Today was actually the last day I’ll be doing the P90X Chest and Back workout for awhile. Therefore, I’m hoping I will be able to continue adding reps. However, the P90X workout is designed with a training technique called “muscle confusion” to prevent your body from reaching a plateau. I’m somewhat worried though that I won’t be able to keep adding reps like I’ve been doing. That’s a 20% increase in push ups, and 32% increase in pull ups. I’ve added 24 push ups and 12 pull ups to the P90X Chest and Back workout from week 1. For the exercises where you use the dumbbells (or resistance bands) I added 5 pounds to my dumbbells and stuck within the 8-10 rep range.Īfter looking at my P90X Worksheet, I’ve definitely made some very good progress within the first 2 weeks of the P90X workout. By the time I got to those exercises my arms were exhausted so I stayed at the same reps for the Decline Push-Ups and I ended up going down 2 Dive-Bomber Push Ups from last week. For the second set of push ups, I added 1-2 reps to the push ups with the exception of the Decline Push Ups, and the Dive-Bomber Push Ups. Also, for the push ups I added 1-2 reps on the first set of push ups.
P90X Chest and back went great today! I really pushed myself and was able to add 1 pull up to each of the different pull ups (on both sets). Day 15 of the P90X workout is done! Today was Chest and Back and Ab Ripper X.
