Day 8 - Chest & Back + Ab Ripper X

Did I just have a stamina increment in 7 days? Last Monday when I did the Chest & Back routine I thought I was DYING! & once I was done I cussed Tony out like there's no tomorrow! But today's session felt a hell lot easier than Day 1 and I stuck to my 25 LB weights cuz I felt that I could! I used my 15 lb weights only during 1 exercise cuz I knew I wouldn't be able to do that with the 25s.

I'm taking over this routine beginning tomorrow cuz I realized that since I'm targeting my upper body I ought to focus on my biceps. So I'm skipping Plyometrics tomorrow and changing up the tempo a bit with Back & Biceps. My arms hurt. But it 'hurts in a good way' as Tony says. So why not?

I also followed up the Chest & Back routine with the usual Ab Ripper X as mentioned on the chart. I've also gotten hold of the P90X Nutrition Plan (Eating for Power Performance) book which I have to start reading cuz it'd be a fascinating read I'm sure. Also the contents seem really to the point and exactly what I needed to know about P90X!
