Today was my first P90X workout using my new pull up bar. Now we're talking. P90X just got a whole lot more intense. As I sit here writing this post, I can feel the difference. My muscles are singing like a choir full of little boys. Can you hear 'em?You'll notice the top of a folding chair under my foot in the photo. I can't do a single unassisted pull up, so I have to use a chair to provide some support. Believe me, these pull ups are still tough as hell. I did eight sets of pull ups totaling almost 70 reps. That's about half the number of reps I would have done if I were using the bands but I feel twice as sore and tired. This pull up bar is really going to kick up the intensity during these last four weeks of P90X. Yeah, baby!!!!
I also increased the intensity of the other exercises during today's workout. I bumped all of my weights up five pounds. If I did static bicep curls using 20 pounders last week, I did it with 25 pounders today. I can feel the extra burn. Thank God I brushed my teeth before working out because I don't think I could lift my toothbrush to my mouth if I had to brush them now.
As you can tell, I am very, very excited about taking my P90X workouts up to a higher level. Perhaps now I'll start seeing the results I've been fighting for.
