P90X Day 57 + The Abs Diet – Ab Ripper X, Chest And Back
Today marked the start of P90X phase 3, where you are constantly working the muscles in the upper body differently and thoroughly confusing the you-know-what out of them.
So here’s the breakdown of how it went today:
Ab Ripper X – Push hard. Push REALLY hard.
Chest And Back – Pushed REALLY hard. In fact, almost nauseated by the end. Had a never say quit attititude.
I’m writing this very post-workout (8 hours later) and I’m still a bit tired. Part of that was really bad sleep for the last 5 nights (with last night being a night to deal with our girls at some point), and the other because the muscles are adapting back to the phase 1 workout, really causing them to fire differently and harder.
I did lower the weights to get more reps in for a leaner burn. I’m trying to do more cutting over the next 5 weeks to see where I can get down to prior to Insanity.
Nutrition is still early on today, but should be good. I’ve added back a recovery drink to help with soreness and an extra energy boost post workout.
Pre-workout: 1 slice whole wheat bread, 1/2 banana, 1/2 tbsp PB
Post Workout: Old BB Results and Recovery drink
Breakfast: Shakeology
Lunch: McAlister’s wrap and salad
Snack – 1oz Almonds, 1.5oz Raisins
Supper – Going to have Baked Chicken, Steamed Veggies, and a carb of some type, not sure yet. I’m thinking oven baked potatoes
Late Snack? Probably a protein shake
