I just finished my first workout of P90XR2 - Chest and Back. I'm pleased to announce that my intensity and feeling of strength was better than I remember. I attribute that to the two weeks I took off which gave my body a chance to rebuild and recover from the previous 97 days worth of torture. Where I was recording 10 pullups with a chair or with a foot tap on the floor between reps before, I was doing 10 pullups completely unassisted, fast, and strong. Nice. I beat my Round One numbers in just about every category, especially pushups. And this is the first workout of ninety. Nice.
I must admit that not doing abs for three weeks (the last week of P90X is a recovery week with only yoga belly for abs a couple of times) has left me a little on the weak side. I had to take a couple of red-faced breaks during my old nemesis, Fifer Scissors. But again, first workout of ninety.
I can only go up from here.
Nice work on the P90X. I just came across your blog and saw you are into Rd2 ... very cool. I just finished up rd 1 and am beginning P90X + PLUS on Monday. I have been keeping a blog also: www.danglethecarrot.blogspot.com
Check it out and let me know what you think ... I very similar results to you! P90X is a godsend!
