Today was another good workout, I tried at first to do my best with the pull ups. I seem to have some sort of mental struggle with them, the first thing is I find that the pull up bar for the door is to low, and I don’t really like it that low, and at the same time I still help myself with the chair and since it is low I seem to swing a bit in an angle instead of straight down, and for some reason all this bothers me mentally, I try not to let it. Either way, I tried to improve, did my best only one of the routines I went down, but other than that I brought it and that is all that matters.
For the legs, I was happy that the door idea is still pretty good, I was able to increase the hold another 10sec for wall squats, that was awesome. Also I managed the extra 5 reps on the 80/20 cyber/speed squat, that was also awesome and it burnt like hell cause I was jumping as well, it felt fantastic and all I can think of saying was BRING IT!!
The last thing I will mention here is that even though they only ask for 25 reps on most of the leg routines, what I am doing now, is trying to improve my form, which in turn improves what I get out of the exercise, so it does not mean that I did not do much more, the truth is, I did work harder for some of the routines.

Reading this chart:

- Green = More Reps than last time
- Red = Less Reps than last time
- F = Forward
- R = Reverse
- RS = Right Side
- LS = Left Side
I don’t know if anyone finds that after doing legs, it is pretty tough to do some of the routines for Ab Ripper X, like seated bicycle, or fifer scissors , since the legs are already a little tired from being worked out. I had to take a couple of breaks during both of those routines, no more than 2 or 3 seconds but I completed the reps. I was happy to be able to complete the Wide Leg Sit-Up, that made me feel fantastic, and I really felt my abs burn on it too, and all I could think of was YEAH BRING IT!!! LOL
The other one that I had to fight with again was the mason twist, this time I fell at around 40 reps, but quickly got back up and finished the 50 reps, I refuse to do less then 50 since I managed to reach it LOL. Needless to say my abs were nice and tight, by the time I was done.
Tomorrow I have Kenpo X, I will have fun again wearing my weighted gloves.
Thank you for your time:
Mike
