Day 17 – Shoulders and Arms / Ab Ripper X

I felt great when I went into the gym today. It was a nice change since the last two days weren’t spectacular. I felt so good I decided to really ramp up my workout.
I’ve never been so tired from the Shoulders and Arms workout. I added weight in several exercises, really making them much [...]

Day 10 – Shoulders and Arms / Ab Ripper X

Another great day. Worked extra hard on a couple of the shoulder moves. I also came up with a new gauge of how good my workout is: How hard is it to grab my protein shake mix off of the top of the refrigerator? This can also be applied in the shower by asking how [...]

Day 3 – Shoulders and Arms / Ab Ripper X

Legs are aching today. Upper body is still sore today. Especially my triceps, meaning I’d work through some pain in today’s workout. It went really well though. I tried some heavier weights on some of the exercises and ended up feeling great.
Ab Ripper X went pretty well too. I did it with my shirt [...]

Day 17 – Shoulders and Arms

I really blasted my arms and shoulders today. I switched back and forth between lifting heavy and light for building mass and getting lean. I really don’t know what serves me better when it comes to my arms and shoulders. I know I need to burn the fat off of my arms to really get [...]

Day 10 – Shoulders and Arms / Ab Ripper X

Today was a really good day. Aside from a tiny bit of shoulder pain (I hope I haven’t injured myself), it went really well. I lifted all my weight goals and felt great.
Ab Ripper X afterwards was really tough as well, but it just feels so good. The burn I get in my abs [...]

Day 3 – Shoulders and Arms / Ab Ripper X

Woke up feeling sore again, but still not that bad. On top of that, today’s workout is one of the least tiring cardio-wise, so it went really well. I got a great burn in my entire arms and shoulders, and it felt really good. I handled the workout pretty well.
Then Ab Ripper X started. Ah [...]

Day 1 – Core Synergistics

Finally! I’m back in the swing of P90X! I’m really excited to be working again.
The workout… It kicked my butt all over the place. I had a quote to describe it today: “It’s like I was in a wet T-shirt contest”. My shirt was completely drenched, front, back, and even the sleeves.
I started [...]

July 8, 2009

Only one more workout to go after this. We mixed up the workout again so that we could start with the Wall Sits and we got rid of Dead Lifts and replaced it with Lunges with dumbbells. It was a really good workout. I think I’m about ready to face P90X again!
 
Superset 1
Wall Sits – [...]

July 6, 2009

New workouts this week. Just from looking at the original workouts, I could tell this week was going to be easier than last week. I still made modifications to the regimen, and I’ll change it again for the next workout. We did deadlifts first, and they really didn’t feel spectacular, so I’ll be replacing them [...]

July 4, 2009

I decided to try switching up the order of the supersets to see how it would affect the workout. Instead of having the first two supersets have cardio leg-based moves, I switched the second and third supersets, putting a space in between the leg workouts. It made a world of difference. My legs were still [...]
