Today was Back and Biceps. That means you do a whole lot of curls and pull-ups. The curls, I don't mind so much. The pull-ups on the other hand, my least favorite workout maneuver. That is probably the case because I am so bad at them.
I have to talk about one of the 'stretches' that you do all throughout P90x. It's the ever so innocent looking arm circles. (see video below). It consist of 20 seconds of medium size circles going clockwise, then its followed by 20 seconds going counter clockwise. Then you go straight into large clockwise are circles and 20 seconds of counter clockwise circles. That probably doesn't sound to hard, but holy cow its difficult.
On top of that, in my current Monday workout you add weight to it.....
(this is sissified version, but you get the idea)
On another note, I really need to invest in a set of 15# and 25# dumbbells. In several of the workouts the 20's and 10's just don't cut it. Its pretty important to push your self on every exercise. For me, if I'm busting my butt this hard, I might as well get the best results possible. That means, maximum effort on every workout. So, I'm trekking to Academy today at lunch to invest in a few more weights.
Enough of that. Lets get to my numbers from today. Just a note on my workout numbers. On all of my pull-up numbers you will notice a notation of (A) or (UA) on each. The stands for (A)ssisted and (UA)Unassisted. I use the chair to help once I reach my breaking point. This helps me get more reps in. This helps alot because I normally cant do many by the end of a workout.
