P90X Day 74: Yoga X

Today was tough! I didn't get home from work until 9:30pm. I was tired and in a bad mood so Yoga was not what I wanted to do!

But 74 days into P90X I decided to suck it up and Just Push Play!

Yoga was its same old 92 minute self. Long and somewhat painful!

Despite all the driving and long day I still had a very good diet day. Vanilla Whey Protein shake in the morning. A Pure Protein bar for a snack. I then had a whole wheat turkey sub with cheese and lite mayo for lunch. I had another protein bar for my midday snack. I then had a grilled chicken breast with carrots and broccoli for dinner.

Tomorrow is Legs & Back plus Ab Ripper X. I always love Legs & Back. It is very intense and it slams my whole body! Until tomorrow.

P90X Day 73: Arms & Shoulders + ABX

Hello, I hope everyone is doing well. Sorry for the short posts the last few days. I was short on time and sleep from the long weekend and I am a little sick right now -- very good times!

I sucked it up this evening, hydrated like crazy today and pushed play on the Arms and Shoulders DVD and ABX. It actually went very well. I used the black (50lb) band on most of the exercises. I had been using the green (40lb) and red (30lb) bands so I didn't really increase my reps since the black bands are heavier. But I did increase the burn!

ABX was very strong today also. I got through but really struggled in fifer scissors today. I felt that familiar vomit coming up the throat feeling on about rep 20. The oblique raises were a struggle today also but I grunted my way through

My diet today started off with a whey protein shake for breakfast (52G) with fat free milk. I had a protein bar (20g) for a snack and a chicken sandwich on wheat for lunch. Another protein bar for the afternoon snack and a turkey sub on whole wheat with cheese and lite mayo from subway. I also took NanoVapor to give me an extra boost before my workout and Anabolic Halo as the post-workout recovery drink.

I was talking to Mike yesterday about the Halo and I really think it is working for me! I feel stronger all around and I have really increased my reps on both the push-ups and pull-ups. Back around week 8 I felt like I hit a wall when it came to strength gain and started taking the Anabolic Halo. And since that time I have had tremendous gains! Maybe it is just mental but whatever it is it is working!

It is 7:50 right now and I am ready for bed -- always a good sign the workout kicked my butt! Tomorrow is the always fun Yoga X. I am planning on getting up early and doing this one. I have a working dinner seminar tomorrow night until 9pm so I have to get it in early!

P90X Day 72: Plyometrics

Plyo Day !!! Good Times!!!

I felt like ass pretty much the entire day. For this reason I did not feel like doing Plyo but I took some NanoVapor and pushed play! Amazingly I had a very high energy plyo workout. If you are considering doing P90X I highly recommend using pre-workout drinks. Some days you are going to feel like crap and these pre-workout drinks really help when you just don't think you can do it.

P90X Day 71: Chest & Back + ABX

Hey guys,

Sorry for not being able to post yesterday. I got home around 9pm and did the Chest and Back workout. Then I turned on my computer and my comcast ISP was down? Comcast is my mortal enemy -- I didn't have the energy to walk out to the car and get my aircard, let alone battle the piss poor comcast customer service so I went to bed.

Anyways, I had a long weekend at the casino! I was only down about $200 and had a really good time. My diet was off on Saturday. I actually had a few french fries! And I must admit they tasted glorious!!! Sunday was better. I had wheat french toast and then a protein bar and a grilled chicken salad for lunch and another bar for the snack. I missed dinner because I was in the car driving home so I had a protein shake when I got back just to get the calories and extra protein!

I was exhausted but was still able to do the chest and back workout. Not my best effort but I struggled through and actually increased most of my pullups and pushups --despite the fact I had zero energy! ABX killed me. I had to pause numerous times to catch my breath.

I am glad to be home!

P90X Day 70: Day of Rest

I am at a casino "resting" today! Wish me luck!

Tomorrow is the Chest, Shoulder and Triceps Workout to begin week 11 ... only 20 days left!

This would be a good time to talk about my post P90X plans. I will be finishing on the 5th of December. I am planning on taking off until around Christmas time! Then I am going to begin P90X + (plus). I already purchased it and have the workout guide and schedule! The P90X + is four more discs (5 workouts) and they are supposed to be very intense.

I am pretty sure I will continue the blog so if anyone out there is wondering how the P90X + works this is the place to come!
