It does not seem like lots of improvement, but there was yet again improvement; before I forget, I am still sore from Monday’s workout, so that is awesome. OK so what improved? First off it has been pretty tough for me to do 16reps on pull ups and for this workout I try to do 20, well today again not only did I just take 1 break between the 20, I did it in such an amazing form it looked amazing an easy LOL, there is a mirror right in front of the pull up bar, so I can see myself doing pull ups, and I pulled myself so high up that my hands touched my chest and then all the way down and did that 10 times then break for 5 sec and 10 more reps, damn it looked cool, not just my chin above the bar by my neck and shoulders too LOL, that was way to awesome OH YEAH!! BRING IT!!!
Now I will say I could not do the same thing with wide front, I could not touch my chest with the bar, well I am sure some day I will be able to, but I am happy I managed to do this, as I did not realize this is the last set up pull ups for this round of P90X wow I have 10 more days left.

Today I did the same for the Ab Ripper, I wish I would have pulled it to 100 in the in and outs, I totally had forgotten that this was the last Ab Ripper for this round of P90X, I thought I had two more weeks. Oh well. However when I went to the double crunch machine I did 2 sets of 10 reps with 120lbs each, and that felt so good.
Well today was awesome, if I would have remembered this was my last weight workout for my 2nd round of P90X I would have tried very hard to blow all reps out of the water but I still did awesome and I managed to get pumped, my back and abs were really feeling awesome!
Tomorrow I have Kenpo X.
Now I did mention I have 10 days left of this round, I plan to take a break from P90X and research some bodybuilding techniques, then I plan to try and use the P90X muscle confusion schedule and I will combine them, so basically it will be a modified P90X to be done completely at the GYM, the problem for me is that using my body as weight is not making me bigger, for push ups and pulls ups, I will have them as a warm up, but I want to get bigger so I want to go with the 8 to 10 rep with bigger weight, and for that I need to bench press and use weights for my back, so we shall see how this all works out, I will try to keep everyone updated on this as I work on it, then after some time when the new MC2 comes out I will do that routine and see how it works out.
Thank you for your time:
Mike
