Day 40 - P90X Chest, Shoulders & Triceps - 12/16

I'm writing this a day-after, because I managed to squeeze this workout in before heading out for the evening, and I didn't have a chance to do a writeup until now.

Both this time and last time I did this workout, I found the tricep extension workouts to be kinda tough because I'm a tad too lazy to continually change out the weight plates.  So as a result, I usually just pick a weight that seems relatively appropriate for all exercises in a particular routine, and just deal with it. 

The two twitch speed pushups are still killer, though.  I can manage the first set of four slow, and the second set of four fast, but by the time I hit the next set of four slow - I'm close to beat.  Plus, switching between speeds is kinda tough - it's like the muscles get used to slow and then when its time to do them fast, the muscles don't know how to respond.

There were a couple things of note this time around - being able to do another set of floor flys on each side, and I figured out that if I put my hand out farther on the one armed pushups, I can actually sorta do one (on my knees, of course).  Previously I had my hand in, almost directly beneath my chest.  Maybe eventually thats a good place to strive for, but for right now I just need to find some place to start so that I can actually do one.
