Day 1 P90X: Chest and Shoulders
October 13, 2008
I’ve started P90x again. After doing two rounds earlier this year and nursing a mild shoulder injury I’ve decided to get back on the bandwagon, again. Chest and Shoulders is a great work out. Lots of pushups and pullups. I enjoy the way Tony lays it out, 4 exercises and then a water break. My arms are so tight right now that I don’t even want to type.
My little boy, Raider, is 10 monthes old. He wanted to work out with me today so while I was doing my pushups he tried to climb on my back. He was fun, but it kept me light while I was kicking my own ass.
| Exercise | 1st Pass | 2nd Pass |
| Standard Pushups | 30 | 25 |
| Wide Front Pullups | 10 (6 w/chair) | 10 (8 w/chair) |
| Military Pushups | 20 | 15 |
| Reverse Grip Pullups | 12 (4 w/chair) | 10 (6 w/chair) |
| Diamond Pushups | 15 | 15 |
| Close Grip Pullups | 10 (6w/chair) | 10 (8w/chair) |
| Decline Pushups | 15 | 15 |
| Heavy Pants | 12 green | 12 green |
| Lawn Mowers | 8 green | 8 green |
| Dive Bombers | 9 | 10 |
| Back Flys | 8 green | 10 green |
It felt good to get going again. I felt good after the workout and my shoulder feels just fine now. I didn’t do the diet today, but I did make a low fat Turkey Beef Stroganof (or ‘Stoke ‘n Off as my wife calls it).
Ab Ripper X killed me. I can’t wait until that gets easier over time. I remember when I started it last time I told all my friends how brutal it was….. I feel the same way today. It does get easier with time, but it sure kicked my ass today. My hip flexors are going to be sore in the mornining.
No matter how bad Ab Ripper X was today, I know that I have to do Plyometrics X tomorrow and that is making me faint in the head.
