re: P90X-3/T-25/Insanity in-game thread

I feel ya on the dumbbells man. I'm trying to save up a little extra coin just to buy a few bigger ones than I have, constantly looking on CL and stuff for them, but even then they're still expensive as hell. I just try and do more reps instead. It works okay for some exercises and some not so much for others. The bands annoy me because I hate trying to change them (much like my stupid adjustable dumbbells) in the middle of a routine. Maybe it'd be better just to get a few more sets of handles so I can be super lazy and just grab the band I want like I would with a dumbbell. Hell of a lot cheaper for sure.

Tony has a one-on-one yoga routine that's about 45 minutes.

My dumbells? They are Smart something.

The one-on-one should be on the Beachbody website. They are pretty good vids. I have one and it's HARD. It's called "On One Leg".

did mmx this morning for the first time.

It was alright...the ones with combo moves plus sprawls really worked me, that was good. But I'm not wild about the kicks, and some of the moves without the sprawls just kinda felt too low intensity. I think on next week's mmx day I'll just hit the treadmill.

Incinerator this morning. This morning felt like a really good workout. Once again I did the pull-ups and everything with the assist instead of the bands. Instead of going fast for the 30 seconds I just do a pull-up and then go as slowly down as possible. By the time chin-ups rolled around I was basically just doing negatives by jumping up to the bar. Things like the crazy shoulder press push-up things that I used to not be able to do I can actually do some of now.

I also took some "30 day" pictures (I think it's technically 32 or something now) this morning. I've been doing keto since I started this latest round, so hoping that it's going to help increase the fat burning. I haven't actually compared the pictures yet but hopefully I can see a little change at least.

I'm proud of you, Doldil. Soon you'll be able to do pullups on your own completely. Eccentric V Pullups are sooooo tough.

Thanks man. I finally got a chance to look at my pictures for a comparison. I can already see the difference it's made. Mind you, these pictures are from day 1 of this round not 120 days ago when I started round 1. Still have a lot of work to do, but seeing the progress makes it that much easier to get up every day and keep pushing. I hit my goal at the end of round 1 of finally being able to do a single unassisted pull-up. Maybe I can bump that up to 5 or more by the time this 90 days is over

Nice job man. I just went through the same thing with my belt. I realized that when I tried to pull it tighter and hit the last hole, that I was actually an inch past the last hole with no where for it to go.

Nice man. Seeing the progress really helps motivate you to stick with it.

The pull up assist band is fantastic. Thinking back to P90X, the chair was terrible. I love the assist band. Can't believe I gave my wife a hard time when she bought it.

anyone done complex upper/lower? I see that those are only on the "elite" block, but the bootleg DVDs I bought from craigslist have those included on there. Are they basically just a tougher/harder version of the existing upper/lower workouts?
