Day 5 – Legs and Back and Ab Ripper X

The “Legs” part of Legs and Back is a bear. Whether it is the “Balance Squats”, “Wall Sits”, or “Dead Lift Squats”, this workout has your legs screaming for mercy 5 minutes in. I was not able to make it completely through this workout, but I can already tell this is going to have my legs crazy strong. What else I like about it is that it is promoting ankle strength and balance, these are all things that I need in large amounts.

Doing my back was not bad. I have a chinup bar of course, but I am still going to use the bands for awhile due to being to large and not strong enough to heft almost 300lbs up to a chinup bar. I know eventually I will be, just seems I want everything now. I can already feel the DOMS setting in from the bands workout around my shoulders, shoulder blades, and in my “wings”. This workout is going to be one of my favorites in the long run I think.

“Get ready to squat, lunge, and pull for a total-body workout like no other. While the main focus of this workout lies in strengthening and developing the leg muscles (quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves), there’s also a handful of great pull-up exercises to give your legs a quick breather while you work the upper body.”

Day 3 – Shoulders and Arms and Ab Ripper X

This workout is amazing. The sheer number of exercises you do in this excruciating hour is ridiculous. By the time the “bonus round” started my arms felt like jello. I have always liked working out my arms, but this time since I am doing the Power 90 X Lean Routine, I am using lighter weights with higher reps in a hope that I will gain some muscle stamina. For the fighting I do this will help me much more in the long run. I am planning on doing the Power 90 X Classic Routine as my second run so the Shoulder’s and Arms will always be around.

Of course Ab Ripper X is always the bane of my existence. That may be the hardest I have ever worked my abs in my entire life. The pain (It’s a good pain) in that workout is just crazy…
