P90X Day Three: Chest and Back

Today, as I told you in my first P90X post, is the day that I would do my Chest and Back DVD so that I was still on track to do the aily P90X workouts. I was bad and skipped Plyometrics day... however, I do not feel to guilty about that because I do daily yoga so I will skip that DVD tomorrow and just do P90X instead. So it all will work out in the end.

So back to the Chest and Back DVD. Wow... just wow. That is about all I can remember about it. Oh, besides that I am still sore. Push ups, pullu ps, more push ups, and then more pull ups, followed by... you guessed it... more push ups and more pull ups. Ya know this DVD is probably the best DVD workout I could be doing as far as the Army is concerned. Push ups and Pull ups are a staple of the Ranger training program from what I understand, and in order to be competable in my Ranger class, I need to be able to perform 90 or more push ups and 25 or more pull ups. So this DVD is right up that alley.

I do already have a good base of fitness when it comes to push ups and pull ups, and that is why I am most impressed with this workout. This is probably one of the top 5 toughest push up workouts I have done in a long time, and that is saying something.

What is funny is I was already sore from my P90X day one workout of Arms and Shoulders, this just kind of topped it all off. I know that I am really grateful that these are not done right after the other or on a daily basis for that matter.

Ab ripper X, hell in the form of a DVD, is a pain in my butt. I actually didn't have the time to do that following my Chest and Back workout, but I will get it in tonight before my basketball game. That shouldn't be a problem at all. Although, I may have to do it after the game because having a sore core may not be the best thing for my game... not that we are that good, but hey there is hope right?
