Day: 78, P90X Chest, Shoulders & Tris

Workout

P90X Chest, Shoulders & Tris Status: Completed Week 12 is off to a solid start! Chest, Shoulders & Tri's was a great way to start the week, and I really brought it today. I upped my reps on most of the pushups, except the last two...by that point I could barely lift my body up! My shoulder stuff was strong, and I used the 30 lbs weights for the Y Presses! That's huge! Tricep work was great too. I'm starting to figure out how to use the Tower 200 for some of these exercises and for triceps I really love it! The next time I see this workout (according to my upcoming modified schedule) I'll be on Week 6 of Insanity! Not for a while, but I know it's going to fly by. I wonder what my body will look like when I'm there! Can't wait!

Workout

P90X Ab Ripper Status: Completed I was a little tired after the great resistance workout, but got a second wind pretty quick during ab ripper. Stronger bicycles than normal today, and the lying down on the back section was a lot better today. As always, I got all 50 mason twists in! Only two more times and I've officially accomplished that goal! Welcome to Week 12! So far so GREAT! Bring it!

Workout

P90X Chest, Shoulders & Tris Status: Completed Great workout today. It's the super bowl so I'm making this short. Week 10 is off to a great start! Bring it!

Workout

Martial Arts Status: Completed Did an extra 30 minute muay Thai workout and wanted to document it. I saw Vitor Belfort get knocked the f out by Anderson Silva last night with a front kick to the face, and realized I wanted to work that defense.

Day: 43, P90X Chest, Shoulders & Tris

Workout

P90X Chest, Shoulders & Tris Status: Completed My shoulders are spent! Truth be told, my chest, shoulders and triceps are all feeling pretty taxed, but my shoulders took a beating today! Great workout, even though it's Sunday and I did have to pug myself to get moving. I love working out my arms, and this is an awesome workout. The fly pushups are awesome, the pike presses are great and the slow and fast pushups are excellent! The next time I see this workout I'll be midway through the final phase of my second round of P90X! See you in a few weeks Chest, Shoulders and Triceps!

Workout

P90X Ab Ripper Status: Completed I was pretty beat after the arm workout, but I pushed myself through and had a decent ab ripper. The first half was really difficult today, and my hips were really hurting, but by the hip rock stuff I was definitely in my zone. V up rollups were solid, oblique v ups were really strong and as always all 50 mason twists were done! Week 7 of Round 2 is off to a great start! Bring it!

Daily Note: Just wanted to give a shout out to a few friends starting P90X! Friends Anthony and Vanessa are each a week in, and Mark is starting today. I think there's a few more planning on getting going in the next month, and I'll give them shoutouts as soon as they do! Great job folks! It's the best decision you've ever made!

Workout

P90X Chest, Shoulders & Tris Status: Completed I'm still not at 100% from the cold, but I mustered up the strength to hit play today and ended up with a pretty decent chest shoulders and triceps workout. The triceps felt a little more rough than normal, but the pushups were pretty strong and the shoulders were really strong. The best was the arm circles! I rocked those out really well, and my shoulders felt amazing! Despite being sick, I had a pretty good arm workout.

Workout

P90X Ab Ripper Status: Completed Being sick didn't help, and I gave everything I had to the arm workout, but I got through ab ripper. Stronger than round 1, but not my strongest. Considering the long weekend and I'd just driven back from LA, I'm still happy with the results. And 50 mason twists completed again. Week 6 is off to a solid start. Bring it!

Day: 29, P90X Chest, Shoulders & Tris

Workout

P90X Chest, Shoulders & Tris Status: Completed Wow, amazing workout day and an amazing workout is on this disc! I haven't done Chest Shoulders and Tri's since Week 12 of Round 1, and I forgot how awesome this routine is. As soon as I got started moving I felt so much better than I have all weekend. The New Year's party two days ago destroyed me, and I wasn't fully recovered even today, two days later. But I pushed play and just got super pumped through the whole thing. Not many of my numbers went up, but none of them went down so that's awesome. And I forgot that the Pike Pushups were in this routine, which means I do pike's every single lifting week (they're also in shoulders and arms: mc2, which I did in phase 1). These are the most killer exercise for the shoulders in the whole program, and I'm convinced I get the best results from them. Very cool! Excellent way to start Week 5! I can't wait to see how my numbers progress on this disc in the next few weeks!

Workout

P90X Ab Ripper Status: Completed I feel like I say this after a lot of ab ripper, but this was definitely my best ab ripper yet! I pumped out 25 of everything, aside from a few single rep breaks. Every rep I did just felt so strong too! I even got a week off from ab ripper last week, so I'm really impressed I could jump right back in to it. Week 5 is off to a great start. Phase 2 is off to a great start. 2011 is off to a great start. Tomorrow is Day 30, or actually Day 120, so pictures will be taken. I am ready to keep making big changes! Bring it!

