I'm getting that when it comes out for sure.
As for me, well...I've been overtraining.
Like i always do, I've been doing 6 days a week, 50-90 mins depending on the workouts. (yoga is the only time I go to 90 mins). I haven't been getting as good of sleep as i usually get, which is causing me to not be able to recover efficiently. The recovery weeks for p90x+ use the p90x lifting workouts, so i never fully recovered, and it caught up to me. So last week I took the first two days off of exercise, then exercised the next two for ~55 mins each, then took the next day off, then the next day on, then the next off.
Then today I did diamond delts from One on One with Tony Horton. This was the first time I did that one. Ouch. Quick routine but incredible burn. Every exercise is a shoulder exercise. 18 sets total. Yeah, it was really quick, I managed to get it in in 30 mins.
Oh and I'm done p90x plus. Cool. I noticed that my ability to lift heavy loads has decreased though, since p90x plus is so synergistic. but I have gotten really good at pushups on medicine balls.
But my next hybrid I will start after I go on vacation(which is in a week). I'm focusing on my weak point; Strength. You know all that ectormorph, mesomorph stuff? I'm the skinny one, haha. A hard gainer. I'm 150 pounds, hoping to improve my rep count for push ups, pull ups, and my ability to lift heavier loads, while doing so efficiently.
Phase one will be functional strength, I'll be doing funky pushups on balls(2,3,or 4 depending on the specific exercise). I'll also do pull ups like around the world, or V pull ups. Does it sound scary? It's basically when I do the pull up, I go towards one of my hand, rather than straight up, and alternate sides. Makes a v shape with my head. Ill also have a designated core day once a week.
Phase two I'll isolate more, it'll be very similar to P90X, the only difference will be that I'll still be doing a core day weekly.
Phase 3 will be mass. The routines are very focused towards using prime movers and lifting heavy loads. I'll be doing 6-10 reps, rather than my usual 8-10. I'll also be using weights for pushups and pull ups so my reps are in the 6-10 range. I'll also reduce the cardio, to help with muscle growth. I'll be doing one plyo routine per week, and one Kenpo routine. The Plyo is less cardio intense, but more leg intense than p90x Plyometrics.
I'm also going to make sure that my recovery weeks are efficient, I don't want to overtrain again.
Oh hey, I'm talking to myself.
