X3 Eccentric Upper & Triometrics

Eccentric Upper and I managed to get to my pull up bar today and OMG that was tough. Those slow 3 counts really burn those muscles out fast.

I chased it with Triometrics and with a bit more room I could go for it a little more and I was toasty toast by then end!!!

Great total body smash up.

Cold / Sinusitis and finally X3 Triometrics and Yoga

I've been out of commission for over a week with cold / sinusitis that actually felt like mild flu grrrr and today I finally feel like I'm back in the land of the living - thank goodness!!!

X3 Triometrics to get my 2nd week of Rnd 2 of phase 2 of X3 back on track - but I didn't go crazy - enjoyed though and it felt good to get the blood pumping after all the sitting and stiffness from rest rest and more rest. Watched a few good films though :)

Chased it with X3 Yoga for a good stretch out.

Here's to staying healthy from here on in!!!

Everyone is still crushing it I see - Great job!!!!

P90X3 Triometrics & T25 Core Speed

P90X3 Triometrics and chased it with T25 Core Speed. Had to take a couple of breathers but pushed through and loved it 😊

My HR app just would not give my my graph tonight  grrrr

LIIFT4 Chest and tris, X3 triometrics, Shouders Intervals, Legs

Sunday was LIIFT4 Chest and tris 50/50 from wk3 and I swopped out the hiit section for X3 triometrics.
Chest and tris was tough as always especially the tricep push ups at the end.
Triometrics is always fun with Tony, I enjoy the extra leg work but that kablam section at the ends still burns lol 😜

Monday rested and yesterday was LIIFT4 Shoulders Intervals. Got my weights back to where they were before my weak week but my shoulders don’t seem to be progressing as well as I would like, especially in the overhead press ☹️
Felt my chest Dom’s too in those darn swimmers 😨

Today was LIIFT4 Legs 50/50 (wk 5) and increased on Front squat but weights at sides again. Sumo squat up to 50lbs/22kg which I felt. Increased rear alt lunges up to 2 x 8kg / 17.5lbs and oh yes I felt that one too lol.
I was toast for the hit section, those sumo jumps I could hardly get off the ground and had to modify to keep moving 😳 and although I’m no fan of triple bears I think I’m slowly getting better at them or rather my shoulders are allowing me to stay up for longer and I actually managed the full 30 secs in the last set through sheer grit and determination 😛.

Catch up

Thursday was LIIFT 4 Rnd 2 Day 4 Shoulders Intervals and was going to be T25 Core Speed but 5 mins in we had the floods out - literally water everywhere in the warehouse from an overflowing leaf filled gutter!. So I spent the next hour (almost out of range my phone for HR) carrying buckets of water, mopping up water etc etc.....nightmare but a good workout all the same lol.

Rested Friday with a crazy day taking dogs to the vets.

Sat was LIIFT 4 R2 Wk2 D1 Chest and Tricep Circuit - wow I was toast when I was done. Those quad sets are still brutal.

Sunday was LIIFT 4 R2 Wk2 D2 Back & Biceps 50/50 but I only did the first 50, then when straight into X3 Triometrics and then switched back to L4 for the core finisher and it was lol.

Working out on different days is taking some getting used to but doing Sat and Sun when I have more time and usually do a lot less activity makes sense. Also means I get to spend a bit more time working in the week which keeps the boss happy lol.

Keep pushing play everyone!!!!

LIIFT 4 Rnd 2 Wk 1 Day 1 Chest and Tri's 50/50 but subbed HIIT portion for X3 Triometrics

Had some rest and itching to get back to it so I'm starting Round 2 of L4 today, with a few of my own tweaks and cardio swops :)

L4 Chest and Tris 50/50 but I subbed in X3 Triometrics for the HIIT portion - loved it!

Feels great to be back working out again after 4 long days of nothing. I needed the rest I know but it doesn't make it easier lol
I've definitely put on a bit of fluff during the last week or so, eating too many choc brownies and doing very little so here's to getting rid of it and more plus building more muscle and getting stronger!

Yesterday P90X3 Eccentric Upper and today Triometrics

Late posting with crazy stuff going on :(

Yesterday was P90X3 Eccentric Upper and it was brutal! I originally planned to go light weight through and then heavy up second time but I was short on time and so went middle of the road with weights based on last time worksheets (Feb 17)...but as I got stuck it.... boy it was tough!

So I decided not to be silly and just did it once because at the end I was DONE!!!!

Woke up to find doms in most of my upper body lol

Late morning I managed to squeeze in some X3 Triometrics - loved it as usual :)

On a side note - I updated my adobe flash player and hey presto the play buttons not show up and BOD works properly again in a browser. Thank goodness.

P90X3 Triometrics & CX Works 24

I needed my Tony H fix today so Triometrics was the chosen one.

Great leg/glute burner and wow its amazing how you can loose the finesse in those balance moves when you haven't done any in a while!

Chased it with CX Works 24 and some moves being similar but with weight made it just burn that little bit more lol.

Great core and glute combo readyier for 80 Day!

CX Works 24.

Warm up of Leg lifts and crunches sure get you warm fast.
Hover with weird push up move, in to bear crawl legs.
Onto back for leg extentions.
Standing strength with side lunge band rotations then round the worlds
Single leg weighted deadlifts with single leg weighted bridge chaser.
Oblique legs and then into Cross Crawls.
Squat with triple o/head presses.
All fours banded row with leg lifts and row pulses, with rear fly pulls and pulses and lat pulls and pulses.

