Day 15–Chest & Back + ARX

Yesterday was Day 14 and I did do Yoga in the morning, it was awesome as usual.

Today was also an awesome workout, I worked my chest and back pretty hard. I am still using 105lbs for the bench press, however I feel that I may be increasing soon, but I did increase for incline bench press from 27lbs to 32lbs. I also tried to increase my hang time at the end of my pull ups, this was pretty cool I could feel the burn as I fought to stay up, same thing with some of the muscles on my arms. Needless to say I had an awesome workout and I sure felt it.

Ab Ripper was awesome too, so far still using the same 25lb plate, I actually did mason twist with just my fists to show a friend and it felt so light, like I was doing nothing LOL since I am used to using the 25lbs plate to do it with, it is an amazing feeling and such a great burn.

Tomorrow I will be doing Plyo X.

I also have some more training Thursday & Friday, so it is possible I may not be able to work out these 2 days, however at the same time I have plan for my apparent recovery week which will be next week, a little crazy, so not really recovery LOL however it will be all cardio, but will let you know soon.

Thank you for your time:

Day 12–Legs & Back + ARX

First off I know that technically I should have written Day 11, however if you noticed I skipped the day I was off and kept the numbers in order last weekend, therefore the days were wrong, figured I would fix that now before I carry it on a lot further.

Alright so first off today is Friday and that alone is a good thing as the weekend has just started WOOHOO! .

Today I had a pretty awesome workout. My back is feeling it and so are my legs, I managed to increase weight on leg extensions from 90lbs to 105, and I also felt like I might be able to go higher next week.

Also I worked the pull up bar pretty hard today, and I know because I can still feel it.

On Ab Ripper X I was able to do about 60 In & Out while holding the 25lb plate. I also added some ab crunches while placing the 25lb plate lightly at the back of my head and oh man, did that ever give a nice burn, then I finished off with the double crunch machine at 135lbs, DAMN! that felt GOOD!

Tomorrow I will take the day off and Sunday I will do Yoga.

May you all have an awesome weekend and thank you for your time:

Day 10–Cardio

Today I was suppose to do Kenpo X, however I forgot my portable DVD player and to top it off I forgot the DVDs, which I could have used with a laptop.

I was a bit disappointed, I was really looking forward to doing Kenpo X. I did think well I guess I can take the day off and for a while I was dragging my feet around, but I forced myself to go to the GYM and decided to hop on the Cardio bike and went crazy on it for 45min. Worked up a good sweat and it felt great and I am really glad I did not decide to take the day off .

Tomorrow I have Legs & Back + Ab Ripper X and since this is totally modified I don’t need to watch a video .

Thank you for your time:

Day 9–Shoulders & Arms + ARX

Again I have to keep this short, but I will say I had a good workout today as well. It was pretty awesome, I was able to increase my weights for some of my bicep workouts, last week I was using 27lbs dumbbells and this week I used 32lbs and it felt really good.

Ab Ripper X has no change so far, still using 25lb plate and it still burns nicely.

Tomorrow I have Kenpo X.

Thank you for your time:

Day 8–Plyometrics

Unfortunately the person who was going to workout with me today was not able to show up, he had a late meeting.

I worked out alone but that did not mean it was not awesome! Oh man I am so close to following Dominique like use to. I hit it a lot harder than last week, and I was in the zone for almost the entire workout and the GYM was cold and still managed to work a sweat. I can’t express how much I have missed this workout, it is tough work but it makes you feel amazing.

Tomorrow I have Shoulders & Arms + Ab Ripper X.

Thank you for your time:

Mike

Day 7–Chest & Back + ARX

Today was a pretty awesome workout, I really felt it again.

Trying to keep this short…

For my chest, I managed to increase the weights by 10lbs for bench press, from 95 to 105lbs, this felt amazing. Also I made a slight change, I used a machine for chest flies and I set it at 120lbs, oh man, did I ever feel it, that was a lot better, I was able to really squeeze my pecks at the same time, so it felt like I was flexing my pecks while using weight as well.

For my back I was able to increase my reps by 1, and I managed to hang longer on my last reps, this felt really good, I actually felt it burn and it felt so good.

Ab Ripper X also felt really good, once again 25lb plate was my best friend during the exercises, well at least for the ones I can use it with. I am planning on purchasing ankle weights to increase the weight on the legs as well, this should also make a huge difference.

Tomorrow I have Plyo and I have company tomorrow so it will be fun.

Thank you for your time:

Mike

Day 6–Yoga

Like I said before, nothing beats getting up early and doing Yoga. It was fantastic and I no longer feel as stiff as I have been feeling this week.

Today I was not as shaky as I was last weekend and I was able to complete some poses that I had issues with last weekend as well, like the side arm balance, I did not fall. However there are still things I have to work on, like right angle pose or crane. However having something to work on is good because it gives you a reason to keep going.

Tomorrow I have Chest & Back + Ab Ripper X.

Thank you for your time:
