Week 4 Report - P90x Insanity Weight Lifting Hybrid Program

Going into week 4 now. This is the rest week for p90x. P90x rest week is typically light cardio with yoga twice a week. Insanity's rest week is next week on week 5. I like the thought of taking one week of cardio to reduce some of the fat I've gained. That means this week is pure cardio of the HIIT. I also am still recovering from last weeks forearm pain. I was bending my wrists too much during my barbbell bench routines. Lesson learned. So all in all I think this will workout well. This will make up 3 tough weeks of very HIIT cardio with p90x resistance and one additional day of chest/trap weight lifting. Feels like a good fit.
I will keep week 4 simple and stick to the INSANITY week 4 routines as specified by the program. I'm really liking INSANITY.

Overall Report:
My overall measurments are up. My forearms went from 11.5" in begining to 12.2" now. That .7". That's awesome! My chest started at 36.5" now it's at 37.45". That's .95" gained! My starting body fat was at 13.9% and is now 14.615%. Since my body fat has increased I am assuming much of this is fat. Typically if you gain 1 pound of muscle in a week your doing great! My abs are'nt as defined as before. That's to be expected in gaining mass. This week shoud shed some of it. Just have to make sure I take enough proteins to ward of muscle loss. Don't let the fear of disapearing abs frighten you into not bulking and ruin your gains.
