First off as you know this was suppose to be yesterdays workout, I had to take a rest day yesterday due to being at a B-Day party.
Today was a tough day at work, I did not really have to move a lot of tables, I wish I did LOL but I had to clean a bunch of computers and had to do it on the floor so I spent long hours bending over, picking up the machines and putting them back in a low rack under the desk, it is not the same thing to pick them up and put them on a table, you spend a lot more time bent over with the weight of the computers on lower racks. If I would have done this without ever doing P90X my back would have been killing me right after the 3rd PC, but I worked without any issues, towards the end of the 8hrs, my back was feeling a little sore but I could still get back up and did not have to put my hand on my lumbar spine for support and grunt with pain, so that is cool, God knows the amount of times for years I had to do that, even from washing the dishes for more than 20min LOL.
After all that I still came home straight to workout LOL and after that I wanted to spend some time with my wife, so I took her out for a 1.5hr walk.
Lets see how my workout went after a day of bending and picking stuff up LOL:

- Red = Less Reps than last time
- R = Reps
- W = Weight
- LA = Left Arm
- RA = Right Arm
First off, I still need some heavier weight of some sort, I will do my best on pay day to purchase a proper resistance band with about 30lbs plus and that way next week I can start using it. But either way I still fell I brought it, it was tough, because I was tired, when I did the first alternating shoulder presses I had to fight to get the extra 2 reps, but I did it.
I will say that some if it I felt I could have done a couple of more reps but I ran out of time and I did not feel like pausing it to do more, as I am just getting mostly tired of picking up the weight and I want to gain muscle instead. I did feel myself get pumped, especially my triceps, as the 20s are still working fine for them.
The last exercise, the side tri-rises, I really fought to get those extra 5, I pushed and huffed those 5 LOL but I did them and that is what really made me feel the triceps for sure. I also had to push the extra 3 for the chair dips, I wanted 5 but I could not do anymore, but I still got an extra 3 at first and that was cool, also I did not only do an extra 3 but I lifted my leg this time OH YEAH BRING IT!! I decided to give it a try and I was like cool I can do this.
Also I was somewhat engaging my core, not sure if I am doing this unconsciously now but I did and I felt my abs a bit towards the end, I thought that will be cool for Ab Ripper X.

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
Like I mentioned before, I was already feeling my abs a little bit, nothing major but I know they were a bit tight, I also think it had to do with the bending over all day and getting back up. However I started like I did last time, I did 80 for in & out and oh man the burn started right after cross leg sit ups. I was pretty much screaming at the last 5 reps of hip rock and raise and pulse ups LOL Same thing with fifer scissors.
When I reach mason twist I thought I was going to fall over sooner but I managed to push myself to make it to 70 and then I fell over LOL Oh yeah that felt AWESOME!!! :o)
Needless to say that even though I did not have heavier weights I still brought it, especially in Ab Ripper X cause if you feel it like that, you definitely brought it :o)
Tomorrow I have Yoga, and I am glad I do as I still have more computer cleaning to do LOL.
Thank you for your time:
Mike
