I thought that I would let everyone know where I’m at since I’m starting a new round. Keep in mind that I’m also doing Cardio X every morning as well as the daily P90X and Insanity workouts. Here are my day 3 shoulders and arms results.

Well round 2 of P90X is almost over and to tell the truth, as far as looks go, I’m in worse shape then I was before I started the second round. This is 100% my fault and 100% because of bad nutrition choices. I’m glad that round 2 is nearly over because I’ve promised myself that during round 3 I’m going to stick to a good nutritional diet and I’m going to get the results that I should have gotten in the second round. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve made huge improvements in every area except for ‘looks’. I’m lifting heavier with more reps and I’m able to do much more cardio without being winded then I ever have before. Also I’ve surpased a lot of physical goals during this second round as well. I’m up to 71 consecutive push-ups without rest (100 is my goal). I was only able to do 50 after the first round so that’s pretty good if you ask me.

Today I did a double workout. First I completed Back and Biceps and Ab Ripper X from P90X. Both workouts were good but back and biceps was the stand out workout. I used heavier weights for a bunch of the moves and I felt really great throughout the entire workout. After I finished the ab ripper, I completed the Plyo Cardio Circut from Insanity. I was pretty tired but I pushed through to the very end so I’m sure I burned off a bunch of extra calories during that workout. Tomorrow I’m going to be doing an Insanity Max workout for the first time so that should be interesting!

I’ll be posting again in a few days, most likely on day 90 with my updated pics and stats.

I did Legs and Back today for the first time in a month or so. I had a really good workout. One of the best leg and back workouts ever I think. I was able to do 15 reps on all the pull up exercises the whole way through the routine. I also did ab ripper x today and that was really good also. Once again I killed the Fiffer Scissors.

Todays workout was Shoulders and Arms. I had a really good workout. I decided to do the workout a bit differently today. I didn’t use the dvd, instead I just went off of the worksheet, and I decided to do the exercises from the bottom of the worksheet and work my way up. It was pretty cool to do it this way. I was able to do a lot more reps/weight for the exercises at the bottom that I am normally tired by the time I get to, and also I had to really push hard to get the normal amount of reps that I’m used to doing by the time I made it to the top of the sheet. I would recommend trying it sometime. Ab ripper x went very well also. I was able to complete the fifer scissors moves again which is pretty cool. About an hour or so after I finished the workouts my wife saw me with my shirt off and she said, “Your arms look really big!”. Yep, P90X Shoulders and Arms works…

I haven’t been posting for the past few days, but I’m still here! Today I did a really hard workout. I would say it is within the top 5 workouts that I’ve ever done in my life. First I started by doing a very intense Chest and Back workout. I pushed really hard and upped my reps on almost all the moves. I also did an intense Back and Bicep workout as well. I followed those up with the Insanity workout Cardio Abs and then I completed Ab Ripper X! I did every workout at 100% and it was just amazing!

Todays workout was Chest and Back and Ab Ripper X and it was fabulous! I pushed harder then ever before. My numbers were up on every single exercise and I’m feeling amazing. Ab ripper x went very well too. I even got through the entire 25 fifer scissors without stopping which is pretty good if you ask me. I think today may have been the best workout I’ve done ever!

I can’t believe that round 2 is half over already. What a ride. It’s going by fast! Today I had another really great workout. I did shoulders and arms and ab ripper x. I push so hard during both workouts and it was just incredible. I’m really excited about the progress that I must be making, with all these great workouts! I’m also excited about tomorrows Insanity workout!

Todays workout was Legs and Back. I had a pretty good workout. My legs are really feeling it! Napua had a good workout as well and Bransen said that today was probably the best workout he’s completed so far. So I guess today was a good workout day for all of us! Ab ripper x went pretty well today also, as it almost always does.

Todays back and bicep workout went pretty good. I did about the same amount of weight and reps on most of the exercises that I did last week. I was able to raise the weight on a few of the moves as well which is always nice to be able to do. Ab ripper x went well again this time also.

Todays workout was Back and Biceps and it was great. It really works you hard and leaves you feeling really good afterwards. Today was Bransens first time doing the workout and he got a great workout from it. Ab ripper x went well for everyone today too.

Today was the first time we did the Chest Shoulders and Triceps workout this round (the first time ever for Bransen). It was a pretty hard workout. My numbers were ok but lower then I wanted. I know that next week will be better. I’m not too disapointed with my results though. I did pretty good. Ab ripper x went well. Usually after the recovery week I have more trouble with the ab ripper but this time it wasn’t too bad.

Bransen and I just finished up Legs and Back and Ab Ripper X. It was a good workout for us both. Actually it was one of the best leg and back workouts I’ve done in a long time so I’m really happy with it. Napua and I are taking the dogs and going camping for the weekend so I won’t be posting tomorrow. We’ll probably be taking tomorrow as a rest day and doing Kenpo when we get back on Sunday like we did last week. It seemed to work out well last time.

Todays workout was Shoulders and Arms. I pushed myself as hard as I possibly could and I made gains in pretty much every exercise. By the end I had such an amazing pump going in my shoulders, arms and chest. I’m going to miss this workout for the next 6 weeks as well. Ab ripper x went really well today also. I’m very happy overall with todays shoulder and arms / ab ripper x routine. Bransen worked out with us again today and he did pretty good as well. He was using heavier weights this time and I think he got a nice pump from the workout too.

Our chest and back workout was absolutly amazing. The weight vest that I’ve been wearing for the workout is really helping to push the workout to the next level. I’m going to miss doing chest and back for the next 6 weeks or so. Anyways, I was able to raise my reps on all the moves again and I felt great afterwards. Napua and Bransen also had good workouts today. They are pushing harder and I’m really proud of their progress. Ab ripper x went really well this time too!

If anyone knows me or has read this blog they know how much I hate Fifer Scissors. I can almost never complete the full set. Today was one of those good days where I was able to make it through. Hopefully I will be able to continue to do the same moving forward. The rest of the ab ripper x routine went very well also. The legs and back workout went pretty good. I upped my reps on all the pull ups so that’s always a good thing. I try to do at least 1 more every session. I started out the workout not into it and not wanting to do it but it ended up being an above average workout day. It’s like I always tell people, keep pushing forward and you’ll do great!
