CRUSHED!

I've got two words for ya (no... not SUCK IT) - HOLY CRAP! By now I'm sure you know that I'm not a workout newbie. At the very least the first four weeks of P90X took care of that. Anyway, when I came back for my legs workout on Saturday I was tired, cranky, and just in an overall bad mood. I decided to bang out the workout like a madman and boy have I been paying for it! Here I was thinking that I crushed the workout, but in the end the workout crushed me. I'm happy that I pushed myself the way I did. I'm especially happy that I was able to do full pull-ups for all of the exercises.

Now I'm a second day soreness person which means that the first day after a workout if I'm a little sore that means I'm going to be in pain two days after. Well, on Sunday I was pretty sore which meant I knew I was in for some serious pain on Monday. I wish I didn't know my body so well because when I woke up this morning I was a hurtin' puppy. Normally I would complain about being sore, but this time I was actually happy (weird, huh?). My upper back has always been my weakest spot, and I've had problems getting it worked properly because I've never been strong enough to do full pull-ups. Thankfully that's no longer a problem because my back felt that workout!

Today was the wonderful chest, shoulders, and biceps. My arms feel like jelly making typing this entry a bit tough. I like the workout because not only does this do wonders in making me sore, but it helps build flexibility in my shoulders and triceps. Normally triceps extensions really bother me, but that's slowly been getting better. I'm hoping that by the end of this I'll see a significant increase in my weights because my shoulders are able to keep up.
