The Gooch Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Just got back to it today after a 3 day hiatus due to excessive busy-ness. This was the 2nd time I took more than one day off at a time and both times I have come back to plyo. If that doesn't jump-start you back into the program I don't know what will. This was especially tough, as I just came of a rest week so it has been awhile since my last plyo. I'll tell you guys what though, after 3 days I was having some P90X withdrawals. Feel a lot better now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel a lot better now Great to hear it, Gooch. Obviously, that is where a lot of people fall off the wagon is when they take a few days off. I did plyo last night too...sure does turn a tired body into one feeling much better....I absolutely love that workout. Tonight is going to stink. Work a 12 hour shift, come home late to catch the White Sox, and workout AFTER the game after being up since 4:15....B & B, here I come!

StrangeSox Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 Things are going much smoother (read: I actually have the cardio stamina for a full workout) in the second week. Doing p90X and a 20 mile bike ride on my "rest day" will do that, I guess. I switched over to cardio X this week because I'm not quite ready for the full plyo. Hopefully in a week or two I'll feel more comfortable with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel a lot better now This morning I had legs and back. Afterwards, I noticed that I was just feeling good. It seems like it has been a while since I felt so good and loose. I'm starting to enjoy this more and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddy Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 i haven't been able to stay consistent with my life schedule right now - having lost my real job, i've been picking up work as an extra in a bunch of tv pilots/movies and those things last ALLLLL day. I mean, I'm talking 5am to 9pm kind of all day. And afterwards you're just shot. So missed a couple last week, and may miss a couple more this week - but i'm still getting it in when i can. C+B monday and Plyo yesterday, S+A today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been off as well because of work, now I am going to the Sox games and had zero time to workout. Feeling pretty s***ty about it really. I am prob going to try and do doubles to get myself back on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Haha, I may try and do it after the game starts with the game on in the background, but nothing is getting in between me, the Sox, and JFP tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Ahh, tackled B & B with the weights tonight...you're right, Rock, that is an entirely different animal. My forearms are just gone. Again, I want to point out how solid of a workout the bands give you...I firmly believe they made me more toned than strictly working with the weights would have done. But if my body works as it should, the weights will definitely make me gain more size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gooch Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 B&B was pretty damn hard. I found myself using the chair a lot for pullups, and switching weights between sets. I love all of the different curl variations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Zelig Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 1 down, 89 to go. i am using bands, curious to see how I feel tomorrow. I've been doing pull ups the past few weeks to prepare myself, taking a minute or two break between sets. Doing them right after the push ups really cuts down on my reps, thank you chair. I don't think I got through one ab exercise without taking a break. Oh well, should only get better from here on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love that pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gooch Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 LOL I lied, I meant I that I did chest, tris, and shoulders. I just brainfarted. The decline pushup sound great right now compared to the one arms and the slow mo pushups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gooch Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Had to cut plyo short shy of halfway through because my quad tightened up on me real bad First time I haven't made it through a full plyo since week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
