Day 45: Back & Biceps (And Tony Cheats in Ab Ripper!)

I have suspected it for a while now. I couldn't understand why my counting was so far off from Tony's in Ab Ripper X.

So I watched.

Carefully.

He doesn't count correctly in the Reverse Bicycle exercises. I'm at 25 and he starts counting from 19. Not even close!

I'm on to you, Tony. There are a few other counting errors throughout the programs. You will not be doing my accounting, Mr. Horton, that's for sure! The nerve of that guy, trying to trick us into doing more than we think we are doing!

I did show some improvement in Ab Ripper x as I was able to do some of the cross Legged Sit Ups in lieu of the Wide Legged version. I also did most of my Leg Climbers with only the one touch at the toe (or would that be no touches? Whatever it was, it was cool!).

The Back and Biceps is always a fun workout, because the routine is for the "Glamour Muscles" and it feels good working the Biceps especially.

I improved in pretty much everything, and it's always motivating to see this type of improvement on a weekly basis. I was able to do switch-grip pull-ups (although I can't switch while hanging. I guess it's kind of cheating, but I'm still doing the work! I don't know why these tire me out so much more than all the other type of Pull-Ups. I even managed the Corn-Cob Pull-Ups AND the Towel Pull-Ups without the chair this time.

I did 18 Wide Grip Pull-Ups, but my callouses are starting to bother me when I do the pull-ups. My padded hand grips are in a permanent position, so it makes it difficult.

I love the Congdon Locomotives. Awesome feeling.

I also improved a little bit with my Hammer Curls. My right arm is stronger than my left. I still tilt my body when I am trying to push through the left hand curls.

Yoga tomorrow. I'm excited. (okay, that was sarcastic, I know, but I can't stand the first half of that workout and then finishing with Yoga Belly Seven!).

Later!
