Franks 1st Week

Since im creating this blog 1 week after I started I will summarize my thoguths of the first week:

Chest & Back
I didnt really do the intial testing phase day cuz I figird that seemed to be a waste of time. But on the first day the most i was able to do was 7 unassisted pullups and my first set of pushups i did 30 (tho i coulda done 40 easy 50 woulda prolly been my max). I woulda done my max but I know from doing this in the past that its best to save some strength for the second half of the hour. I ended up doing 202 pushups and 27 unassisted pullups throughout the entire workout not a bad start. Ab ripper made cry on the inside.


Plyo- a very tough workout that always kicks your ass. and if it doesnt that means your not pushing yourself enough.

Shoulders&Arm- megh its an okay workout but my dumbells are so light it ends up being a cardio workout cuz im doing set of 18-20

Yoga - its a long slow workout that isnt too too hard until all of a sudden you find your self 38 minutes into the workout and laying in a pool of sweat and you still have another 50 minutes to go. Thankfully the second hald if much easier than the first half

Legs&Back - SInce the workout is designed to deal with dumbells and rubber bands its not really meant for low reps high weights. So for me this ends up being similar to the plyometrics workout. Which is very aerobic and really got my heart rate up... Plus coming after yoga my hammys were so sore this my lower body is still sore from this... and my abs are so sore from all the ab ripper and yoga ive done this week I surprised myself by actually completing it all the way through

Kenpo - megh.. its mildly entertaining, it makes me feel like billy blanks and doing a tae bo workout. I've done a couple years of karate training so i do the spirit of what tony is saying but I try to use the foundations of what I learned while I took karate.

Stretch - yeah im electing to not participate in this...

week 2
---------------------
Chest and Back-
Well im not in tremendous pain all over anymore... And I can already start to feel my body is adjusting to this lifestyle. Although i did eventuall get tired i was able to go through a lot more of the workout with good tempo. Ab ripper is still kicking my butt by i can feel improvements there too.


...phew god that was a long ass post.
