Day 1 of p90x. Chest whatever x and ab ripper x. It was tough, but do-able. The guy is a little annoying, but I like the vibe of the whole thing. I couldn't do everything well or with lots of reps, but I am confident that I will be able to.

Two nagging questions: 1. How do I do this and running? I don't know if I'll have that kind of time. But I guess I'll just run when I can. 2. How do I do pull ups without a pull up bar or a place to use resistance bands to mimic a pull up bar? I guess I'll just google that to see if anyone has some suggestions.

Chest whatever x. LOL! Yeah, just do running whenever you can. I got faster than I ever have been in my adult life when I did P90X and my running went way down. So, I think you'll be all right. As for the pull up bar. Buy one. They're pretty cheap at your local sports store. Get the kind that hooks to the top of your door frame, not the tension bars. They'll fall, and you'll get hurt. And make sure you have a door that has about six inches clearances from the top of the frame to the ceiling.

Not trying to look for an excuse, but I'm doing it with a friend and I do not have a convenient door frame in the room we will be using. However, I think I found a good solution to the problem online. It's close, but I think I'll still get x'd even if I don't do a single pull up :)

Sounds extreme. You could just do handstand push-ups.

Ha! The chair pushups were hard enough! I think I did 1. I had to laugh while I was trying.

you are going to be so ripped. at the end of this, you will be able to lift a monster truck tire over your head and throw it precisely on Burt so that he can't escape.

From Burt on Mon, May 27, 2013 at 20:41:22 from 72.223.88.98

Hold up. Hold up. Will the tire land on me or around me?

depends how you treat Tracy the next 89 days.
