Since this is my third start at P90X, I am familiar with the first couple of DVDs. I was not able to get too many reps in and of course I need the chair for all the different pull-ups. This was my first time using JACK3D. I can say it really helped. I never used a pre-workout drink so I was a little skeptical. The taste is good and it kicked my energy way up! A couple of things I have picked up after the workout are:

You want lower reps with heavier weight

- 8-12 reps for size
- 10-12 reps for

Listen to Tony and “Do your best”

- Focus on making the reps that have better form

Make sure you write down your reps and keep track of the weights used. I am sure keeping track of my progression will help keep me motivated and tell me how much I need push for each work out.
The work out finished up with Ab Ripper X (ARX). I tried to do all the exercises, but I probably did half the reps. I have to keep telling myself to focus on quality not quantity.

After the workout I had a Whey protein shake with milk and started the first day of the P90X diet.
