Day 19 - P90X Chest & Back - 11/25/11

By doing Chest & Back today, I got myself just about back on track for my workouts this week, minus swimming - which I can do tomorrow or Sunday.  It's the most skippable of any workout I do, so if I don't get to it, thats not a big deal.

As suspected, having done the double session the other day (including back), I was definitely limited in the number of reps I could do today.  At first I just aimed to keep pace with the previous Chest & Back numbers, but on the second set I was having to take mid-set breaks just to do that.  Thats ok, though - I still managed to eek out a few more pushups and pullups overall as compared to the last time I did this workout.

And it figures - just as I start getting the hang for the grips on things like lawnmowers, heavy pants and back fly's while using the bands, I look at the worksheet and see that this is it for the Chest & Back until week 9.

That means next week is a recovery week - lots of core work, and a couple yoga sessions.
