Day 8 Chest and Back, Ab Ripper X

Hi. Phew today I decided to push it past that mental place which holds us in comfort zones. Boy am I feeling it but slowly recovering now. I am not going to post pictures until one month, at the recommended point to take them. I think this is a good idea for motivation reasons as one month in there will be a definite physical and psychological change. I cannot see any reason why I will not achieve my desired goal with this P90X workout plan and diet. It is so tuned to what is needed for the body that failure is not an option as long as I keep bringing it, working bloody hard and eating clean.

The push up/pull up routines are awesome at really working the chest and back and my strength is increasing, I feel real pumped and worked without the monotonous bench press. Don't get me wrong here, I love the bench press but found that just doing the same resistance training to be a little uninspiring after a while and inevitably I end up getting bored and unmotivated. This is really an all over chest and back workout which keeps the body guessing at what it will do next. Tony Horton calls it "muscle confusion" and from the results of others on the web who followed the diet and kept pressing play says it all. P90X works!!

With Ab Ripper X I found today that I can complete more of the 25 rep sets and that is a great, it shows my body is conditioning and changing in strength.

Now I am about 35 minutes on from my workout and can feel my body getting stronger again and less fatigued. Cool stuff cant wait to bring it tomorrow..
