May 21, 201313 yr Author Max Interval Circuit just kicked my backside! I'm smiling 'cuz I love it! :lol2: I'll get up early tomorrow and do max interval plyo. Then I may not get back to it for 2 or 3 days, until all the houseguests leave.
May 21, 201313 yr Cardio recovery completed tonight Was tough but well worth doing. The week you are scheduled to do the cardio recovery max for a whole week did you do it for the whole week? Went and weighed in today using the scales at mom's place, which weighs her the same weight as the doctors scales. Started 226 First weigh in 216 2nd weigh in 207.5 I see no difference and can't feel good until the size 34's fit me, from there I am shooting for my size 32's.
May 22, 201313 yr Author I did about 3 days of the max cardio recovery before I moved on. It's a nice steady workout, but I wanted to kick it up to the next level. You will do the max cardio recovery workout again on the easy days of month 2. Awesome job on the weight loss! Something I think about is what am I going to do in about 2 weeks when I'm finished with Insanity? I know that Shawn T had the T25 workout which looks intriguing. But I think what I might do is start Insanity again from the beginning. Those 40 minute workouts will be nice and easier on the schedule than the 60 minute workouts. Plus I would really push myself harder, jump higher, etc, the second time around, since I'm in better shape and I know the moves. Or maybe I would switch off and alternate month 1 and month 2 workouts---hard days and harder days. :lol2:
May 22, 201313 yr When my brother and I decided to do this, we decided to do it the first time and take a week off and then do it all again.
May 22, 201313 yr Author Got through max interval plyo. Yesterday I slipped and did something to my big toe. Actually it's the joint just below the big toe. But I kept on doing my thing. This morning that area is swolen and starting to turn blue. And starting to hurt. So I had to do some improvising in the drills. Actually the exercises that are the most bothered by it are the Level 1 drills where you move your feet in and out, and so much balance and pressure is on the toes.
May 22, 201313 yr Hit the gym today will do insanity later. Did 7 things for my triceps all two sets of 15 4 things for my abs 2 for one set of thirty 1 for one set of thirty and one for three songs that played(This one is very easy using a machine called the ab-bench 1 for my back for one set of thirty.
May 23, 201313 yr Cardio Power completed feeling good. I wasn't as tired as the last time I tackled this beast, but I had rubber legs at the end of the tape.
May 23, 201313 yr Did bench 5/3/1 this morning. Got 225 for 3 reps. Did dips and close grip bench for assistance work. Threw in a few sets of 20 on dumbbell shoulder press.
May 23, 201313 yr I woke up and did day 2 of the second phase of this sprint workout that I'm doing. I hope that nobody was watching. I am so slow now. Deadlift deload today and then doing the bodybuilding phase for my back. Cardio cranks up next week through vacation. Doing 2 three day blocks w/ a day off in between 1st block Day one -Sprint///Day 2 lift (AM-PM same body parts)///Day 3 Insanity (Plyo centered) 2nd block Day one- lift (Am-PM same body parts)///Day 2 cardio (sprint/Insanity however it falls)///Day 3 Lift (Am-PM same body parts) I'm going to lift the same body parts in the morning and the evening since I'll only be lifting them every 4th-6th day depending on when it rotates through. Example is next Tuesday AM: 5/3/1 Press 5x10 Bench Press (50% max) 5x 10 T-Bar Row (50% max) PM: 30 sec. b/n sets Must get 25 reps. The weight is going to be my 5 rep max, so it should take 6 sets or more per exercise. Incline Press (horizontal Pushing) Barbell Row (horizontal Pulling) Reverse Grip shoulder Press (vertical Push) Pullups (vertical Pulling)
May 24, 201313 yr Day 20 in the books and it was much easier again, though the legs were rubber and the calfes were on fire. The weight is funny Mom's scales that is even with the doctors scales she goes to weighs me at 207.5 The gym scales has me at 212 and the scales my brother and I just purchased has me at 216.3.:banghead:
May 24, 201313 yr So i got roped in to doing "Fran" today for the first time ever. 4:30 was my time. I finished a little over an hour ago and my lungs are still burning a bit. Probably the worst decision of the week.

Probably the worst decision of the week. Very nice time. I've been doing crossfit since last Feb and I have managed to avoid doing it. I hate thrusters more then just about anything.
