SORE this week.
Not sure if I posted but I'm lifting heavy during my week off of p90x.
Chest/Bis for my first lift. Highlights:
Bench - 275lbs for the last two sets
Straight bar curl - 105lbs
Incline Dumbbell bench - 95lbs last set
No record breakers in there but a ton better than I thought it would be for as long as I've been away from heavy weights.
Did spin last night at a new club in Denver. Tris/back tonight I'm thinking.

Heavy lifting week is over....it was a nice change of pace.
Back to P90x starting today.
This should be my last week on the road for a while (A long while possibly) so I should be able to pick up some PM 'doubles" adding in spin/row/etc more during this 5 week section than the last.

Chest/Back/Abs yesterday. Was pretty tired by the end of the workout. Based on advise from above I'm going heavier with all the band/weight exercises (not much I can do to the pushups). Trying to bring my reps into the 8-12 range to failure instead of 16-20.
For the "pull ups" (in quotes because with the bands they are more of a pull down) I added the black band (to the orange, yellow, red). This is enough resistance that I have to release slowly or it will drag me a little across the carpet.
Shoulders are a little sore this morning with all the pushups using the pushup bars....standard, military, wide, decline, diamond.

Yeah. And to top it off they are the last chest exercise of the workout. So by the time I got to them my chest and shoulders are already a bit fired. The first time I was only able to do 7 reps first set and 6 reps second set (you do 12 exercises then repeat the same 12).
Last time I was able to do double.

I save that for the crane move in p90x yoga. Honestly I set a pillow in front of me as I can't seem to hold the pose for a full 60 seconds (I come in and out of it and as many times as I come out of it properly onto my feet I'm landing on my head). Youtube p90x crane to see the move.
