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. I subbed out some ARX moves for some ARX2 moves with some pretty wicked results! As you all know, muscle confusion is key to progress, [Continue...]

Workout During Recovery? Good idea or bad idea? I say, “Fantastic idea.”

All I know is this guy kept pushing play. You should too.

Though your back gets worked to pieces, your biceps are really where the action happens. All bac [Continue...]

#P90X Day 43: Quivering Muscles Everywhere

Yesterday afternoon I was hit with the sad news that a family friend had passed away suddenly. It was a sad moment and, as I rushed away from work to be with my wife and her family, I was fully prepared to just take a day off from P90X and be the support that I knew I might need to be. And glad to do so. However, it turns out I had some free time on my hands last night and I thought, “What better way to get m [Continue...]
