Gym night tonight. Will be doing strength training.

My strength training this month uses something called a Breaking Point. It focuses on one muscle group (today it's back) and uses 2 groups of 3 different exercises, each with a point value per rep assigned:

Group A:

Assisted Pullups (approx. 60% of body weight) = 1/2 pt.
Bodyweight Pullups = 1 pt.
BW + 40% Pullups = 1.5 pts.

(No kipping! Each pullup must start and end in a dead hang)

Group B:

Barbell Row (10-12 rep max) = 1/2 pt.
Dead Rows (Same weight as above) = 1 pt.
Split Stance Barbell Row (Same weight as above) = 1.5 points.


You basically pick an exercise from A and perform to failure, then pick one from B and perform to failure, then back to A, back to B, etc.

You can pick any from each group but you can't do an exercise 2x in a row (i.e. you can't do assisted pullups from A, Barbell Row from B, then back to assisted pullups; you must do one of the other exercises from A next).

This is a timed workout, and there isn't any scheduled rest so the cardio effect kicks in pretty quickly. The first 1/3 of the workout you're humming along, then your numbers start to dip and the workout stretches out!

When you hit 205 points (The Breaking Point) you're done! Later in the month I'll try to beat this time.

I did this workout in 45m 38s. (I had to quit weighted pullups pretty early on). After this a bit of ab work. Here's the numbers. Have a great day, everyone!

day 1 & 2 - I have done insanity month 2 for both. Eating has been mainly clean - so pretty good start so far

Day 2

I don't weight every day.

Calories: 2520 maintenance.

Excersize: p90x Chest and Back.

After all the push ups yesterdays Insanity max plyo it made today RUFF. My pull ups still suck and I can only do one or two unassisted.

Food today is so far easy. Already planned out dessert and still have 1k calories for dinner.
