Day 31 Report - P90x Insanity Weight Lifting Hybrid Program

     I was still feeling some soreness in my chest from mondays chest routines (day 29). Nice. Two days later! I did my HYBRID Abs Routine today. I didn't get as many pumps on the WEIGHTED V-UP ROLL routine as I would have liked. I simply missed counted. So instead of 10 pumps it was 4 pumps. The next day I noticed my abs weren't as sore as when I had done this same routine the week before on Day 25. The difference inthe WEIGHTED V-UP ROLL up routines made all the difference in soreness. I'll kick it up a knotch next week and go for 8-10 pumps. I love that routine!
    Back and Bicep that night. Wrist felt good. I made sure I focused on not bending them or injuring them on each press/pump. The key was to really grip the dumbbells tight. Once I started doing that the stress on my wrist seemed to be greatly reduced and the pumps were way more intense. Love learning! Change is where it's at!
    Pull ups didn't go so well, so I reduced back down to 5lb weighted backpack, and on some just did them plain, but SUPER SLOW.
    Still not liking the new adjustable dumbbells on bicep nights. Great for benching with, but not so much for biceps. I got them for around $169.00 from Academy Sports. It could be that it is the fact that they are to wide. They tend to brush my sides when doing curls and such which I don't like. This maybe true for any adjustable I get.
    Did'nt like my performance on pull ups with 5lb weightin backpack. Will either reduce usage further or leave same and see next set of pull ups.

Day 29 Report - P90x Insanity Weight Lifting Hybrid Program

     First day back into weight training after the P90X rest week. I think I have found the sweet spot for doing bench work with dumbells on Chest/Shoulders/Triceps. The only bench work I did was incline dumbbell presses, dumbbell presses and dumbbell flys. I also did dips with a 35lb dumbbell in my lap. I did the unmodified ab-ripper x. My abs were still sore from the previous weeks weighted ab routines I do. So I took it slow. Creating a bench is easy. Just need two chairs and a solid piece of wood. Yeah, not the best but it worked for me when I started. I went to ACADEMY sports and bought a bench for situps and use it. It was only $29.99. I just prop one end up with a chair for flat bench, and for incline I just put it on the floor and sit at one end. Great for decline, just be careful with your balancing.

Day 13 & 14 Report - P90x Insanity Weight Lifting Hybrid Program

Took the second rest day off the week on Day 13. Man do I feel like I need them. Not feeling to shabby. Not getting enough sleep is the real problem at this point. Between this and BeachBody Coaching and giving 110% in everything I do(family, work, coaching, fitness, etc.) makes for a very long day and very short night. :) I wouldn't change a thing!
Day 14 was cardio day. I LOVE THE INSANITY AB ROUTINE! No situps or crunches, just straight up leg extensions. Made me feel like I started Ab-Ripper X day 1.
Gaining weight pretty rapidly. Think I need to back off my cals by about 200 cals and see how the weight goes.
Measurements are tomorrow morning. Time to prep for next weeks set of routines. I'll post the sets tomorrow too.

Day 7 Report - P90x Insanity Weight Lifting Hybrid Program

Did my modified 1 hour ab ripper x with weight workout this morning. Had to modify a few routines and made some workout sheets for it. Did a good bit of research on the top 10 ab routines based on some lab studies. Very interesting stuff. Subtracted a few routines to reduce repetatvie work and save time. Want it under an hour for sure if not more. Want the biggest bang for the buck.
That was followed up by a tough round of INSANITY PLYO! Because I'm doing p90x chest routines followed up by another night/day of pure bench routines, I do all INSANITY pushups on my knees.
I am also modifying the routines to squeeze as much rest out of yoga-x/cardio recovery combined with two days to rest. I'm creating a weekly plan that allows for as much rest as possible. So I will rearrange the days those accordingly. I'm going for mass as much as possible.
So far I have subbed in bench for all p90x pushups, based on the type of push ups. Use a backpack with weights in it for all pull ups. I also do things like put a dumbbell in my lap for dips. For legs and back, I used as much weight as possible for dips, and thus reduced the number. This will help with mass on my legs. Just have to be careful not to stress the knees out.
