P90X - Day 57 / Seventeen Day Diet - Cycle 1, Day 11

Today starts the 4 Weeks of Hell for P90X Doubles.  As mentioned previously, P90X Doubles is the P90X Classic program with additional Cardio X workouts in the morning on certain days for a subset of weeks.  For the next 4 weeks, I'll be doing Cardio X on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings... yikes!  That being said, today's Cardio X was awesome, and I have a great deal of confidence that I am going to pull this off.

P90X Cardio X
As I said, Cardio X was awesome this morning... bring it!

P90X Chest and Back
This routine hasn't been on the schedule since Week 3.  I used to hate this routine, but now I love it.  I started out in week 1 doing about 10 to 12 reps for each of the push up exercises.  I'm now up to about 16 for most (some of the more challenging ones, I'm stlll at about 10 reps).  My goal is that by the end of P90X, I'll be able to do close to 20 reps for each of the push up exercises.  My new band is working out well for the pull ups, but I think I need to buy a stronger band.  Will try and get that this week.
