Day 45 - Back and Biceps - Ab Ripper X

Well on Monday I worked out with my brother and tried out his Bowflext SelectTech weights. It felt so good to use actual weights again and I was hooked. Now this doesn't mean that the bands aren't awesome and can get you where you want to be...I was just ready to move to the next level. Today marked my halfway point through the P9oX program so I felt like rewarding myself. I looked around for used weights, but learned that Sports Authority was offering the SelectTechs for $399 and they were throwing in the stand for free! The stand is a $160 value so I went ahead and made the plunge!

Seeing as how it is halfway through the program I figure I'll go ahead and post my progress picture as well...The work out tonight was amazing. I used the Bowflex weights for the first time and even though I STILL don't have a pull up bar I had the most amazing post work out pump. I was feeling really good through the whole work out and really pushed myself to get the absolute best work out possible. It took me longer than I expected to put the stand together so I ended up skipping Ab Ripper for the night. I can't wait to get to use the weights again...
