BB Bulk Shoulders and 22MHC Core 1
So 3 days of no workouts and I'm climbing the walls. The knee is a little better thank goodness so hopefully another few days should see it ok again - its all very strange.

Beast Up Chest, Shoulders and Tris
Energy was low today for this workout after some poor eating while hectically traveling around viewing houses yesterday caught up with me. (no workout yesterday for me either)
I got it done but I struggled a little as the weights seems heavy ;( even the push ups in the warm up were mostly on my knees as I felt that week!
But good day on the property front ;) I'm not going to say too much in case I jinx anything but things are looking positive at last!!
Was late starting my HRM too!

BBeast Build Back and Bi's
Missed my workout yesterday due to traveling for a house viewing ;( Nice property but kitchen way too small and its a little far away.
So got it done tonight thank goodness.
Legs feeling better so I did full barbell deadlifts but kept the same weights as last time but one so did the 8 rep set @ 50kg / 110lbs (much easier this time) with drop set down to 37kg / 81.5lb
Pull over I increased slightly and ez bar row upped too. Bicep curl I kept the same but I upped the last set of Hammer curls so that was good progress.
Got a crazy busy day tomorrow with 4 more house viewings so may not get my workout in tomorrow but we will see.

22 MHC Cardio 3 and P90X3 Yoga
My ying yang combo that just works!!
Things are not going so great on the property front so some real downer emotional rollercoasters today so needed Tony shouting at me to help my mood and then some calm to help balance things out again.
Trying to stay positive but some times its soooo hard when everybody chucks hurdles at you!!!

BBeast Build Back and Bi's
After a very hot and sweaty day - this was very much needed.
I was cautious on the deadlift as my hamstrings were tender from leg day so I went with Dumbell's instead of Barbell.
Pleased with the rest and reached failure on one and only just managed the heavy set of ez bar curls!!! I want my little guns to grow!!!

BOD Beast Up Legs
OMG what a BEAST of a legs workout!!
I went slightly cautious on the weights and I think now I should have gone more so!!!
The heat today has been ridiculous and I don't think that helped but I was surprised when I felt my heart really pumping in my chest during the heavy and super heavy sets of squats = 178 ooh err!!!
I have to hand it too him another great new workout by Sagi!!! I hope he does more Beast Up - its brill!!
Please pray for my legs over the next 2-3 days.

BOD Beast Up Chest, Shoulders & Tris
Started the BOD Beast Up Calendar today and this first new one was awesome - loved it. Really great workout, made me push hard with the 6 rep sets and an excellent improvement on the original beast!!! Great job Sagi!!!
Had a minor issue with my bench - it went too low for the decline press so will have to find a away to up it a little for next time.
Chest and shoulders are areas I really want to work and boy this works them like Magic!!!

P90X3 CVX
OMG - I loved this tonight!! I spent all day thinking it was The Warrior tonight and double checked and found it was CVX.
Took a little pre workout and got stuck in (after a very stressed 24 hours as my Mac died yesterday and I thought I'd lost everything! Thank god for Time machine!!) and it was tough on the shoulders but I crushed it as best as I could - phew!!!!

P90X3 The Challenge
The challenge for me and I did 10 push ups each set all on my feet (with a few breaks as needed) - major pr for me! I did 8 pull ups each round too - doing unassisted where I could and assisted as I got tired. Really pleased with my progress :)

One-on-One Patience "Hummingbird" yoga
Tried a new one tonight and really enjoyed it. Much slower pace with the poses being held for a while (think isometrics but not as bad) and it was good.
It gave me a really nice stretch out and a great recovery workout :)

P90X3 Cold Start and Total Synergistics
Had a long day again, been at our soon to be property with a building surveyor and all went pretty well. But I ate more food/flapjacks than I should have done (even though they are homemade).
Recovery week for me this week from my 8 weeks P90X hybrid so I thought I'd change things up a little and do an P90X3 week because a change is as good as a rest right???
I quite enjoyed Total Synergistics - ages since I've done it but some great moves in there ;)
That gives me this week to decide what I'm going to do next....
a) Do P90X3
b) Do Bodybeast with some extra cardio (poss try 30 days BOD Beast up Calendar)
c) Do Hammer and Chisel
d) Continue with my P90X hybrid with more X2 thrown into the mix
e) Something else like 21 day fix/extreme for longer rest then go back to weights
Any thoughts or suggestions please guys???

Body Beast Bulk Back and 22MHC Special Ops Core
Had a long but great day and finally feel I can share...... we finally got our formal mortgage offer and the sale has been agreed on the property we've been wanting and waiting on for 3 months now. So wahoo!!!!! Finally get to move to a place of our own and out of the current harassing toxic situation we are in ;) :) ;) ;)
It been a really stressful time (12 months of tireless looking and many disappointments ) and the waiting has been crazy hard but thankfully my workouts keep my sane! More stress to come I know but it will be great and so worth it when is done up - I even get my own bigger gym room with big gorgeous mirrors!!!!
My workout although later than usual went well too. Upped all my weights except the Force Set of 1 arm rows - I'm using 22.5lbs (for 5 x 5 without dropping) and the increase to 30lb is a big jump ;(
Deadlifts I upped the 8 reps set to 50kg / 110lb so yay!
Special Ops Core was tough as usual but I think I got quite a few more reps done and felt stronger through out ;)

22MHC Cardio 3 and P90X3 Yoga
This really is a great Ying yang combo - high octane pretty much non stop cardio for 22 mins then (apart from still sweating profusely) controlled movement of Yoga postures with balance and finally calm!!!
For me a wonderful way to scorch around 700 cals!!! Magic!!!
And talk about complete balance - check out my Heart rate zones - 25%, 25%, 25% and 24% with 1%!!! Couldn't have done it if I had tried lol

P90X2 Chest, Shoulders and Tri's
This made a real change tonight, I forgot what its like to do push ups and tricep dips while balancing on balls!!
Really enjoyed the strip set press - felt like my shoulders got properly woken up and got the weight spot on as almost reached failure nearly every set, just managing to straighten my arm phew ;)
The only thing this one misses is a shoulder fly so I might swop the second Circle fly for a 8-10 set of rear felt fly next time.
Had to pause for a few mins to take a phone call from Dad and another small interruption but other than all good.

P90X One-on-One Super Cardio
A new one for me tonight with One-on-One Super Cardio. I thought I would struggle with this one after watching Tony with his hands on knees for a lot of it when I watched it through before hand but it was a a breeze!
Tony clearly was suffering the day of the recording or he just wasn't as fit back in '08 as he is now!!!! I enjoyed it and while he's standing there catching his breath I'm stood there thinking 'Come on Tony!' - Who'd have thought it???? 22MHC definitely got me fitter and this was easy by comparison ;)
With DOMS from Legs and Back yesterday some of the lunge / squat sequences were ouchy but over all nice light'ish cardio day for me. Nice change and will do it again ;)

P90X Legs and Back
Hard day with a 3 hour long very heated and frustrating business meeting :( but thankfully got my workout in. Upped some of the weights and reps on pull ups so pleased overall.