Day: 78, P90X Chest, Shoulders & Tris

Workout

P90X Chest, Shoulders & Tris Status: Completed This is a good workout, and today was no exception. Works the muscles it says it does and does it really well. Pike pushups destroy me, and the pour flys are absolutely ridiculous. I love it! The next time I see this workout, I'll be in Phase 2 of Round 2! Holy crap, it'll be here before I know it!

Workout

P90X Ab Ripper Status: Completed Solid ab ripper. This is one of my last three before round 2, so I'm glad I got a good workout in. Week 12 has begun! Bring it! (Harry Potter is about to start. Sorry it's so short....I'm in the theater right now!)

Day: 64, P90X Chest, Shoulders & Tris

Workout

P90X Chest, Shoulders & Tris Status: Completed This workout always goes by so fast, so I guess that means I really like it. My arms feel excellent afterwards. My chest always feels rough after, though, because the pushups in this are really hard. They're all a lot harder than any others in the whole program. I managed to get my pushups numbers up today, but they still destroy me. There's even a few that I have to do on my knees, and they still kick my ass! Great way to start Week 10. The end is near!

Workout

P90X Ab Ripper Status: Completed I felt great during this whole ab ripper workout. I did 25 reps on almost everything, and my stomach is destroyed right now! The home stretch is coming together. Bring it!

Daily Note: Yesterday was Cypress Hill's Smokeout, a 14 hour music festival in SoCal. We drove out there on Friday and came home this morning. I was dancing and just on my feet in general for 14 hours, and then we walked a mile back to the hotel. And I didn't eat too well. I didn't eat horrible portion wise, but definitely food wise. That's ok though; the whole show was absolutely incredible! But ya, I'm noting yesterday to let you know why I was wiped today.

Workout

P90X Chest, Shoulders & Tris Status: Completed My whole body was dead from yesterday, but I managed to get in a good workout today after the drive home. Not as many pushups as I'd have liked, but I definitely made the last three hard. This was also my first resistance routine with my new heavier weights, so a lot of stuff I got fewer reps but they felt way better. Last time I'll see this routine until mid phase three. Strong ending, considering the concert. Bring it!

Workout

P90X Ab Ripper Status: Completed Good workout. Again, not as strong as it could have been after the festival, but good overall. The last 40 mason twists destroyed me! Abs feel like they're on fire! Excellent way to start Week 7!

Daily Note: My Uncle's wedding is today, so today's going to be a cheat day food wise. I'll try to stick to healthier cheat foods, if that means anything. Wish me luck! Congrats Uncle Bob and Aunt Susan! 10/10/10

Workout

P90X Chest, Shoulders & Tris Status: Completed Good workout. I'm always amazed how much stronger I get in a week. I lifted a lot heavier weights than last week, and it felt great! Those damn pike pushups are still ridiculous, and the plyo pushups are no bueno either. On the latter I can at least get in the air, but clapping is out of the question right now. Someday though, it's gonna happen. Week 6 is starting off strong!

Workout

P90X Ab Ripper Status: Completed I can now officially do the harder version of every workout in this. Starting off with the in and outs and the bicycles with my arms in the air instead of on the ground was excellent! That kind of murdered me for the rest of the workout, but I still got through the whole thing. A few things I didn't get to 25, but I never quit; I just couldn't move as fast as Tony and the crew. Oh, except those Fifer Scissors. Those are still beating me up a lot more than anything else. Stronger today, but still working on it. Abs feel good. I feel good. Great way to start the day! Bring it!

Day: 29, P90X Chest, Shoulders & Tris

Workout

P90X Chest, Shoulders & Tris Status: Completed Yes! This workout is awesome! Chest, Tri's and Shoulders is the final disc I haven't done, so I've now officially done every exercise in P90X at least once. But wow, this workout is great. There's a ton of pushups, and they are all ridiculous. Those twitch pushups and the Pike Pushups are nuts! I'm so glad I got to lift again. I really lost some drive last week, but I'm really not that into cardio as much as I am lifting. Last week has too much cardio. At least I know that as soon as I get done with recovery week I'll get really into it again. Month 2 began today and I feel great! Bring it!

Workout

P90X Ab Ripper Status: Completed Getting even stronger at ab ripper. 4 weeks ago this thing destroyed me. Today I was actually looking forward to it. It's been a week since I last did this workout so I'm really thrilled that I got stronger at it! All of that is freakin' awesome!
