Day 8 Report - P90x Insanity Weight Lifting Hybrid Program

ARGH! Missed my insanity workout this a.m. My alarm decided sabotage my workout! Oh, well. Did P90x Chest/Back later that night. Again, subbed out certain push ups for what I consider a cooresponding bench routine. I upped my weight about 5lbs on most all the bench routines, and kept that 5lb weight in the backpack for all the pull ups again. Got some Life Smart adjustable 50lb dumbbells from Academy Sports. They were 179.99 and I had a $10 off coupon. They tend to rotate in my hands when I'm benching. Didn't care for that to much. I hoping I will get used to them they save a ton of space.
Was one of the best at home chest workouts I've had. The whole thing took 1:11 minutes to complete. I could have done it under an hour but I paused a few times to give my forearms a rest.
Taking Day 9 off from both p90x and Insanity. Going to flush out the rest of the hybrid week out. Have to base it off of gaining mass and getting the required rest. I'm targeting mass on three primary areas in this order. Chest, Traps, and Lats. Chest days should be followed by the most rest. I plan on doing chest twice a week. One p90x version with bench substitution, and one regualar bench workout 4 days later. Post more tomorrow when I have it all flushed out. I'll also post last weeks routines.

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.

Day 3 Report - P90x Insanity Weight Lifting Hybrid Program

Changed up Shoulder/Arms today. On all the 16 reps required ones I did the least amount of weight possible. Just enough to get a burn. These sets, in my mind, are meant to be for sculpting and possible fat burning. So by doing so, it allows me to bring it on the other exercises. Yeah, this may seem apparent to some, but I was really able to bring it because of that.
On the dips I put heavy weights in my lap for more resistance. Worked out nice. Cut my reps by 1/3 and then increased it on the second set.
I'm going for mass this round, so I'm trying to squeeze as much resistance out of each routine.

When I did insanity cardio power & resistance I went really light on the chest exercises having already worked the upper body and chest this week. I'm using insanity to help keep it lean if possible.

Gonna wear my heart monitor again tomorrow to see how many cals I burn a day. I need to really hammer that amount I need to gain mass down. I want to get it as close as possible to reduce as much fat as possible. yeah, I know in bulking phases you have fat. No problem there, just want to minimize it as much as possible.

Todays Workout!

Me - Today: 5am go up and did insanity fit test. OUCH! Tonight I did a modified chest and back with bench workout subs for some of the push ups, added 5lb weight in a back pack to all my pull ups. I will do weighted ab-ripper x tomorrow during lunch at the local gym by work. Then tomorrow night its plyometric cadio circuit. I may sub one of the cardios later in the week for plyo-x. I love that workout. It really strengthens the core. Just have to see how the rest of the week goes. I'm going to double up like today as much as possible but air on the side of caution.
