...which is nice.
i experienced the same thing with P90X. first time i did the plyometrics workout i figured what the hell could a little jumping around do? it got my heart pumping during the workout... but two days later i swear my legs were hammered. same thing happened with my back/shoulders and the kickboxing crap. man did i get stiff after day 1, and even worse after day 2.
i gotta be honest, i was (am) floored. my legs still hurt.
The dude at my local pizza joint did insanity. Sweet jesus what a difference, hes like half the size of what he used to be. I dont doubt cocaine and lots of sex with young, hot ladies played a role, but damn, he looks good.
coke and banging young ladies. the original 1980s insanity workout.
HAH! I thought the same thing until I did day 1... which as you know is mild compared to the whole first month. Month 2 you will honestly laugh through your first DVD. Laughing as in "is this dude for real?"
Enjoy! It kicked my ass into shape very quickly
enjoy? enjoy NOTHING! this is crap. my wife has gone though it twice now (she's down below married weight which is full-on nuts). i really don't know how she was walking around.
This is it. Training starts today. One more weekend like that and I'll take Matty with 15 minutes for any money.
Insanity, P90X, train with my wife - I highly recommend any of these to go along with a regular dose of riding.
Creatine is a waste of time for cycling. You will also likely decrease your ability to process water and maintain proper hydration. You may see some moderate power gains for say a sprint but totally useless for SSaP. The last time I was over 180 I was doing that shit, fucked my stomache for years. I'm leaner and stronger now 15 years later - just go with high protein low carb. Kill the alcohol and lose 10 lbs in 4 weeks no problem.
agree with the cross training...always have...and have gotten TONS of shit about it over the years here.
no correlation between lifting and cycling improvement, blah, blah, blah whatever. do 200 squats a couple times a week and tell me you aren't going to see power gains. silliness.
as for the creatine, i know what you're saying BUT i'm also not planning on doing it for more than a month. by the time the SSaP rolls around it will be flushed from my system leaving only the benefits.
my diet is EXACTLY that now. high protein, low carb. i've eliminated 90% of the alcohol as well and expect when the final 10% is eliminated i'll be down to 184/5 pretty quickly.
Why aren't you climbing with me chris. Oh yeah you are far away. Jake isn't, Jake should come to the gym so I can show him what a weakling he is 😉
jake doesn't get invited by luke. that's why jake isn't at the rock gym. my daughters really want to go and there is a gym 5 minutes away in randolph. i just can't get into a new sport right now for several reasons...not least of which is my scumbag company let me go a month and a half ago smack in the middle of doing the best work of my career. so yeah, there's that.
I wish I could pick up a 50 pound box or do more than 1 pull up, let alone climb something. Sounds like good time.
but you're high speed, low drag. which is nice.
