Day: 79, P90X Plyocide

Workout

P90X Plyocide Status: Completed After not wanting to get out of bed for a good ten minutes, I dragged myself to the dojo and hit play on plyocide. I got a pretty good burst of energy and crushed this workout. Lots of good jumps, and I've gotta say that adding in the weights (and the weight vest of course) takes plyo to a whole new level. Plyocide is a pretty great workout. I'm glad Tony and Mason put it together. Week 12 continues. Bring it!

Day: 65, P90X Plyocide

Workout

P90X Plyocide Status: Completed Today's return to Plyocide was so so. I'm moving slow this morning with the superbowl food still sitting in my stomach. It wasn't terrible, but with the big breaks that Tony has in this I had trouble keeping myself motivated. I still did some pretty good jumps, and I wore the weight vest as usual, so there were definitely some benefits to today's workout, and I was pretty sweaty at the end. Mark's supposed to do Plyo X tonight, so I might try to do that workout with him tonight. I could definitely use the extra cardio as I wrap up this round. Bring it!

Day: 44, P90X Plyocide

Workout

P90X Plyocide Status: Completed I attempted Plyocide with the weight vest, and man oh man did it beat me up today! I got through the whole thing, but it wasn't pretty. The jump off the box and do a big jump holding weights exercise (no clue what it's called) absolutely destroyed me! Everything where you hold a weight or medicine ball was so much harder! Even the flying through the air stuff was just incredibly hard. But I made it through, and my numbers weren't too far off from last week. Looks like Phase 3 will be all weight vest for the two plyometric workouts! More great progress in Week 7! Bring it!

Day: 37, P90X Plyocide

Workout

P90X Plyocide Status: Completed Being sick isn't any fun, but I managed to push through plyocide today. It wasn't pretty, but I broke a good sweat and tried to make improvements where I could. My sinuses are destroyed today, and cardio was the last thing I wanted to do, so I'm still calling this a victory. Hoping to feel a lot better tomorrow for back and biceps. Wish me luck! Bring it!

Day: 30, P90X Plyocide

Log Entry

Daily Note: Today is Day 30, or technically Day 120. Huge progress, but I'm actually going to take my pictures and measurements in the morning. Awesome progress so far!

Workout

P90X Plyocide Status: Completed Well, I've finally done Plyocide, and I've gotta say that this thing is a killer! Almost every exercise is an entire minute, and that really works the endurance since the original plyo was mostly 30 second drills. The jumping around the jump rope stuff is pretty awesome, and I really love all of the jumping with weights stuff. There's even a few medicine ball workouts, which I've never ever used before, so that's all pretty cool. I will say that Tony takes a lot longer breaks than I want. I think part of that is he's definitely going a few more seconds than I am. Fast forward helped me keep my heart rate up, but I have a feeling that as I get better, I'm going to need longer breaks. Tony has a black eye in this video by the way. He never says why. Just wanted to point that out. This workout is hard, but not as impossible as I thought it would be. I'm adding my goal from round 1 to this, and by the time this round is over I will be able to do the whole workout with the weight vest on. Bring it!
