Congrats jpurvis08 and scs!

Yeah it is a pain with the injury and all....I have to modify which exercises I can do or just double up with sets on the Bands.

Does the Army still do this type of PT? I got out of active reserves back in '04 so I haven't done regular PT since then.....

Plyometrics(torn ACL about a year and 2 months ago) and Yoga are what are killing me

I was on my second week when I hurt myself. Started all over again.

Currently 155 pounds. I'll have to post pics tomorrow. I'm on Day 3.

adrean8j · 03-03-2011, 03:11 PM

Just finished Day 6.....so far the worse for me was maybe Ab RipperX (i hate this w/o...seriously), YogaX, and the wall squats from Legs and Back...other than that I have fun with everything else....

Yoga is only hard for the first half an hour. KempoX is fun. I finished day 7.

Yoga will creep up on you if you dont quit, it's one of my favorite workouts now. Its great once you gain the ability to stretch at full capacity and build some muscle in your legs.

vladdy328 · 03-06-2011, 02:10 PM

Ab Ripper X: Tony, " I hate it, but I love it." Haha, always gets me laughin before the workout.

I can do most of the YogaX stuff...its just that a good portion uses the abs/core and a day after doing Ab RipperX it just aint fun at all!

I always give a mock frown and say "Shut it Tony and just get it over with!"

Just finished Day 9...I skipped Plyo today and went and played 1.5hrs of soccer...anyone think it is cheating or will effect my progress if I sometimes substitute ply for soccer, basketball(full-court) or a jog (1hr)? I just want to keep my running stamina for soccer up AND re-build leg strength after my ankle injury last fall...

"Plyometrics is jump training. If your doing it your gonna jump higher and run faster, and your heart will kick the panties off of anyone else's. Plyo is the mother of all X workouts." And if your missing that you are no doubt skipping a key part to the program. I normally do the workout and then go run or play ball for an hour on top of that. I prefer you dont substitute anything for this workout. Just my two cents...

adrean8j · 03-07-2011, 05:16 PM

Yeah the thing is there is a time limitation for me with working 12hour shifts...so I have limited time...it is either do Plyo on that day or get to play a bit of soccer (only happens once a week), so maybe I will do a bit of pre-game jump training and a bit of post game jump training...but I won't be able to do the entire workout AND get enough sleep...there just isn't the time....

bhoch · 03-07-2011, 07:05 PM

In the grand scheme of life, I don't really think it will matter if you skip a designated workout now and then. Life goes on, stuff happens. Just do the best you can. If you substitue a workout for the normal plyo day and you feel you just need to do plyo - try removing the kempo from that week and do plyo in place of it. Hey, it's just a thought. In other words, just do what you find best for what time level of fitness you want to achieve and don't worry about it. If you can get a good work out in running or playing your sport, then do it and don't even look back.

You can substitute Plyo X for Cardio X. I did the first week because I am had a torn ACL and was told that my knee will never be the same. It honestly doesn't feel the same after a year and 2 months. If my knee is bothering me, I'll pop in Cardio X instead. Cardio X even has some Yoga in it.

I love how he takes breaks after doing like 5 reps and comes back and does like 20 more and says it's nothing while you're puking.

adrean8j · 03-10-2011, 12:12 PM

^^^LMAO....

I had to take a early break today....pulling 12hr shifts and then doing this and then trying to get sleep is killing my body....will be back on tomorrow though....
