Day 43 – Chest, Shoulders & Triceps + ARX

WOW and so Week 7 starts!

Today I worked out in the early afternoon which was fantastic as I still had energy so it was an awesome workout, it felt great and I was able to bring it. Also before I worked out today I went to the grocery store and stocked up on fruit and veggies like mad, so I hope to have more energy as I eat proper, my wife works at a pharmacy and I am good friends with the pharmacists there, and they always tell me the same thing, you don’t need vitamin supplements if you eat correctly, and if you eat correctly and take the supplements, it’s not really a good thing, to much of a good thing is a bad thing. I am not knocking down some things like Whey protein, they actually recommend that, but multivitamins are only advised for those who can’t eat properly.

Any who, lets see how I did today…

Like I mentioned before I felt this was an awesome workout, I so feel I brought it. I like this DVD, the first routine alone after completed leaves your chest all pumped up and feeling great! Love it. Its just pushes yourself to the limit right off the bat LOL, it makes it a bit harder for the rest of the exercises as you already start to get tired but it’s great, makes you work harder.

OK the most awesome thing to highlight today is the one arm push ups, oh man, still I can’t do the regular, no knees one, but I was able to do 4 full ones with each arm on my knees, I was not able to go down at all before, today I went down as far as I could go, needless to say I was pretty excited and had to yell, YEAH BRING IT!! LOL

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

OK so by the time I finished the first round, I was excited but pretty exhausted, but I still worked on my abs, for this routine, I am starting to work on form and quality over quantity. Also the Roll up V Up, I did 3 more, now remember that I have been counting these wrong, which means I did 26 reps, that is 1 more than what they do, which is AWESOME! I have to work on Leg climb to get that extra 2 on each side and I will have everything pat down as they do it, plus the extra 25 on IN and Outs, that is so AWESOME!!

Masson twist, before I broke down sometime after 40 reps and had to get back up to complete 50, today I completed all 50 and then fell over, that was awesome as well, as grunted at the same time Tony did LOL.

So just to compare from Day 1, on that day I did a total of 97 crunches and as of today I did a total of 358 crunches and that is with the bad count LOL so that is a difference of 261 crunches more since Day 1, WOOHOO YEAH BRING IT!! :o)

Alright so tomorrow I have Plyo, and I am sure I will bring, because I have to, all these routines for except Yoga will be my last for at least 2 weeks, because next week is recovery week, so I have to bring it, no matter what!

Thank you for your time:
