iamshack Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Feb 14, 2010 -> 02:33 PM) Not looking forward to Plyo today. I need to get motivated! I am on my rest day, but I usually do Cardio X on my rest day. Considering doing plyo though just to be an ass to myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Wimped out and did Cardio X....have plyo on Tuesday so I figured I would save myself until then... Good luck tonight all you P90Xers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chest Shoulders and Triceps tonight with a delightful ARX routine at the end. I just finished Chest, Shoulders & Triceps myself. It was pretty brutal for me first time through...Plus, I broke the band I use for my triceps the other day, so my work in that area was really weak. Not a particularly good workout by me today. Need to clean it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you hit two twitch speed pushups, if you are toast, you are going to suffer through that workout. f*** im tired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think it was because most of the exercises were new to me, but it also seemed like the exercises didn't work as well together as they did in Back & Chest.

Pull up bar or bands that hook into your door. Dumbbells are a plus if you dont want to use bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muscle confusion at its best. Your shoulders will be sore in new places because of the rotational exercises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been making a chocolate flavored shake every day for breakfast with a banana blended into it. I'm really happy with it, but don't really know the difference...

Im actually taking the regular stuff since they changed their formula, I'm finding its a great post workout shake. I'll supplement my shakes with the occasional ISOpure protein drink once a dayish. I've been throwing a touch of peanut butter in with my cookies and cream after workouts for the MM regular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm not going to worry too much about it...Just try to get 175 grams of protein a day and eat well and everything will workout in the end...

When in doubt, have another shake. With how many cals we need to bring in and how much protein, just eat or drink as much protein as you can.

I usually have a muscle milk light shake for breakfast, an optimum whey shake after my workout, then a lean meat sandwich, maybe some salmon or tuna, and some other random sources such chicken noodle soup or something. My guess is I take in 125-150 grams...probably need to still do more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to want one light one for triceps, maybe 10-15 lbs resistance, then probably a 25 lb medium band, and then a 35-50 lb heavy band.

I bought mine at Dick's Sportiing Goods, probably $55 or so for the three total. You can check online at Amazon.com, I know they have some designed to work with P90X. You can probably also find them cheaper at Target or Walmart. They are really starting to become a popular piece of exercise equipment, so a lot more places are carrying them now.
