There isn't an active p90x community on livejournal :(, p90x day 3
I'm sad to see that there isn't an active p90x community on livejournal anymore. Of course the gymrats community dried up and blew away too. Oh well. The only communities on livejournal that I belong to that are active are the photography based communities and the couch25K. I guess there are so many external forums at this point that it doesn't make any sense. Oh well.
Day 3 of P90X
Well, Day 3 was Arms and Shoulders with Ab-Ripper attached.
It was a breeze compared to plio. I need to get some mid-range weights. The 5lbs are too light and the 10lbs are too heavy for some of the things we were doing. I'd like 8lbers but maybe I should just suck it up and use 10lbs or the bands, like Gen was using. Ab-Ripper sucked and was too hard again. This week I've just been working on getting the movements down and not injuring myself.
Today I realized just how important form is, with regards to the brain. I'm learning about the brain and neural pathways in one of my substance use classes. Neural pathways are AMAZING and persistent and the brain is so efficient it really doesn't want to create new ones. That is to say, if the neural pathway for a movement gets created as one way, the brain is more likely to use the old one in simliar situations and it's harder to correct for subtler differences in the movement if the brain and body is used to the old way.
