Day 54 (Week 8.5)

Legs and Back. Still sticking to classic schedule. The trick will be plyo. Freaking stretchy band broke today. So have to figure out how to fix it. One green band is not enough resistance. I am finding with a lot of the balance type moves I do better on the concrete than my padded floor. Too much padding with shoes and the mats and its too soft and harder to balance. This should help with some of the trickier ones like balance lunges, and sneaky lunges, etc.

Day 53 (Week 8.4)


Worried I would be super sore today so I did yoga last night. Turns out not horrible. I was worried about thighs being sore from Plyo, but turns out its sore calves. Now the question is will I get Kenpo out of the way tonight, or leave it for Saturday. Would be nice to have two days off in a row.....

Day 52 (Week 8.3)


Shoulders & Arms today. Went ahead and did Ab Ripper right after. Made it through without any crashing. Was actually able to improve my Week 3 reps/weights on several exercises. With Plyo last night and this routine this morning I am thinking I may do Yoga tonight in case I am super sore tomorrow. :) The one downside of classic is I am back to the back to back combo of legs&back with Kenpo.

Day 51 (Week 8.2)


Plyo X day. Actually my knees started bothering me a bit and I think its due to shoes + thick inserts + padded floor. Ie, to much flex. About halfway through I got rid of the shoes and just worked out barefoot. Was much better surprisingly. I gues with the padded floor I have I can get away without shoes even for jumping. I need to work on the gap jumps though. I can't figure out how to to the "straight guy" version yet. :)

Day 50 (Week 8.1)


OMFG, Chest and Back is brutal. All pushups and pullups. So much pain. Made it through barely. Left Ab ripper for the evening. Gonna try classic schedule for phase 3. Biggest concern is knees with Plyo.

Day 48 (Week 7.6)


Cardio day. Nice to have an easier workout then day off back to back. Still on the fence about lean or classic for phase 3.
