P90X - WK 3 - DAY 6 - KEMPOX

I really like this workout, however, I can see myself getting to a point where it will not be a challenge. Any suggestions?

P90X - WK 3 - DAY 5 - LEGS & BACK

Legs and Back were great last week. I noticed that my legs were not as tired as I progressed into the latter movements. I was able to do both the wall squat versions w/out a problem. They were not easy by any means, but I fought thru the pain. I was really happy about that.

I also noticed during the back exercises that I had a slight increase in pull up strength. For the most part I surpassed my previous count by 1 additional rep, but don't think I could have pulled extras w/out sacrificing my form. My philosophy has always been that clean form and quality over quantity will always provide better results during any exercise, but extra focus is a must when doing pull-ups. It's very easy to get into bad habits when doing these movements. Don't sacrifice your body will reward you in the long run!!

P90X - WK 3 - DAY 4- YOGAX

Catching up from last week....

Again, Yoga was still challenging and I still can't do the crane for the full allotted time. I did pulled it off for about 10 secs though. I'm know they say that this pose strengths your arms and your core, but it puts a lot of stress on your wrists. Maybe I'm doin something wrong. Must review and practice!!

P90X Week 5

Week 5 is going well. I love the change of workouts. The push ups are crazy, and then the corn cob pullups do me in. Having a little trouble staying on diet lately. I always seem to be hungry. I feel like I can't really lose any more weight. I keep up with recovery drinks and eat right, but seem to snack on candy. That little bit of a sugar rush keeps me from my max lean of body fat. Any helpful hints would be much appreciated.

P90X - WK 3 - Day 3- Shoulders & Arms

Today, I had such a great pump throughout the entire workout. My shoulders and Arms looked like they were going to literally expode! Worked at 70%-75% of my max for most of workout. Again, I was able to up most of my weights and reps (had to do it from memory, forgot my stats sheet). I know they say its neccessary, but I am really bummed that we have the recovery week in wk 4!!

P90X - WK 3 - Day 2 - Plyometrics

Plyo was awesome yesterday, felt like I was able to put more into it since I've gained the necessary coordination and balance for each movement. Heart rate was in my range most of the time. I only had a few spikes in the 90% range (after Knee Tucks, and Rock Star hops). This will only get better as I become more fit.

Bee Pollen

Hey Joey,

Thanks for the information on the Bee Pollen, now I have to figure out what brand to buy. Want to make sure I get one of the best out there. Thanks!

P90X - WK 3 - DAY 1 Chest & Back

Need to catch a bit...Monday's Chest and Back routine was once again a success! I continued with my plan of increasing reps and weights. Again, setting goals prior to each exercise provides me with the structure and motivation I need to get the extra reps. My diet has been pretty solid and is still progressing. I plan on adding more vegi's to the snack portion of my daily plan.

Bee Pollen

Hey Rich-

I think bee pollen would be a great mix to what you are already taking supplement wise. The natural oils and honey that come from bees have been found to be very beneficial. It is a great healthy energy boost and would be an awesome addition. Go for it!

Good ole' Legs and Back

Leg and back workout went great this week.  Feeling more comfortable.  Still trying to finish the one leg wall squats.  They are a killer.  Diet is going extremely well.  Getting atleast 45 grams of fiber a day.  Love these protein pancakes.  I mix 18 egg whites (include 2 yolks), one cup of oats, heaping tablespoon of flax seed in a blender.  Pour into a muffin pan and add blueberries and cinn.  Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.  I eat atleast 6 a day.
