P90X Chest and Back Daily Recap:
Why Are You On Day 1 of P90X, again?
My Body Isn't Ready for Phase 2: Hey guys. I had to make a huge decision after following 6 days of Phase 2, which is the phase that I should really be on. You see, I began doing Phase 2 of P90X, and I noticed something - My body just wasn't ready for Phase 2. In fact, it wasn't even close to being ready.
Muscle Confusion Works, BUT: I realize that the Muscle Confusion in P90X is what brings results, but when I couldn't even follow half of the moves on the Phase 2 discs, I just knew that I was NOT ready.
Solution: My solution is to do Phase 1 again, but with less modification, more intensity, more weight, more repetitions, and more of everything else.
Having Proper Equipment is also Important: And now that I actually have a set of dumbbells that goes above 25 pounds, I am sure that my workouts will go a lot smoother.
Pre-Workout:
I literally slept in until 1 in the afternoon today. Usually, when I sleep in, I am bound to a bad day. I didn't want to let that happen today though.
Tip Of The Day: If you can develop consistent sleeping patterns, I highly recommend it.
Workout:
Everything has increased! Since I first started P90X 35 days ago, I could only do around 30 pushups at the beginning, now I can do 40. I am seeing great results and always increasing weights and reps with this program.
No Nausea: Another thing I noticed was the workout - It didn't make me nauseated like it usually does. Something about the P90X Chest and Back routine usually makes me want to hurl - but not today.
Ab Ripper X: Part of my other program with my first time around P90X was the fact that I skipped Ab Ripper X and X Stretch so much. I really want to get full benefits from this program and for that to happen, I knew that I couldn't skip those routines any longer. Ab Ripper X is a killer, but you definitely feel the burn. Just be sure to use proper form.
Summary Of Daily Recap:
- My body isn't ready for round 2.
- I am redoing round 1 - more intensity and proper equipment.
- I am not going to skip Ab Ripper X or X Stretch
- Results are definitely showing.
