(probably goes without saying, but download it because I'm always brushing up on the Drive data cap and will probably delete it in a day or two)

We did this kind of stuff in Orangetheory. At first, I had trouble with things like V-ups, and it took a while for me to get the hang of balancing myself and even more time before I could do them properly more than a handful of times. Makes my stomach cringe just thinking about those core workouts.

A lot of those p90x workouts failed at making the thing you're supposed to be working out the limiting factor... and at the time I never really thought about it. My cardio sucked, so often that was the thing keeping me from going to failure... or bad form from doing a million curls, asking pull ups, etc.

And I'm pretty big about that now... not ego lifting and having other muscles take over, but doing what works specific for the targeted muscles.

I did like the core routine and fist pumped the first time I got through all of it including the bonus at the end.

Lol, when I was in HS I once decided to do some ridiculous number of curls. Maybe it was hundreds. Couldn't straighten my arms for a week, lol.

On the same page as you now. I focus on strict form/mechanics, don't hero lift, try to reach failure efficiently and then push to do the work I feel I need to get done, then move on to the next exercise.

Used to average 20+ sets per muscle group, 6-8 sometimes even more exercises, and never felt like I was progressing the way I wanted.

Now I average 9-12 sets total and 4 or 5 exercises per muscle group, and seeing real results/growth basically every month or so.
