P90X, Week 12

Tuesday - Chest, Shoulders, Tris / 1 Mile Run + ARX
Worked very hard today, gave great effort. All ‘weighted’ movements were about the same, maybe one rep less. But almost all body weight movements were increased from last time. A+ for effort, B++ for results. Skipped ARX in the AM, and will do that in the PM. Ran one mile. Very pleased with effort this AM.

Wednesday - Plyometrics + 1 Mile Run
Last day of Plyo, and I tried to go as hard as I could. I'll be honest, I'm glad I don't HAVE to do this workout anymore. It's tough. As with the past several weeks, I didn't do gap jumps OR the three sports moves at the end. Ran 1 mile after workout was done. Very good effort.

Thursday - Back, Bis + 1 Mile Run / ARX
I’ve decided that while Legs/Back is the hardest day, Back/Bis is the most painful day. Nothing about it is pleasant…at all. And of course, Katie makes it worse. Increased a few sets of weights and/or reps. Great effort, very pleased. Will do ARX in the evening (did it completely in the evening).

Comparisons:
Week 5 Pull Ups
23 unassisted + 15 assisted = 38 total pull ups

Week 12 Pull Ups
40.5 unassisted + 16 assisted = 56.5 total pull ups

AMENDED CHEST/BACK Pull Ups
Week 2 Pull Up Totals
23.5 unassisted + 4 Assisted = 27.5
Week 3 Pull Up Totals
23 unassisted + 11.5 assisted = 34.5 total pull ups
Week 12 Pull Up Totals
38 unassisted + 16.5 assisted = 54.5 total pull ups

AMENDED CHEST/SHOULDER/TRIS
Body Weight Exercise Total (push ups, chair dips, etc)
Week 5 = 151
Week 12 = 202

Numbers aren’t higher (at Week 12) because I increased lbs in all curl exercises, which will have an impact on my pull ups numbers. That increase is great (IMO).

Friday - Yoga X + 2 Mile Run
Ran in the AM, slept in late so I had zero time for Yoga. I was going to do the abbreviated Yoga, but heck, this is my last week...I did the complete version, the 8000 pushups, yoga belly 7, you name it...very glad that I don't have to do this any more.

Saturday - Back, Legs / ARX + 1 Mile Run
Ran Mile first as part of the warm up. This workout was NOT 'better' than last week, in terms of # of reps, it was the same. This workout is so hard; when you 'give the legs a break', you're hitting the pull ups. And each leg exercise is like a tough cardio workout, so when its time to go to pull ups, I'm exhausted. Arms still gave out like last time, at least my forearms did. Will have Week 2 to Week 12 pull up comparisons later.

Week 2 Pull Up Total = 43
Week 12 Pull Up Total = 91

Sunday - Kenpo X
As luck and irony (long story) would have it, I was in Charlotte for my final workout. I had to do this workout in the drive way of my inlaws house in the AM, iPhone on the trunk of my car guiding me though. I completed P90X, missing only one workout.

NUTRITION
Had two days where I ate odd stuff, so I couldn't record it. No nutritional data for the week, but I definitely did NOT over eat, and probably (due to travel) underate a couple of days.

Will have a "summary" of my own thoughts on P90X and my own results in a day or two.