I used a 5kg plate for all weighted work. Great for Deadlifts and Bridges but Squat press were tough after a load yesterday in BodyPump. - Stick to it next time though ;)
I used the double band for the lunges rotations and round the world but it was tough on the shoulders, maybe try single band with foot about 3rd down next time for slightly less resistance to give better range of motion.

P90X3 Triometrics

Still not 100% as I couldn't face breakfast again this morning but with low energy levels I had a protein shake instead. (Not Shakology as I've noow sent mine back )

Not enough energy reserves for Plyo X but I did give Triometrics a good bash ;) Didn't do all the jumping parts and modified where I needed to but still got a good sweat one, worked that booty, got HR up and didnt pass out so I think thats a good day considering.

P90X3 Triometrics and Yoga

P90X3 Triometrics chased with X3 Yoga.

Pushed hard and did it the best I ever have I think ;) and nice Yoga to stretch and calm afterwards.

Early night for me tonight zzzzzzzzz's

P90X3 Triometrics, 22MHC Core 1 and Cardio 1

I did my triple whammy again today but swopped them round lol. So I did 22MHC Cardio 1 (burpees with hands on tool box - closer to the floor than last week for my back), straight into Core 1 (major improvements ie I got all the reps this week wahoo!) and then finished with P90X3 Triometrics OMG!!

Loved it!!

I can't believe the improvements I'm seeing week to week at the moment. I always knew this was how its supposed to be but for so many years I haven't been eating correctly for my body that it wasn't fueling me properly. It's like a whole new world has opened up for me.

P90X3 Triometrics, 22MHC Core 1 and Cardio 1

Traded in Plyo X for a triple whammy lol

P90X3 Triometrics and phew what a quad burner that one is towards the end, straight into 22MHC Core 1 to wake my core up again. I was pleasantly suprised with my reps ;)
Then as if that wasn't enough I went straight into Cardio 1 and burnt a few more calories. The run,lunge, squat sequence was especially tough after triometrics but hey what doesn't kill you makes you stronger right?

Loved it!!

Oh yeah and I modified the burpees with hands on the arms of the arm chair just being (maybe overly) cautious with my back.

P90X3 Triometrics

Woweee I forgot how tough P90X3's Triometrics one can be!
It's surprising how quickly you can loose you finesse with balance and your cardio shape too.

I struggled with oxygen in places but really enjoyed it.
I don't think I fueled my body well enough for it though. That one slice of linseed and oat bread with dinner was just not enough but I'm still learning with my new work schedule so I will know for next time.

Barstarzz PreProgram Wk 3-1 & X3 Triometrics

Start of Week 3 of Preprogram and skills was negative chin ups - I used my rip 60 straps again as it will be another couple of weeks till I get my gym set up and proper chin up bar to use. My numbers increased from 13 to 16 of good slow negatives ;)

Workout was 1 pull up then pull up with 5 secs hold at the top, middle and the bottom (think elevator pull ups but the lift only goes down) followed by10 push ups - rest for 1 min then rnd 2 was 2 pull ups then pull up with 5 secs hold at the top, middle and the bottom followed by10 push ups then rnd 3 was 3 pull ups with with holds etc up to 10 and 10 push ups!

My push ups surprised me today, I'm clearly getting stronger and faster - this stuff really works!

Chased it with X3 Triometrics for some cardio with good glute /quad work built in lol.

P90X3 Triometrics

Crazy day yesterday with the workmen in the house for 10 hours!!!! But they got the new shower screen fitted, gas pipe laid, the dishwasher plumbed in, the airbrick fitted and the leaking wash basin fixed. They also left some bodges which I'm disappointed with but thats life I guess.

Out most of the day today shopping but managed to get a little something done today before the electrician came round to see about more sockets.

So Triometrics it was and phew - it's still a quad burner!!!

P90X3 Triometrics & 22MHC Core 2

Wowser still a really great workout and such a leg burner OMG!!! Got a little further through Kalam tonight but still crashed and burned before the end Ouchy!!!

Core 2 was tough tonight too, not sure I'll ever get all the reps but we keep trying ;)

P90X3 Triometrics & P90X2 Ab Ripper

Wow Triometrics - I really forgot what great little workout this is! I thought after doing Interval X+ a few times I would find this fairy easy but how wrong I was.

I was doing great till the last move Kalam and I was done, the screaming from my legs made me stop - I couldn't complete it well at all. I took a few breath and kept going best I could but man my legs were fried!!!!

Interval X+ is a great cardio workout but Triometrics is a leg burner and hits so many different parts of the leg too while working on your balance too - all in 30 mins!!!!!

Anyone who hasn't tried this one they should!!

I chased it with Ab ripper and boy that woke those abs up too phew!!!

P90X3 Agility X & Triometrics

P90X3 Agility X & Triometrics

Fancied a change to plyometrics today so did double X3 and phew they work yer!!

Had great fun and got a great burn too ;)

P90X3 Triometrics + LM Pump FLow

X3 Triometrics + LM Pump FLow

Triometrics was fun tonight, it's a while since I've done it and I rather enjoyed it.

I can now see why Shaun T fans find Tony's cardio stuff a little lame by comparison, I've not even done the full first week yet of T25 and even I was going come Tony stop gassing and move on lol Who'd have thought it  

Nice little bit of yoga and stretching was good straight after, although I did have to keep wiping the sweat so that I could see 

P90X Triometrics

X3 Triometrics

This was good tonight still really tough at the end but it's an enjoyable workout!
Major Quad burner!!!!
