Slept badily woke up with extremely tight hamstrings and lower back. Today is Legs and AbripperX. After work I headed to the driving range for 1/2hr and waited for the GF to do the workout prior to a night. During the workout my back/knees were extremely sore so I only did half the legs workout and the full AbripperX.
Diet buster: Was good all week but after golf I enjoyed a Beer & Sweet potato fries. At the movies I had a mixed drink, chicken fingers, and sweet potato fries. Went over my calorie limits but was worth it at least one day. The rest of the week is back on the diet.

Day 3
I am amazed on how quickly my strength has increased since first starting this routine. I can now nearly make it through ab ripper x (taking a break from 15-20 count) :)

Ramp up week - Day 4
Ok so I missed the workout yesterday due to golf and a lack of sleep. I woke up this morning at 6:15am and did the shoulder workout and ab workout.
alternating shoulde press 12/10,
in&out bicep curls 16/16,
two arm tricep kickbacks 12/10,
deep swimmers press 12/10,
full super...curls 10/12,
chair dips 17/15,
upright rows 12/10,
static arm curls 16/16,
flip grip tricep press 9/10,
two angle shoulder flys 12/12,
crouching curls 10/10,
lying down tricep extension 7/10,
ab ripper x (about half the workout but further than Monday)
I am using bands for the exercises because I live in an apartment and don't have access to weights. The shoulder and tricep exercises are fine cause I can shorten the bands to suit. But it seems like the bicep exercises do not work well with the bands for me. I don't get a pump like they say on the video. I definitely feel it in the other exercises though.
Diet buster: Quizos steak sandwich for lunch (reg size)
Yoga X is awsume. I used to do yoga a while back but would only do it for 20min or so. This DVD is and hour and a half and is great. At first the upward dog is hard cause your still but it quickly becomes the pose to rest in to recover from the other ones. I only did the first hour of it because I signed up for rec volleyball and had to leave.

Ramp up week - Day 1
Today I did the first day of p90X and boy is it a workout. I just kept my diet as trying to minimize fats whenever possible (but I still had bacon and eggs for breakfast).
Pushups 15/10,
Wide front pullups (with feet) 8/9,
Military pushups 10/5,
Reverse grip chinups (with feet) 7/6,
Wide fly pushups 10/8,
Decline pushups 8/3,
Heavy pants (bands) 10/12,
Diamond pushups 7/3,
Lawnmowers 12/15,
Dive-bomber pushups 7/4,
Back flys 7/7,
Ab Ripper X about 1/2 all the exercises
It was grueling. Diamond pushups were by far the worst. I could not go all the way down while on my toes. When I tried I collapsed and had to push up one arm at a time. For the pullups I bought a bar that hangs on the door and I put it on the kitchen door. I discovered by doing that I can put my feet on the kitchen counter and feel more stable.
