#P90X Day 31: Back & Bicep

Back & Bicep: A bittersweet tale So last night I had the joy of working out with my friend Russell Shelley. He’s a great guy and when it comes to rowing, he’s a beast. I was thrilled when he accepted my invitation to workout and try out P90X. We did Back & Bicep and it was a brutal workout. I think now that I’ve gone through it once, I’ll have a much better time of it next week. I pr [Continue...]

I was amped up to see the results! This time around I threw caution to the wind and did not, I repeat, did not pace myself, but just went for broke on all 12 workouts. I knew the order of workouts for the most part, and had a feel for w [Continue...]

P90X Day 1: Chest & Back

P90X DAY 1: CHEST & BACK Last night’s workout was really very intense. I’d done a lot of research into just what I was getting myself into, and the overall thoughts on Day 1 from the internet community was “It. Is. Tough.” And they were right. It was tough. Chest & Back is code for Pushing & Pulling. It was primarily different versions of pullups and pushups with some other pull [Continue...]
