Day 33: Legs and Back with Ab Ripper X

Got the workout done early today, since we are headed to Kansas City after lunch.  I did fine except I struggled a little bit with the wall squat...not sure why.  I wasn't able to hold it for the full 90 seconds today.  My legs also got a little rubbery at the end of the "marathon lunges" as I like to call them.

As for Ab Ripper X, at the beginning I really though I was hosed.  My legs and hip flexors were spent.  However, I was able set another new personal record for reps...288.  I upped my Mason Twist number to 45!  Now, as I've said before, the form still isn't there on these, so don't think I'm doing 45 like the people on the video.  I've never touched the floor on them because I can reach it.  I get by my hip and that's about it.  Also, I need to get my chest up more on the leg climbs...I barely get my shoulders up.  On the oblique V-ups, I can keep my legs together and keep them off of the ground, but I don't get my shoulders up off the floor much except for the first few reps.  In other words, I have lots of room for improvement.

Off to KC.  I don't know where we are eating, but as usual I'm going to get the most healthy thing on the menu!  I'm thrilled with my progress, and there's no way I'm reverting now!
