C&B or: Work Ethic

Week 3, Day 1
Red Room
Krunch suggested that since that is our last week of this series of the P90X workout we actually try to talk specifically about what we did during the workout and how it helped or hurt us. (Fine! As you'll see from the pictures later in this entry Katie is clearly the more serious one in this enterprise).
Chest and Back (C&B, Cat and B*&ch, as in, geez! why do you have to be such a "C"? see? - my playmate ::clap clap:: come out and play with me ::clap clap:: and bring your dollies 3 ::clap clap:: ... - order makes me tangential) is basically an entire hour of push up and pull ups. Here's a basic overview of what we covered:

PUSH
-Standard#
-Wide (K's fave)#
-Military#
-Diamond#
-Dive Bomb (J's fave)+#
-Leg Inversion#

PULL
-Standard*#
-Wide*#
-Inverted*#
-Invert and reverse*#

OTHER
-Back Fly, hoho#
-Heavy Pants, hehe#
-Lawn Mower, haha# (J's Fave)


WIDE

DIVE BOMB

We do a difficult set of all of these exercises, doing roughly 10-15 reps per set or maxing out, then we do the whole shebang 3X. Yes?! Didn't you see the "X"? Coming to the third week of this exercise we're pretty amazed at how much more we're able to do and how (sort of) reasonable it all seems now. God, I hope Tony didn't here that? He'd strike us down with "X" force, beware the T-Zone!


Ab Ripper, on the other hand is invincible. I believe it is impossible to make Ab ripper any easier. I mean, it's ripping you abs! Ripping them! Ab Ripper X is a 15 minute routine of core/ab work that would make anybody scream, yet it's just subtle enough that you're able to walk the next day, and do it all over again the day after that.

Here's a basic rundown of the Ripper 25 of each:

-Bicycles (forward and reverse)#
-Some kind of terrible concoction where you do a sit up from laying flat and touch your toes, then on the slow roll down you allow your legs to come off the floor and finish it out with a V-up.*#
-Crunchy Frog#
-Fifer Scissors#
-Heels to Heaven (Hells? perhaps?)#
-I dont' know what these are called but I call them, "Get 'em ups"#
-Side ab angle crunch doodle+#
-Climbing the leg#
-Mason Twists#

I'll conclude this entry with some "Pull Up" and "Chin Up" photos - where are the pictures of Abs you may ask? RIPPED!
