Day 80: P90X Back and Biceps/Ab Ripper





Day 80. P90X Back and Biceps/Ab Ripper. Only 10 days left. I can't believe it. Today's pull ups were tougher than usual. Not sure why, they were just hard. What a great work out. This one makes your biceps feel rock hard. I was pretty tired after this one and then I remembered we have to do the Ab Ripper also. Made it through ok. Always feels good when you are done. Still trying to get back on the right eating schedule since when we were in Biloxi I found myself skipping meals and eating later. I think after today everything should be back to normal.

Day 66: P90x Back and Biceps/Ab Ripper




Day 66. P90X Back and Biceps/Ab Ripper. Isolate the biceps, that's the ticket. Curls and more curls and then throw in some pull ups. My triceps still feel tight from Chest, Shoulders and Triceps the other day. Now my biceps will be pretty tight for 2 days. I did realize that I need some heavier dumbells for lawnmower's, maybe 50-60 lbs. Not sure yet. Problem is I refuse to pay retail for weights. I like to find used ones. Much better deal. Brand new dumbells are about $1 per pound. Used ones are half that price. I found my last set on craigslist so I will check there and see what I can find.

Day 45: P90x Back and Biceps/Ab ripper





Day 45. P90x Back and Biceps/Ab Ripper Ahhh. The half way point for P90x. Today felt tougher than last week. My arms are spent today. Pull ups were tough and the corn cob pull ups were really hard today but all in all I really like this work out. You can really feel it in your arms. You get a lot of bicep reps in. My back feels good also. I think I might have thrown something out of wack last week with either the lawn mowers or the pull ups but today was just fine. Then just when you think you are done with that last super set then it is time for Ab Ripper x. Ab Ripper is not to bad any more. My hip flexors are still fine and I even have started using a medicine ball to do the mason twist. "Bring It"

Day 38: P90x Back and Biceps/Ab Ripper





Day 38 of P90x. Back and Biceps/Ab Ripper. All I can say is those corn cob pull ups are hard. Very hard. Pull ups in general are hard enough let alone trying to go up then side to side and then in and out all in 1 motion. Great work out though. This work out really isolates the biceps. One of the things I like about this work out is there are 24 different moves. So this is a no repeat work out. It seems to make it go by a lot faster.

Day 31: P90x Back and Biceps/Ab Ripper





Day 31. P90x Back and Biceps/Ab Ripper. You know it's funny beacause I was just thinking that we really haven't done any intense bicep work yet, until today. I was wondering when it was coming and my question was answered. In the other work outs we did some pull ups and some curls but those didn't really leave me feeling it like today's work out did. Today really focused on the biceps and I can feel it. (in a good way) All kinds of curls today. Felt pretty good. I really didn't have a ton of energy this morning but I still did the best I could. Sometimes I think I would be better off doing these work outs later on in the day when I have more energy. Come to think of it I did have a yogurt instead of a banana before my work out. I think the banana is better. Gives me a little boost I think.
