Stuff Secretaries Like (The Crunch Edition): Chest and Back - Diamonds are a Girl's Worst Enemy (?)

Week 2, Day 1: We begin the first series again (for two more weeks)! Chest and Back

“When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure” - Peter Marshall

Well, you know what they say- keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Diamonds? Enemies? NOOO. Au contraire, reader, if you think of diamonds as they relate to push-ups. Scared yet? I am. Today marked the first day of our second week and we're still going strong (pun)! Sort of! Chest and Back consists of a heaping pile of straight push-ups, for an hour, with a dash of pull/chin-ups for good humor and a couple of forgettable dumbbell side dishes that don't hold a candle to those other bullies. Regular push-ups, butterfly, dive bomber, decline, military and diamond, ah! Then, in between trying to keep your face from getting in a fight with the floor (as your arms have likely turned to porridge), for up to a minute at a time, you have to leap up and try doing various styles of pull-ups or chin-ups (comical my dear Watson). I can't even talk about the latter, because, well..we can't do it. Tony, you heard me, we can't do it! I personally will makeout with you if I can do even 5 wide grip pull-ups by the end of 90 days. My comrade's goals are probably similar. Shew, moving on. In conclusion, of all the push-ups, diamond are the bane of my existence and the enemy that chases me in my dreams. Like Mr. Marshall said, though, diamonds are made under pressure and, well, the pressure is definitely on in P90X. And in the end, maybe I'll have my best friend back.

Love,
The Princess Cut Secretary

P.S. Ab Ripper X: WHY DOES IT KEEP GETTING HARDER, TONY?!?!?!?!?!
