Month 2, day 1, P90X Chest,Shoulders & Triceps

Well, that was fun. Okay, there are like a gazillion push-ups in it....talk about trying...in both senses of the word. I did what I could with the push-ups...but then I pulled something in my abdomen doing a standard floor fly...so then I had to just go to knees and didn't bother trying standard ones again. I DID really like the Clap push-ups (on knees) tho. Okay, Tony is PSYCHO!! I actually had to rewind for a few seconds to watch him do his 20 PLYO push-ups...he got some air, man! WOW. I'm not sure if I'll try Ab Ripper X tonight or not. I have a residual pull on my right side from Core Synergistics last week, and today did the same thing on the left. Not sure why either, maybe from weakness, maybe from bad form, maybe from already feeling worked out.
Now the weight part...LOVED IT! My favorites have got to be the "Throw The Bomb", and the "Slo-Mo Throws", the "Front-to-Back Tricep Extensions" , "Fly-Row Presses", "Dumbbell Cross-Body Blows"....pretty much all the weight ones...LOL.

This was a great workout. Some of the weights I used were lower than I could have used, but since it was my first time doing this workout, it gives me lots of room for improvement. I'm upping the weights next week.....as soon as I transcribe the sheet to another one....yep, my jelly arms spilled half of my recovery drink all over it...luckily missing the computer keyboard.

I wonder what tomorrow will bring!
