Day 47: How Can I Sleep When My Legs Are Burning?

I felt better this week than last week.

Again I improved in all areas that I was able to. Especially kicking butt in the Pull-Up department. I hit 26 reverse grip pull-ups and I was able to come close to each of my first rep tallys the second time around.

Man this workout kills the legs. You don't think the Lunges are doing anything until you hit the final repa dn the cumulative effect hits you like a body check from Dion Phaneuf! (Just checking to see who's paying attention. Look him up, you'll probably see a picture of him pummelling someone into the boards! Why not just say sledgehammer? too Cliche, grasshopper! I am trying to improve my locutions!)

Ab-Ripper X was brutal again, and I will not be sad to see it go away for more than a week. I felt a twinge in my neck again during the program, but hopefully it will go away soon! I also did the whole routine without my shoes on because I couldn't figure out why I needed them. I felt much better without them, and then I realized why!

The shoes add about 2 1/2 pounds of weight to each foot. Duh! No wonder it felt better! I'll leave them on next time. I felt a little guilty about it.

Okay, not really. But I will wear the shoes again next time!

I did manage to do the Wide-leg sit-ups for most of it and did the "no-touch" option once again!

Every time we start the Mason Twists I keep hoping Tony will stop us at 40 like he says in the beginning.

I keep getting disappointed.

Sigh.

Another tough workout down. I am still worried about my results as I know that next week is a recovery week and I know I am stronger but the dang pictures loom over my head! Any advice on how not to be anxious about this? I can't follow the meal plan and it's messing me up. I know I'll never have abs like Adam, but come one, I want to lose all my flab!
