P90X Week 11

Tuesday - Chest & Back / ARX + 1 Mile Run
Was looking forward to this workout, based on my perceived failure in Week 9. This might have been the best workout that I've had to date. Exceeded all exercises this AM from Week 9, and felt a good solid burn. Struggled with ARX...got to 20 Mason Twists, and just had to bail. Overall, a big gain here.

Comparisons:
TOTAL PUSHUPS
Week 2 = 164
Week 11 = 202

TOTAL PULL UPS (Not rows, only pull ups)
Week 2 = 31
Week 11 = 63 (Holy Crap, WOW!)

Wednesday - Plyometrics + 1 Mile Run
Tried to really push it this day. Only have one left after today, so I better lay it all on the line. I think the most difficult series is the Jump Knee Tuck, immediately followed by Mary Katherine's, to Leapfrog Squats...then to Rock Star Hops! Brutal, just brutal.

Thursday - Shoulders & Arms / ARX + 2 Mile Run
Of all the resistance days, I think this is the 'easiest'. Compared to back/bi's, or chest/shoulders/tris, it's a piece of cake...compared to the others. Have made similar progress with weights being used. ARX went better than Monday, which was a relief. There's no question I'm getting tired of ARX...too much of it. Thankfully, I've only got 4 ARX left, with two of them being Back/Bi's day...ugh.

Friday - Yoga X + 1 Mile Run
Did the run in the AM, and Yoga in the PM inside. Had my wife watching TV while I did the workout just a few feet from her. I think she thinks I’m weird…what’s new. Won’t be breaking my back to do this workout once P90X is over with.

Saturday - Legs, Back + 1 Mile Run
There’s no way around this workout. For the first time on THIS day, my arms/forearms prevented me from doing more pushups. I could barely grab the rings at the end of the workout. Poor Sophia…I think she was suffering for the last 1/2 of the workout…they quit showing her face for the most part and Tony quit talking to her. Did NOT do ARX, was just too fried to complete it. Did the Mile run prior to working out; served as a good warm up. Will have improvements from Week 2 to Week 12 in next week’s edition.

Sunday - Kenpo X + ARX
Kind of went through the motions on this, but got the job done. Maybe not as intense as the last couple of efforts, but still worked hard. Would have much rather been in bed resting. Completed ARX. Glad it was over. One week to go.

NUTRITION - May 11 to May 17
Ave. Total Calories - 2108
Ave. Total Carbs - 215
Ave. Total Fat - 66
Ave. Total Prot. - 167

Average numbers look okay. Individual days though are a different story. Had another double hamburger on Sunday and again, thoroughly enjoyed it. Calorie intake will continue to increase a bit, as training gets more voluminous (when I start running/biking/swimming). I am still losing fat/inches though, pants continue to feel looser, and close to seeing some ab definition. And, sorry to disappoint all of you but I won’t be posting pictures…
