Bring the INTENSITY!!!

Week 5 of P90X has proved to be very challenging thus far. This past Sunday (the 25th), I started out with Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps with a side of Ab Ripper X. This upper-body blast left me feeling as if I was the strongest person around. After completing the workout, I felt so chiseled that I could bust out of the t-shirt I was wearing similar to how hulk Hogan used to. The next day I woke up feeling the most sore as I have been in a very long time. My chest, shoulders, and triceps were hurting; I could even feel soreness in my side around my ribs. This workout is definitely a winner.

On Monday (the 26th), I had to perform plyometrics. I almost forgot how draining this workout was because the week prior was my recovery week and did not involve plyometrics. By the time I finish it FELT as though I burned about 10,000 calories (exaggeration). I was completely covered in sweat once again.

Tuesday (the 27th) was designated for Back and Biceps with a serving of Ab Ripper X. Similar to the Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps workout done earlier in the week, this one proved to be very challenging. The workout left my biceps completely destroyed. Due to day 1s exercises, my triceps were completely trashed and after the Back and Biceps workout so was my biceps. Now both arms feel as though they will be out of commission for the rest of the week. Today’s session of Yoga X did not make things too much better with all the Astanga Salutations and Downward Dogs that were required. Even so, I definitely feel as though the intensity has increased compare to Phase I.
