Day 33 - Legs & Back plus Ab Ripper X

Boy, it felt good to work out today! New Personal Best for me for this round with 124 pull-ups and gains in the leg exercises too. ARX felt good, almost matching the video move-for-move, just a couple moves are a few reps short.

Wow! I just looked back on my old posts and discovered that I had never before surpassed 120 pull-ups! That makes me feel great!

Day 19 - Legs & Back plus Ab Ripper X

Good workout today, maybe the break yesterday had something to do with it? I did 110 pull-ups today, 10 more than last week. I found my second wind about 45 minutes into the routine so I felt strong for the last 2 pull-up exercises and the leg exercises in between them. Ab Ripper X was still a bear, but I finished strong and did the 50 mason twists at the end, too.

Day 12 - Legs & Back plus Ab Ripper X

I did well today, 100 pull-ups in total! I have re-joined the pull-up century club!

My daughter watched me do the last 20 minutes or so, patiently waiting so she could do some of ARX with me. She really enjoys it! She also gives me the motivation to push harder during ARX, to show her a good example. Thanks kiddo!

Day 5 - Legs & Back plus Ab Ripper X

First time doing pull-ups in about a year. I was a little below my standard in terms of reps, but not bad considering how long it has been since I used these muscles in this way.

The leg routines were tough; did you know that you use different muscles doing squats than pretty much any other normal activity? Especially one-leg leg squats? Ugh!

Everything was fine at the end until... dah dah dahhh! I remembered that I had to do Ab Ripper X afterwards!

I did better with it than two days ago, more reps although still with some modifications. I think I will have to reduce the girth of my gut before I can fully match the video for reps and style. It's a goal!

Round 4, Day 5

Legs & Back. Did it after work because I slept in a bit this morning and ended up not having enough time to do the routine before work.

I went to point of exhaustion on almost all of the 300+ leg exercises and over 4 minutes of static leg holds.

I also completed a total 114 pull-ups.

Recovery drink tasted so good.

Someone must have raised the height of the stairs in my house while I was working out!
