Here we go again. My goals for this week are:
- Improve form
- Increase reps/weight
- Survive Plyo.
Today was a good day. I left everything on the floor today after the workout. During the second round of decline push ups, I actually went to failure and could not go back up w/o dropping my hips. Since goal number 1 is to improve form, that was not an option. It felt good to give it all I had. I think last week, I kept a little bit of energy in my back pocket since I didn't know what was coming. This week, I let it all go, the way you should if you want results. The only bad thing was that during my last set of
pull ups, my improvised door attachment (a small cheap bungee) broke and cracked me right in the
knuckle. I am going to make a hanger tonight, but looking back, I probably should have bought the attachment
Beachbody sells. Ab Ripper X was exceptionally brutal. I believe it is because I am not allowing my hips to drop during the push ups, and am fatigued before stating. I feel that I will struggle with Ab Ripper throughout this program, but will keep powering through it.
I am worried about tomorrow.
Plyo was tough on me last Tuesday and left me sore the rest of the week. Hopefully it will be a little easier this week (one can dream)!
