And so Week 3 begins! OH YEAH!!! LETS BRING IT!!
First off a bit of a blunder, for 2 weeks I have done these DVD twice. Classic says to do Ab Ripper X after certain DVDs, Chest & Back is one of them. Well me being all excited as soon as the first workout was over I pushed stop and popped in Ab Ripper X, pretty normal right, done it for 2 weeks. Well this time after it was done I had to step out to the washroom for a moment so I did not hit stop or anything. I come back and Ab Ripper X is playing and they are already half way through In & out, I am like, what the …, who changed the DVDs on me? I look and Ab Ripper X is sitting on the desk, I check the progress (I play it on the computer) and sure enough it has already run for over an hour and it does say it is playing Chest & Back LOL so little did I know that Ab Ripper X was conveniently already on the same DVD and I did not have to switch them LOL. I feel dumb now LOL.
OK lets talk about today’s workout. I was a bit tired today and I had to workout at the end of the day, also even though I am following Michi’s Ladder now, and today I ate very healthy, Tuna Sandwich, Apple, Strawberries, carrots, cucumbers, broccoli, lettuce, chicken, well the last meal I somewhat ate a bit more, I am no longer use to eating a lot and 2 hrs later I worked out, I pumped myself out quite nicely but to the point I almost brought back what I ate once. Sorry I said that. Any who, mental note, keep my portions down as I have been doing LOL.
However it was still pretty awesome I used my new dumbbells as well.
Lets see.

Reading the chart:
- The second to last column is the goals I had set before doing the exercise.
- Green = More Reps than last time
- Red = Less Reps than last time
- N# = No knees
- K# = Using Knees
- NC = No Chair
- C = With Chair assist
- R = Reps
- W = Weight
Even though I was tired, I had a pretty a good workout. In order to crank those extra 6 on my first push ups I did take a small 2 second break at the top, it was worth it though, did it a couple of times throughout the workout, a very small break in-between, no more then 2 seconds. The dumbbells were fantastic, however I still managed to do higher reps, which means I still need heavier dumbbells, maybe 25lbs and possibly 30lbs. But 20lbs is what I have for now.
Still need to work on diamond and dive bomber push ups, and still need to work on getting rid of the chair for the pull ups. Other than that, it was an awesome workout and I felt nice and pumped + shaky again, yeah that felt good! BRING IT!

Reading this chart:
· Last column is the difference in reps since the last time I did this workout:
- Green = More Reps than last time
- Red = Less Reps than last time
- F = Forward
- R = Reverse
- RS = Right Side
- LS = Left Side
Well I brought it yet again. I started before they did in order to complete 50 reps of In & Out, Also I go fast. For abs I try to go fast on some of them because I want to burn fat first, I do want to build muscle too, but I really want to get rid of my Buddha belly.
So from last time all I managed to muster was an extra 14 more reps than last time. But that is 181 more then the first day! YEAH BRING IT!!
Still need to work on Roll Ups, at least Wide Leg will be slowly going to the double digits.
Well this post is getting to long, so I will leave it there, tomorrow I have Plyometrics.
Thank you for your time and don’t forget that Ab Ripper X is included right after the workout (At least on Chest & Back so far) LMAO
Mike
