Week 5 p90x, Legs and Back and that son of a b ab ripper x

Last night was a late night.  Involved a little cardio.  I was struggling with the yoga x and couldn’t get myself motivated to finish it, but wanted to keep working while I’m feeling good about life so I put in the Kenpo X.  I wish everyday was Kenpo X day.  It is like Christmas, for fat people.

I set my alarm for 5:50 am this morning.  That gives me time to get my creatine drink down the hatch, the pull up bar in the door way and my shoes on before I get started at 6am.

When I finally rolled out of bed at ten after six I went to work.  Legs and Back is a killer workout, damn those wall sits and lunges.  I love the pull ups though.  There are 8 sets of pull ups you do on the Legs and Back day.

The first set is reverse grip chin ups.  I did 15 unassisted.
The second set is wide grip pull ups.  I did 8 unassisted and 8 with one foot on a chair.
The third set is standard front grip pull ups.  I did 12 unassisted.
The fourth set is standard/reverse switches.  2 front the switch and do 2 reverse grip.  I  only did 10.

Then repeat the whole glorious thing.

And when it’s  all over I got to experience my favorite 15 minutes of the day….. Ab Ripper X.  My abs are getting stronger every day and I really focused on ‘engaging’ my core today.  They burned, but I found myself doing a little extra after the dvd was done just cuz I wanted to feel like a tough guy.

What a great work out to start out the day.  I’m going to start including a little about the p90x diet plan.  It is just as crucial to the whole deal as the workout is.  It takes discipline, but it is so worth it.
