Thanks for that Nick! I'll try them out again at lunch. I think I was seperating them too much. Set. Jump. Dex. Instead of like a jump set like you did. I'll let you know how it goes.
Power 90: Day 85
Sculpt 5-6 was great today. I used 20 lb weights for all heavy pants and lawnmower exercises. Felt nice, and I think 20 might be a bit light yet, as I was able to do up to 14 quite often. Regardless, it's a much better workout than using 15's for all those. YAY! I didn't make the ruumo squats without tapping. Something to keep working on I guess.

Lunch time kicky kick
Hit a few symple legovers. I think. Couldn't hit any symple pickups. I'll keep working on these, but I felt some pain in my left shin so I stopped doing symple and started going for some strings. I realized I only have 3 months left for my summer goals and I'm no where near them.
lots of tiltless strings from 8-16 contacts.
gyro clipper bsos
paradox mirage bsos (my flip is really weak)
Most importantly I had fun. My left shin is really bothering me now. I probably should have stopped sooner, but I won't be kicking again until at least monday, so I have heal time. As long as Power 90 doesn't bother it too much over the weekend. I'll do lots of toe raises too.

Alright, crazy night and day. Last night as I was sitting at my computer I suddenly noticed my sock was getting wet. I got up to investigate and when I walked into the kitchen I was greeted with a small river flowing down the hallway. Soon my wife and I were walking around in an inch of water in the basement suite where we live. Stayed up until 1am and then crashed in the suite upstairs that is luckily empty right now. This morning we got up and packed the car and headed out for our planned trip to Edmonton. Before we got out of town our landlords called and told us we have to move all our stuff out so they can tear up the carpet and stuff. We moved our entire place in two and half hours just the two of us. Then we drove to Edmonton and shopped. I got pretty much a full new wardrobe. And for the first time in my life enjoyed clothes shopping. I actually ran into a problem of only being able to find clothes I like in sizes too big. That hasn't happened before! Its always been too small. After all this...

Power 90: Day 85
Sculpt 5-6
Early morning in my Hotel's fitness room which is awesome. Most hotels I've stayed at have like 2 sets of dumbbells... 5s and 8s. This place has a full set from 3 lb to 50lb! I was able to step up to 25 lb without much trouble for one hand at a time, lawnmower switch grip and locomotive. Felt so good. I want to get a full set now. In other thoughts, I played with select techs at the mall and really like them.

Power90: Day 86
Sweat 5-6 and AR200
I couldn't drag myself out of the hotel bed this morning so I just got done my workout at 10 pm. It worked out alright though because my wife actually joined me in the hotel gym. Watching her workout reminded me of when I used to try using gyms... quickly moving from machine to machine, not quite sure what to do. I like to think that I could use a gym better now, with the direction and focus I've learned from Tony. Anyway, we both got a good sweat on and it was really enjoyable!

Sculpt 5-6 Had trouble getting out of bed again today, but I'll be travelling late into the night and don't really have a place to work out in at home, so I forced muself up and headed down to the hotel's gym. Really pushed myself, using 30 lb weights for One Leg at a Time and Switch Lawnmowers. That felt great. Anyways, I need to get ready for the last day of the convention and get packed up.

Yup today is supposed to be Day 90.
I say supposed to be because I have no idea how I'm going to do it, or WHERE I'm going to do it. I basically don't have a home atm. The suite I live in got flooded last week and so we're kinda camping in the upstairs portion of it. Which wouldn't be too bad except it's fully furnished so we had to add all our stuff to the already full suite and now it's pretty much packed to the ceiling. We have paths to get to the bedroom and bathroom from the door and that's about it. We have no idea when we'll be able to go back home so Natel is looking for another place, but pickings are slim.
I feel kind of bad about complaining, our situation isn't that bad when compared to, say, tsunami victims in Japan, or Tornado victims in the US, ect ect ect. There are so many people in far worse conditions than me, but dammit it throws my game off! lol

Haha, you inspired that Paul. Anyway, no pictures or numbers tonight... 
I don't know where my tape measured is and I just didn't have time or energy for pictures. But...
Power 90: Day 90!!!
Sweat 5-6 and Ab Ripper 200
Really not much to say except, that unlike Kevin, I was NOT smiling and whistling the whole time. I like to think that under better circumstances I would have been, but my life is a bit of a mess right now. When i got home from work tonight I found out I had to pull all our remaining stuff from the suite we used to call home. So we've packed the upstairs suite completely full and barely have room to walk. Sweat workout was interesting to say the least. We finally finished at about 9:30 tonight and all I wanted to do was crawl into bed. But its DAY 90! I couldn't skip that workout. So I pushed and I brought and I finished the program strong. I wish. I knew where my scale was so I could get some final numbers... anyway, I am going to bed.oh, and as far as p90x... I'll start when I can but it won't be. Wednesday. With any luck I will be moving around the 15th of the month and will try to start after that.I'll try to do the fit test in the mean time.

ducking paradox mirage bs (new)
Getting close to Ken's challenge of spinning clipper and gyro clipper bsos. I would have played longer but the mosquitoes were eating me. After every run I'd have to swat 2 or 3 off me. I killed one biting my knee mid-run. I'm really anxious to start P90X, but am going to wait I move and am somewhat settled. I'm a little upset because this will push the end of my work out schedule back further, but looking at the bright side I can use this time waiting to start P90X to work on footbag since I can easily do it outside. And working on footbag is going to be my focus when I'm done insanity, so this isn't a set back, it's only a rearrangement of plans.

Ya, took me a while to catch onto the Descriptive System when I got back. And I don't always use it. I like it better though.
Anyways, footbag at lunch. Felt sluggish today. Mostly worked on flip paradox whirl. After missing it about 100 times I hit it twice. Then missed it 20 more. I also spent some time on clip > near mirage > legover rpt which was actually something I found in The Rhino's old blog.
I want to play again tonight after looking at a new place.
