So, this workout was supposed to have happened yesterday, but because I was gone all day, I punted it to today. For the time being, I am skipping plyo (even though it's on the P90x schedule) because I am trying to minimize high impact activities until my right foot feels 100%. Plus, I'm doing a half marathon tomorrow - so I'm not sure how the idea of minimizing impact and then doing a half marathon reconciles with each other. Whatever.
Anyhow - since there's no plyo this weekend, it gave me an opportunity to catch up on the Chest & Back. The only potential problem I could see was that I am looking to do the Legs & Back on Monday - meaning only one day of rest in between workouts involving pull ups. So I'm a little concerned that my pull up numbers will be low on Monday. On the other hand, maybe I'll just grin and bear it. Maybe I'll end up surprising myself.
I haven't done this yet, but I mine as well start - logging on here how many reps I do for each workout. It'll give a better way to demonstrate improvement, as opposed to just saying 'yay I did more!' Plus, maybe the improvements will help motivate someone to give P90x a shot, seeing some real actual results.

The heavy pants, lawnmowers and backflys were performed with resistance bands instead of dumbbells. Even using the thickest band (blue), it is still tough to really feel like I'm working muscles much, so I usually go with an isometric hold at the top of the exercise. It provides something, but I don't think it is as effective as actual weights would be. As a result, the count for those exercises aren't really good for comparison, as they are usually an indication of how many I did before time expired, as opposed to how many were done before muscle fatigue set in.
