P90X2 Performance Phase Week 1 Day 50 PAP Lower

[FlashFlashman1]

Started Phase 3 this week and did P.A.P.upper monday and becasue of my schedule will be doing it again today ...enjoyed the workout and for the first time i have a muscle ache...top front of left thigh so will be using the foam roller before i commence workout for the first time....just shows this is using muscle groups slightly differently

How was the leg endurance for the resistance exercises? Since we arnt doing lower resistance at all since first phase? That is the big question I have prepping for pap is the leg strength. I feel like the first move would anilihate your legs since we havent done a lunge in a long time. Thanks again! good post workout review.

@gibsonden2 Keep in mind that P90X2 is meant for those who are already in good shape. Assuming you were at least somewhat active before starting X2, you will not lose your leg strength from 3-6 weeks of Phase 1, plus there is some leg work in Phase 1 to maintain leg strength regardless. Phase 2 is the strength phase and you should have either strengthened your legs or at least maintained from doing Plyocide and Base & Back. If necessary, start off with light weights then increase

@trobbinsfitness Well i understand what you are saying, but more leg endurance of resistance work vs strength itself. i feel my legs would be shot that first two weeks if i wasnt doing resistance prep, but i really dont know, maybe plyo is enough or does more for legs then i think. But how were your legs after the resistance portions? I still havent figured out how close to failure you go either.

@gibsonden2 If your legs are shot then you are doing it right...that's why PAP is here. Plyometrics (also, if done properly) should give you plenty of strength, power and leg endurance to get through PAP. The resistance exercises in this workout are done for 8-10 reps per set so you are not killing your legs, just activating the muscle fibers

I had my first crack at this workout a few days ago, I loved it! Don't you live those step up convicts? =]

That loooks a fun workout and all about control again which is one of the strongest points coming across with nearly all of these DVDs which when you get it right really turns on the sweat for me.

Can not wait to start phase 3 next week though im enjoying phase 2 at the minute.

Its reallly putting freshness back into my training sessions

Thanks for the review Tyler
