Morning-
I did M1 D3 yesterday. I forgot how hard those paper plate moves can be
I've been having some pain in my right knee and probably should have bagged my workout but of course I didn't. Not sure if it is an issue with my knee or some surrounding muscles pulling on the knee.
Linda- Endurance lifting is my least favorite too but I force myself to do it for the sake of shocking the body and keeping it guessing. I preferred meso 2 & 3 over 1.
I also checked my worksheet from disc 7 and only did 10 reps on the BB curls but I think that was more a warm up set early in the workout. Later it had wide & narrow curls at 21 reps.
Catherine- Nice job on PP. That is a tough one! Speaking of CC, I received an email yesterday about the instrumental music downloads and a coupon code. What struck me was the sample list of songs which included one by Todd from VOLUME 9!! Could it be that V9 is in the works?! Keeping my fingers crossed. How is your groin injury?

Linda, nice numbers! I had to LOL about your comment on the drop set of pushups toward the end. Because I remember thinking WTH was she thinking
I did GS C&T this evening followed by CCV2. I was fried after C&T but wanted a bit of cardio. Did V2 on the stationary but didn't push my resistance to my max since I did PP yesterday.
Now, if I coud get in some abs and chinups Feeling like a broken record

Thanks, Catherine. Thinking I might feel it in my Biceps tomorrow! Hope so!
Have to say I truly admire your dedication to riding the stationary bike. I do not think I could hang in there with like you have.

Thanks Linda, it's been tough. CC is my saving grace-otherwise I could not do it!! The foot is feeling a smidgen better **crosses** fingers. Of course I've been very careful not to aggravate it.
Planning some legs tonight, but not sure what.

This morning I did Kimberly Spreen's Cardio Camp Kickbox Workout. It was fun but too short so I ended up repeating some of the hard cardio drills to make it longer. Kimberly always surprises me, I start out thinking her workouts are too easy then all of sudden she does some drill that really gets my heart rate going. Workout was 1:03 and burned 497 calories (yup, I forgot to look again).
Nope, no biceps DOMS.

Linda, what a bummer no doms I don't remember about upper body doms with STS, but I do remember lower body doms that went on for days,......
Judi, whatcha up to??
I did a modified version of STS disc 9. Using the bowflex for leg curls and extensions to sub where needed. I also did ab circuits SB abs
Ok, my hip flexors are still wonky. I am now wondering if it's the bike

Well, it has been 2 full days since I did M1D3 Legs and my quads are still sore OUCH! I've tried extra long stretching after my cardio workouts but they aren't cooperating.
Today was M1D4 chest/shoulders/biceps starting with the drop set pushups. Finished them all on my toes but as the w/o went along, I had to drop to my knees for some reps (21's, straddle, bootcamp style) I really hate when that happens!
Catherine- I just did CCV8 yesterday on my elliptical. My knee is still wonky so I have been icing, stretching etc.. I'm thinking it might be a flare up of bursitis as I get that occasionally and it feels similar to last time I had it. Sure hope you foot is better for the RT!
Linda- I just got Kickbox Surge yesterday and I'm dying to try it but will have to wait until my knee feels better. I think doing ITR, plus bag work then disc 3 legs did me in. How do Kimberly's kickbox workouts compare to Amy's?

I remember barely being able to move after doing disc 3 the first time for days!!Nice job on the pushups. I hate going to my knees too. I seem to remember doing a face plant doing some of the meso 1 pushups because I was to stubborn to go to my knees and my arms just gave way

Gosh, Catherine, it would be a shame if the cycling is messing up your hip flexors. But definitly a possibility. What next you poor soul?

Judi - On Disc 3 for me it was my hamstrings that hurt for days. And I here you on the pushups, Disc 7 drove me to my knees for the set of 30 in the middle. As for Kimberly Spreen, she is very different than Amy. She is really sweet and her workouts are easier than Amy's, but as I said she does take me by surprise during them and really gets me working. One thing she does have is she uses the body bar for combat drills which are the bomb! I love those. I have been thinking about getting her Surge w/o. I find her workouts fun. HTH!

No workout for me today so I could rest my knee.
Linda- Funny how the workouts hit people differently. My hammies were fine but my quads were so sore. I "not so fondly" remember that workout with the 30 pushups in the middle.
Catherine- Hmmm...I didn't think about the bike causing your hip flexor issues. Whatever it is, it sucks! I am not happy about having to rest my knee but if it is bursitis, that is the only thing that makes it go away.

Hey ladies! It was GS BSB for me today. This never gets any easier, does it?LOL!! I was gonna do some cardio afterwards, but decided against it.
My hip flexors aren't bad, but I could feel them yesterday doing the leg work. It's like the wanted to cramp up on me. I've been trying to do some extra stretches- who knows **shrugs**
Linda, I peaked over at HC Maniacs and saw your w/o. WTG on the 9 chins I am envious. I need to get back there again
Judi, you are smart to rest your knee. I hope it's better soon!!

I did M1D5 Back & Triceps and I will not be posting my stats since they are pathetic compared to Linda Suffice it to say that I am lifting the same loads as my first time through Meso 1 and it is still challenging. Where did that 5% strength gain go??
I have been doing my chins/pulls with the medium band so I switched to the light band. WTH?! I could only do 5 and then quit because I was so mad at myself. I don't think I will ever be able to do a respectable number of unassisted So I guess you could say it was not a good workout day!
Linda- Nice workouts! Do you HIS/LIS on a 6 or 8"step?
Catherine- GS is tough...ITA with you that it doesn't get easier! I just look forward to the day when it is less of a struggle

FINALLY!! I did some chinups I've only done them twice this last month What I did this morning was Newport, modified for my foot of course . I skipped the abs and did chins after the first 7 rounds. 6/5/5/5/4/4/1. I laughed at that last one Actually I get frustrated because I am pretty sure I could've done 7 on the first attempt but mentally told myself I was done Oh well
Judi, I feel your frustration with chinups. I don't actually make any progress unless I am really focusing on them and do them 3 times a week. How's the knee btw?
Linda, what's on tap for today?

Catherine- Great job on the chins!! ITA that you need to do them at least a couple times per week to see improvement. I've only been doing what is in the Meso 1 workouts....nothing extra. I did better when I was doing P90X. The knee pain is gone but it is still clicking a bit.
Linda- Thanks for the pep talk. I was just feeling sorry for myself yesterday Unfortunately, I tweaked my low back on the last set of BB rows and it is stiff today.
I'm going to try CCPP this morning on my elliptical and see how it goes with my wonky knee and back. Heading to the cabin this afternoon and coming home on Monday. Have a great weekend!!
