18 Jan 09 Day 14

Sundays are always my favorite. I get to do my own routine and work as hard as I want. It was also a very informative lesson learned after 2 weeks of P90X. I have discovered that my cardio fitness level and overall strength has diminished since starting P90X. I could not snatch as the 28kg kettlebell like I could prior to starting the program, and I could not dead lift 235 like I could 2 weeks ago either. Therefore, I will continue with P90X, but I will have to continue to incorporate Olympic moves and more metabolic conditioning exercises on days I am not working.

Today’s workout was Tabata madness. 9 exercises, completed 8 times using the Tabata protocol of 20 seconds of work and ten seconds of rest before moving on to then next exercise. Here were the exercises:
1- Body weight squats and lateral raises w/20# dumbbells
2- TRX triceps skull crackers
3- Dead lifts with 185#
4- Kettlebell snatches w/28kg bell
5- TRX Y deltoid lifts
6- Kettlebell swings w/28kg bell
7- Pick it up and put it away w/20kg kettlebell
8- TRX high bicep curls
9- Run elevation 1.0 speed 8.0
