ARX/ARX2 Hybrid version 1.0
As many of you know, I’m a sucker for a killer ab/core routine. I like finding them and I like making them. Last night, after I wrapped up with Back & Bicep at the gym here at Hallmark, I got down on my mat for some Ab Ripper X, but ended up tweaking it slightly as I went.

In that light, I’ [Continue...]13

#P90X Day 45: Half. Way. There.
Tony Horton is in decent shape. Sort of. I guess... What a workout to have on the day where I get to say, “I’M HALF WAY THROUGH P90X!” Back & Bicep continues to be, what I honestly think, is the most difficult P90X Classic workout. Though your back gets worked to pieces, your biceps are really where the action happens. All back movement works the biceps here and adding all the wicked curls t [Continue...]12
