Today’s workout was a:
This is my third session doing the Chest & Back workout and I must say I am finally finding my groove with this P90X program. I finally understand when I should stop during certain exercises and when I should keep pushing for another 2-3 reps even though my fat brain is telling me “I’ve had enough” – Fuck you Fat ass brain! I also now understand how far I should be back to have the appropriate tension in my pull up bands, the right amount of weight to gain muscle and the right speeds and form I should maintain while doing exercises. Add to this the fact that I am starting to get the importance of the nutrition approach as well – eating six small meals a day at regular intervals, eating HEALTHY foods in the right amount of protein carbs and fats, as well as obtaining enough sleep.
A couple things I must admit however: I am still doing “Girly” push-ups during this workout. I don’t want to ego-wise, but while doing girly ones I can literally push myself further doing anywhere from 15-30 reps this way as opposed to only doing maybe 3-7 if I was doing “manly” pushups.
Also, I am unable to do even ONE “divebomber” push-up. They are just too much for me. I think it has to do a little with coordination, but more so it has a lot to do with lack of strength, for now…
Seeing as I didn’t achieve the results I wanted last week, today I really brought it and I fully expect to be quite sore tomorow morning! That’s a good thing in my books!
Lastly, AbRipper X. Ahhhhhhhhhhh AbRipper X. I fucking hate you! I had to modify several of the moves again, I had to do only half the specified reps again, but I do feel that I am getting better at it. But I still hate it. It still KILLS my legs, my thighs, my hip flexors and my lower back, but I’m sure as all those strengthen up I will be able to really do the whole thing. Positive thinking, positive thinking.
That’s it for today. Plyometrics tomorrow. Looking forward to it!
Thanks for taking the time to visit!
See you tomorrow!
