Day 28

Week 3, Day 4 The Challenge is done. As previously stated, this is my favorite workout. I love the push/pull stuff. I feel like I can do it better than the core and balance stuff. I like cardio and can do it for the most part, but push and pull seems to always be my favorite.

Today I was able to increase my numbers in some areas like before. I didn't increase all the numbers and I didn't increase as much as the week before, but I did increase. I also added an extra set during the burnout section at the end. I still did 3 pushup to 3 pull downs ratio instead of 3 pushup and 1 pullup as described in the dvd. I feel that pull downs require less effort and needed to up that last time, and it seemed to have been of a benefit. I also still went to failure, which is when I feel like I am really working. If you don't push yourself, you don't get results.

Only 2 days left for this the third week of block 1 of P90X3 and I am excited to push hard the next 2 days and then get into that transition week. The new workouts will get that muscle confusion started and then block 2 will reinforce it. I love how the system never let's you get stagnant in some old routine and plateau. It throws your body in shock every 3 to 4 weeks and that is the key to making gains. If you are happy where you are at, then do the same thing. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I am not going to be that hamster on the wheel... always running and never getting anywhere.

I want results.
