Day 71: Chest and Back with Ab Ripper X

Today I "graduate" from my first workout as this was the last time I do Chest and Back.  Looking back on how I started this workout on day 1 (Day #1 Blog Post) it's pretty amazing how far I've come.    One Day #1 I did 9 standard push-ups total in 2 rounds.  Tonight, I did 32.  Now 32 is one round for the guys on the video, but that's a huge improvement for me!

How about some of the other push-up exercises:

Military push ups?  I did one rep (non-knees) in the first three weeks!  Tonight I did 8.
Wide fly?  Three total (non-knees) the first three weeks.  24 tonight.
Decline?  1 rep total the first three weeks.  10 tonight.
Diamond?  Averaged 7 (non-knees) per week in weeks 1-3.  Did 19 tonight.
Dive bomber?  Averages 11 in weeks 1-3.  15 tonight.

As for the pull-ups, I'm still using the band, but have moved back to get more tension and am now doing the same amount I was doing with less tension earlier in the program.

Ab Ripper was a new rep record again tonight...332/349.  Getting there...want that 349 by day 90!

Plyometrics tomorrow!
