle-Ball.  Since I will be staying near a relative who runs a local Pickle-Ball club.  So I'll be getting in a lot of practice.  Also, I'll be eating with relatives, all of whom are vegans, so I'm thinking while I'm away, I'll be eating pretty well.  Maybe even lose some inches while I'm there.  That would be a first.  My mindset whenever I travel to the US is, "eat what I don't have in Japan."  I have always gained weight when going to the US.  Maybe this will be a new result.

Since I'm started cold, I did Cold Start to warm up, and then I got into the workout.  Here is the circuit:

1a) 10 Spiderman Push Ups
1b) 10 Deep Pause Squats (2 sec at the bottom)
1c) 5 Burpees
1d) 10 Jump Squats
1e) Side Planks (20 sec holds per)
1f) 10 Floor V Ups

I did this for 6 rounds.  When I did this before, I didn't remember my legs being this fried.  But especially on moves 1b to 1d, those just killed my legs.  The first two rounds were fine, but I really started to fatigue from the third round.  My legs felt like they were on the verge of cramping but didn't.  I was also thinking about doing an ab routine, but my core was feeling pretty spent by the end of this one, so I let good enough be. 

I did my Flow and then after the regular workout was over, I got my EMS done.

In the end, I burned a very modest 400+ kcals.  With bodyweight routines, I'm not expecting to burn a lot, and that is not the point.  I'm giving my right arm a good rest before I totally screw it up.
