Insanity: The Asylum - DAY 16 - "Vertical Plyo"
Ah, halfway through The Asylum and I don't expect it will be getting any easier. Well, maybe a little, because as I do the workouts, they have to become easier, right?
Nah, not really. These routines are so difficult, that while they do get easier, the fact is I am still working harder, because I am able to do only more of the workout. That is, if I could do the routine all the way through, then maybe each iteration would seem easier, but because these workouts are impossible for me to complete, all I end up doing is working harder and harder each time.
And that's a good thing.
This is my third day of sub-50g of carbs, and I feel great! In the past, not so much. Not sure what is different this time, but we'll see if it lasts. I'm going to try to go a couple weeks like this.
Why ultra-low-carb? I am trying -- dammit! -- to lose this last bit of gutfat, and it is stubborn. I just have to see if it's even possible to lose it, and I have not given low-carbs a fair chance at it.
So this time through "Vertical Plyo" I took time to -- quickly! -- write down each move and, if I remembered to count, which I did about half the time, a number of reps I did.
Now, if only I could read what I wrote.
- Long Jump - 7 and 7
- Split Squat Back Fly - ?
- Back Fly Tuck Jump - 28
- Low Stance Jacks - ?
- Single-Leg Jumprope - 100% (forgot to count, but kept going the full time)
- Resistance Tuck Jump - 28
- Plyo Resistance Pushups - ?
- Resistance X Jumps - 18
- Mountain Climber Switch Kick - 38
- Low Squat Jumprope - 90
- Rotational Agility Jump Squat - ?
- Decoy Split Jumps - 12 and 12
- Agility Scissor Jump with Pushups - 40 and 20 (100%)
- Double Jump - 90
- Single-Leg Power Jump - 18 and 18
- Lateral Jump - 15
Those are my numbers for today. I'll be curious to see if they improve next time through.
I was definitely wiped out after this workout. In fact, I find myself taking a nap every afternoon I do an The Asylum that is not "Recovery".
(BTW, I also did "Recovery" today. I figured I needed it after "Vertical Plyo" -- my back was feeling a little weak. Hope it's okay.)
Only 14 days left!
