Well, I made it through the concert. Chest and back is sore but my abs aren't--I really think I was doing it wrong! My sister's coming down this weekend so I'll have her check it out. And who knows? Maybe it'll burn tomorrow. We'll see. Here's some ramblings:
So I'm encouraged/discouraged. I know what to do now--don't overdo it in the first half. I was TOTALLY WIPED when unbeknownst to me, we were doing it all over again! I did discover that 15 pounds is also a little on the light side--the lifting portions were the easiest by FAR. I'm really baffled by how you get low on diamond pushups.
I guess I'm used to videos where you do easy little workouts in exactly the number of reps that they prescribe. I was upset at first when I wasn't getting 35 deep military pushups, but I'm really not expected to right now.
Plyo tomorrow, woo hoo!

Yeah, sounds like you might be doin it rong. No worries, I've never been a fan of these videos where they just throw you into the fire, as XhardcoreX as they may be- when I come up Friday night or Saturday, we'll go through the videos and let's see if I haven't done some of these dumb exercises before. Plyo for the win, matt. Plyo for the win.

My coach recommended that I look at it again and said that my legs were supposed to be going up at an angle. Remember that I just totally demolished my body during chest and back immediately prior to ab ribber, so that might have contributed to my failures.
ReplyDeleteYour diet's looking good! that almond milk is awesome.
I consumed more protein than I can remember yesterday. Ridiculousness.
yay kidney failure, amirite?
