P90x Week 12: Day 3 - Back and Biceps

Since it is our last bicep workout for the program, we went hard today to see if we could beat our previous week's records... and we are feeling it! It was a tough workout. I always feel like crying (it's ok, I'm in touch with my feminine side) during the last exercise - the bicep curls strip-sets. I don't think I've ever got to 8 reps on each set - my arms are dead by the end of this workout.

Half-way done the week - looking forward to a good yoga stretch tomorrow.

P90x Week 11: Day 3 - Shoulders and Arms

We have filled up our workout sheet for Shoulders and Arms - we won't be doing this routine again... for this round of p90x anyway.

A funny thing happened during the workout today - my (almost) 2 year old daughter tried to help me during the Crouching Cohen Curls - she has never done that before. I guess I looked like I was struggling and needed a spot.

P90x Week 10: Day 3 - Back and Biceps

The real challenge with this workout is keeping pace with Tony and the gang - it some parts it seems like I barely have enough time to record what I did and then adjust the weight for the next exercise. I try to keep my reps between 8-10 which does give me a bit more time to make adjustments.

Today was pretty intense - I sure didn't feel like doing Ab Ripper; but I was happy when it was all over! See for yourself:

P90x Week 9: Day 3 - Shoulders and Arms

The kids seem to realize we are tied up when we workout and are not able to watch them as close as we do at other times. Today, for example, they pulled a box of corn flakes from the cupboard, took it to their room, and dumped it all over the floor... the whole box! By the time we realized it, there was corn flakes all over the bedroom and into the hallway... lovely.

We're still feeling it from the weekend volleyball tournament, especially in the warm-up.

Week 7: Day 3 - P90x Back and Biceps

Ugh, I can't bend my arms... That was pretty intense. I think my form suffered quite a bit. I tried to do an extra rep or increase the weight on almost all exercises, and I'm feeling it.

Shilleen had to bail on this workout - she was up all night with sick kids, and she isn't feeling to hot today.

Here's my solo effort:

P90x Week 6 Day 3 - Back and Biceps

It was pointed out on the YouTube posting that I seem to be slacking off on the Mason Twist part of the Ab Ripper X workout. Just to explain, this exercise seems to injure my lower back. I can feel it during the workout and it usually take a few days to feel better. I feel the same pain when I do those frog exercises - basically any of the ab exercises where I sit on the floor with legs off the ground and no support for the back. I don't know why it does that, but I haven't been able to get past it. Anyway, I will try again when it feels better, but this has happened several times now... any suggestions?

Here's the latest:

P90x Back and Biceps - Week 5: Day 3 - Corncob Pullups

Once again, it seems like we haven't done pullups for a long time, but felt good to do a few. Those "Corncob Pullups" though are tough! As for biceps, I thought I was doing ok until the strip set... those are killer! I think I will be feeling this tomorrow.
