So I did Meso1 disc 3 (legs) this morning modifying where necessary. I used weight on all exercised but still kept it fairly light for most. I love those wall squats where you pick up the DBs- I used 8 pounders for that. Funny how I used to hate them LOL!! I did a couple of the bonus legs exercises and then jumped on the bike and did CCPP challenge 1 and I really felt the burn. I may not be able to walk tomorrow 
I am also feeling it in my low back- like something is pulling on the sacrococcygeal area(tailbone). This is similiar to a pain I used to have a long time ago I think all of that time off has stiffened me up I need to really focus on doing some stretching for area to keep it from acting up.
So are you ladies having a good weekend?

Catherine - Good job working the legs.
Crazy day, DS had a baseball game this morning, then took me and kids to hair dresser then errands. Finally back home.
Today was Arm day and had an interesting workout. Biceps and Triceps followed the same superset pattern that Chest & Back did the other day, but shoulders was a tri-set. But for this triset you picked one weight and then cycled through 1 rep of each exercise until you failed on the first one, then keeping alternate the last two, until you failed on the next one, then do the last to failure.
Amy's Kickbox Surge through first blast as warmup.
2 warm-up sets of 10 reps for each exercise, cycling through all execises.
Curls - 12's
Lying Extension - 8's
Front Raise - 5's
Upright Rows - 5's
Overhead Press - 5's
1 Pyramid Set, Rep Pattern 6, 10, 15, 6 to failure(at this point you return to the original weight you started with)
Barbell Curls
55# - 6
50# - 10
45# - 15
55# -9
***Surprised I did as well as I did on the last set.
superset w/
Lying Extensions
42# - 6
37# - 10
32# - 15
42# - 10
***Again surprised I di so well on the last set
Shoulder tri-set 1 rep of each exercise without rest until failure on each exercise.
Front Raise
30#-12
Upright Row
30# - 16
Overhead Press
30# - 22
***Shoulders were still a bit sore from Chest & Back so I think I more gave up than failed.
Then I did Combos & Surges 2 & 3 of Amy's KB Surge and the stretch. Workout was 1:09 and burned 460 calories.

My back is still bothering me this morning. So I am gonna go with plan B which is to do CCV2 on the bike. We'll see how this goes. I just purchased it. I wonder if I'll do CC after I get back to full speed-I miss my step and kickbox dvds I will do a good stretch session afterwards and hopefully will do STS chest and back tomorrow. Better get busy, it's gonna be a hot one today!

Vol 2 is done. I really must have pushed myself because I was and still am nauseated afterwards I enjoyed it though- how sick is that I stretched only a little because it's hard to lay on the floor when you feel like you are gonna toss your cookies any minute Maybe if I feel better later I will do some abs and stretch max.

I'm such a dork! I didn't realize there was a new thread started! I'm ashamed to admit I haven't worked out since last Friday My W/O manager looks pathetic. It has just been so busy with all the party prep plus we had 5 grad parties to attend this past weekend.
Today will be some form of easier cardio as TTOM hit with a vengeance and I'm feeling crappy.
Catherine- When confronted with a choice of wine or stretching, I choose wine! Hope you recovered well from your CCV2 ride. Is your back feeling better?
Linda- I hope you received the P90X copies I sent. Let me know if you have any questions. Once again, your numbers just blow me away!

Judi, I wouldn't sweat taking the weekend off! Just jump back in when you can
My back is still "tweaky" I will give chest and back a try this evening but will probably lighten up on BB rows as these tend to aggravate my back. I was fine till I started lower body stuff I think I need to get back to some of my old KB progression stuff and extra stretching!!

Catherine - Sorry about your back. Mine was horrible last Monday, so I feel your pain! Oh and sorry, I don't like wine, I would have opted for the stretching Nice job on the puke status workout, those are always fun!
Judi - I actually admire you for your rest weekend. I keep telling myself , one of these days!, but instead I keep getting up!
Went to the hairdresser Saturday and the women there would not stop talking about my arms! Always good for the ego!
This is week four and not sure how many more weeks I could do this upper body workout. I have also found that I have sucked myself right back in that mentality of having to lift heavier every workout. I mean heaven forbid should I do two workouts at the same weight with no increase! I am going to hurt myself again!

Disc 28 done!! I had to modify the BB rows after one set I went to cable rows. They were just too hard on the lower back. I also found out why Cathe does the incline flys last instead of the flat bench flys. I did the incline first by accident and thought no biggie I'll just do the flat bench one later It was soooo much harder getting the weight up on the flat bench after all of that LOL. I was able to increase the wt on everything by 5%(to lazy to post it all tonight). I also did WG assisted pullups for the deadlifts. I did 4 sets of 11 during the w/o and then banged out another 10 after.

Catherine - Nice job on Disc 28!
Judi - I did get the envelope the other day. Thank you so much. Glanced at it, but haven't had much time to really study it.
Today was legs and I am so glad I am only doing this workout once a week now. Got my butt kick! Started with 4DS though first blast and my HR would just not go up and I was thinking "oh,no" not one of those days. But I needn't worried because as soon as I started the leg work HR went thru the roof and would not come back down. I spent most of my time between 170 to 179 bpm! Needless to say I wiped out at the end.
Didn't feel like working out at all today, just too tired.
4DS through first blast as body warmup.
2 warm-up sets of 10 reps for every exercise.

***Dropped 2# on all sets, feel like I am crazy to keep adding weight here

***Increase 3# here on most sets

Squats - 55#
***I was toast by this point so I kept the same weight for the endless 30 reps!
By this point I was tired and out of time. Workout was 102 minutes and burned 468 calories.

Well, I'm still just taking my workouts one day at a time with no particular rotation. Today I did 4DS Upper Body. I really like this one especially since you lift fairly heavy for a total body workout and it hits all the muscles hard.
Linda- I don't know how you do jump squats with 35#
Catherine- WTG on hitting the 5% increase on everything. I actually find incline press and flys harder than flat bench

Judi - Actually, I only did them with 30# and I think that is enough. And incline presses and flyes are way harder. I can't do nearly the weight on an incline that I can do on a flat.
