Another workout done! T25/yoga complete. I am literally dripping right now and it feels great! Today was super hectic and a bit stressful, so I decided to take an hour 'lunch break' and workout.

Plus they hurt my back a lot! The one I can do that isn't so bad is on the stability ball. Where I put the top of my feet on the ball and crunch up towards my face while bracing my body in the air. Here's a pic from google:
Last night I went to the gym and hammered out: 5x5 snatch grip high pulls - 4x4 standing barbell push press - 3x6 bent over barbell rows. I polished it off with a 12 minutes of HIIT elliptical work. 46 minutes total from the time I stepped onto the gym floor, including warmup.
Side note: my legs are still sore from Monday's squats and rack deadlifts. No reason to do 18 different leg exercises when two done to the limit get better results.
Your final comment is the biggest thing I learned when I ran Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 for two years. Training Economy. Unless you are bodybuilding for symmetry and chemically enhancing etc the big lifts done alot are the best.
I added a little something
As a means to save your back, have you looked into doing more standing lifts and just bracing your core? In the past, I have spoken with a man who competes on the World's Strongest Man circuits and he does no ab specific work. No crunches and no knee lifts.
T25 workout complete. I may do the yoga still, depends if I have some extra time later.
Mr. Negative today was not helping me get motivated at all. I was saying how tired I was, but how I planned to do my workout hoping it would get me energized. I said "It's just 25 minutes, I can do 25 minutes." And captain negative responds with "Well, it's not really 25 minutes because you have to add the cool down. And you have been doing 2 workouts a day so it's really twice that amount of time."
Way to be supportive!
So, I'm finding the Insanity workout a little less intresting than the first time I did it. Anyone know how it compares to T25?

I had a killer work out today. T25 x 2 (because that's what they recommend on Friday's) plus my yoga workout. My legs are like jello.
i hope you all don't mind me posting my workouts everyday, but in a weird way it helps keep me motivated. I feel like posting here is keeping me accountable for my workouts...if that makes sense.
I'm so bummed, I am finally getting into a good workout routine and now I am sick!
I'm making the decision to improve my health starting today. I don't believe that my golf game is being negatively affected in a major way necessarily. I'm the heaviest I've ever been in my life and I cannot continue down this path any longer. This is all about me being able to live a long healthy life for my family. TheGauntlet is my driving force over the next 90 days and that will be the perfect jumping off point to get this train rolling.
