Day 71 – Chest & Back + Ab Ripper X

Today was overcast the majority of the day and it was one of those days that you just wanted to go back to sleep instead LOL. Then when I started to workout it was so hot that I was getting exhausted quick, I tried to keep my mind straight and say bring it but even that was not working, but the important part is I obligated myself to continue and I still was able to bring it.

Lets see…

Reading the chart:

  • The second to last column is the goals I had set before doing the exercise.
  • 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
  • N# = No knees
  • K# = Using Knees
  • NC = No Chair
  • C = With Chair assist
  • R = Reps
  • W = Weight

So again I seem to have crushed this routine, it is also the last time I will do this one, well for this round of P90X anyways. Which is also the reason I obligated myself to continue trying to crush it even though I felt tired.

The pull ups today were also pretty good, I did about 2 real ones almost each time till the second round started I did 1 real one, then the rest was me hanging as long as I could several times, I am sure I will be doing more soon as I am able to hang half way a lot longer now.

The push ups are awesome, I am doing so well with these, and I try my best to do 5 more each time, I am proud of myself that I am able to do diamond push ups and dive bombers and when I started I could not do even one, I have come a long way in 71 days, WOOHOO!

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

These I will continue to see for a bit longer. Ab Ripper X is all about continuing to work on form. After a while it may seem that you don’t feel them as much but it is working. On mason twist I fell over at 60 and I got up and did an extra 2 just to make sure I did not do less then last time LOL.

Today I was able to still bring it after all, WOOHOO!!

Alright so tomorrow I have Plyo.

Thank you for your time:

Mike
