Day 5 Legs and Back, Ab Ripper X

Ok well this was another hard workout which got me hot and sweaty quickly. I am finding this whole package to be very easy to follow and very motivating. Tony Horton comes across as a genuine guy with a great sense of humour, and needless to say he is very ripped. Man this guy just bangs out one pull up after another. I feel like I want to compete with him but he does often remind you of proper form and not letting your ego get in the way. Plenty of lunge variations and squats. You also do another load of pull ups and chin ups. I have the bodylastics bands which offer and alternative to the pull ups, they are good. www.bodylastics.de
The diet is proving easy to maintain as I have got my head around the balance of proteins, carbs and fats etc...
I can only compliment this program so far, I do really feel like I am changing physically as well as mentally. Also my energy seems to be picking up. Of course this could be psychological only but never the less there is a feeling of achievement that cannot be taken away by any cynic.
With P90X you get the whole whack every day which I am really enjoying!! Bloody hell I am enjoying this, come on burning it up, feeling it and enjoying it could this be one of the ultimate training programs ever? I am certainly starting to think so.
Oh yeah me and J made some protein bars the other night and they were s**t, got to find that formula from somewhere, in the meantime I will buy them in bulk.
Yesterday came my 2.5kg bag of plain protein whey isolate from myprotein.co.uk, this gives me another great way of adding in extra protein to soups etc. 
Bring it!!!!!!!!!!

  1. Glad to hear it's going well! Psychological or not I had a brilliant back and triceps workout this morning after reading your blog! I would stay away from commercial protein bars as a regular way of getting protein because they are loaded with shit...my batch of 2.5kg of protein from myprotein.co.uk also arrived yesterday, funny. There are lots of protein bar recipes on the web and at least you will be sure of what you are putting in your body.
    So, we'll be looking forward to seeing some pictures next week! How many calories a day are you on?
