Week 3 - Arms and Shoulders

1-20-10
I’m writing this in the afternoon today and I have felt extremely well all day. I went to bed fairly early and the morning came fast. I certainly didn’t want to get up, but, of course, I did. Today was arms and shoulders, and I’m still feeling that pain in my shoulder. It’s not too bad though. I think it’s around the rotator cuff (which are small muscles and shouldn’t been involved too much on the heavy workout). At the end of the workout, I did 25x25 and 20x20 of the final one arm triceps exercise… keeping up with Tony and crew is a good feeling. I’m pretty tight in the arms, shoulders and chest right now (oh, and my back, and my abs…). I’m sure I’ll be a little sore tomorrow. I look forward to the Yoga X other than I have to get up even earlier to finish it. I like that work out (which is tomorrow) because I get all stretched out and relaxed. I’m not taking anything away from its toughness. So… 3 more workouts then recovery week. I didn’t make it to recovery week last time around. I’m interested in how easy it is. All in all, I have some aches and pains, but I’m feeling good.
I will touch on the ab ripper x work out quickly. It’s short and sweet, but tough as hell. I noticed some significant improvements today. I have really struggled with the roll up/V up exercise. I can get up and touch my toes, but I didn’t think the V up would ever happen. I made it up on 9 out of the 12 v ups. I’m getting stronger and I like it.
