Day 29: Chest, Shoulders & Triceps (Oh, My!)

Talk about a shock to the system! If my muscles are as confused as my mind is, then the P90X legend is for real. It was a good workout, though.

No double reps during this workout. Twenty-Four (24) Different exercises and each one of them is killer. I had a few problems during this workout as first my light weight Blue Band broke one side. Then I broke the other side. And then to completely ruin my day, the MyGym band broke as I figured I was giving up using the regular bands. I was not happy.

It was also the first day that I had to split the workout in two due to interruptions and bad timing on my part.

Slow Motion 3-in-1 Push-Ups (These are very difficult, especially if you try to match Tony!)
In & Out Shoulder Flys
Chair Dips
Plange Push-Ups
Pike Presses
Side Tri-Rises (I don't know what the deal is, but these don't give me any problems)
Floor Flys (Almost impossible. I suck at these big time!)
Scarecrows (See, I'm always thinking! A tie in to my title!)
Overhead Tricep Extensions (This is also where my first two bands broke!)
Two-Twitch Speed Push-Ups
Y-Presses (This is where the MyGym Broke and I considered Kenpo Chopping the couch!)
Lying Tricep Extensions
Side-To-Side Push-Ups (Nice, but almost as hard as Fly Push Ups!)
Pour Flys (You don't get as much out of this with the bands. Bummer)
Side Leaning Tricep Extensions
One Arm Push-Ups (I did approximately "0")
Weighted Circles (You can do this with bands. I used my 3 lb weights. It was hard enough!)
Throw The Bomb (If the government is watching- don't paint me as a terrorist! That's the name of the dang exercise! It's football reference!
Clap or Plyo Push-Ups (Felt like a Marine, although I think Marines can do more than 8!)
Slo-Mo Throws
Front To Back Tricep Extensions
One Arm Balance Push-Ups
Fly Row Presses
Dumbbell Cross-Body Blows (This was really fun, especially with the bands.)

Overall, it was an intense and fulfilling workout. I am sure I'll get more comfortable with a lot of the exercises and then they'll switch me to something else.
