Day 68 (Week 10)

Legs and Back, Ab Ripper X
Well today is my first workout in a week. Work and a trip out of town has been the cause. As a result I’m sorry to say that my diet has gone south as well. I’m definitely paying the price in today’s workout. I haven’t slipped alot in my progress [...]

Day 56 (Week 9)

Check and Back, Ab Ripper X
I’m starting phase 3 in the program which means another chance for some muscle confusion. The previous week’s workouts involved core training and cardio but gave the rest of the body’s major muscle groups a break. Now it’s time to “push to exhaustion and near muscle failure on every single [...]

Day 41 (Week 6)

Legs and Back, Ab Ripper X
Well I’m back on schedule and feeling good. The diet is back on track as well.

Day 37 (Week 6)

Day 33 (Week 5)

Day 29 (Week 5)

Chest, Shoulders & Triceps, Ab Ripper X
Here we go switching things up again. But that’s what it’s all about—muscle confusion. You want to prevent the plateau effect and to do that you need to keep your muscles from getting too used to any particular movement. The slow-motion push-ups are killers, especially pausing at the bottom. [...]

Day 15 (Week 3)

Chest & Back, Ab Ripper X
Man, I pushed this one. Towards the end I was feeling a little nauseous but that’s okay. After doing that many different kind of push-ups to failure it’s expected. I’ve noticed I’m adding some size to my upper body and the bodyfat is coming off. The abs workout was a [...]

Day 10 (Week 2)

Shoulders and Arms, Ab Ripper X
Good workout and I was able to increase my weights. Ab Ripper went better with no back pain.
