Day 31 - Back and Biceps + Ab Ripper X

Tonight was my first time to do this work out. It's new for me due to my being in Phase II now. I was so pleased to learn that Tony had us doing 21's. I have some fond memories of doing 21's with Kent while we were in high school and the summers thereafter. I'm pretty sure we did that and preacher curls more than anything else. The bands worked really well for this routine, but this was the first time I really would have liked to have had some dumbells. I was having a hard time configuring the bands to the right resistance levels and I know if I had some dumbells I'd have done things a little smoother. Even so I had the most amazing work out and can't wait to do this one again...

I was able to roll through all the Ab Ripper X reps w/o stopping and was doing a pretty good job of keeping my form up. I still struggle of course, but I'm pleased with how I am able to do it. My legs could stand to be a little straighter (my up leg) during fifer scissors, but I just can't make me straight yet so I fight for hieght and do my best. I was able to get 45 mason twists before I crashed...took a couple quick breaths and hammered out the last 5.

I did the cool down and then hauled ass to the kitchen for my recovery drink!
