P90X Classic – Day 37 – Plyometrics – Dragging ass

So the good news. I burned about 1080 calories during this workout. In fact, that is the most single set of calories I have ever burned during P90X. I am not really sure why to be honest, since on average its between 850-900. One theory is I significantly lowered my caffeine intake and so that probably explains why the last 2 days I have been exhausted intra-workout more then usual. But maybe it is forcing my body to work a bit harder hence more calories burned.

I introduced Maltodextrin with water and 1/2 scoop of whey protein for my session today. It’s my way of making sort of a recovery / intra-workout drink. I don’t think the maltodextrin combo would have been “why” I struggled, so do think its the caffeine withdrawal.

I am now drinking another glass of the Maltodextrin powder + 1 full scoop of whey for my post workout drink.

Your thoughts are appreciated.

So the bad news. I dragged ass . Seriously, the last 2 workouts have been rough from a stamina standpoint. I actually felt like throwing up multiple times during plyometrics today, which is unusual for me.
