Legs and Back are a constant switch between leg exercises and pull-ups. You end up doing 6 different rotations on pull-ups. That being said, I am really seeing improvements with my pull-ups. Embarrassing enough, I couldn’t do 1 pull-up day one. Today I did 7 reverse grip the first round and 5 the second round! This is huge for me! The rest of my pull-ups were improvements as well. This is such a great motivator and really got me jacked for my day.

JACK3D

Speaking jacked, last night I stopped over to Vitamin Shoppe and picked up a refill on JACK3d. Talking with a few workers there, they recommended the Fruit Punch flavor. I have only used the Lemonade before, so I decided to give it a shot. Unfortunately I am not a fan. It is a little too sweet for me first thing in the morning. I will be heading back today to exchange it for Lemonade. If you are using JACK3D, it is on sale right now at Vitamin Shoppe. I believe it is $27.99. Like everything, I am sure you can find it cheaper online, however I like the convenience of stopping by the store, talking with the workers and comparing items.

One last note, the worksheet for Legs and Back is messed up. It only lists the pull-ups and the week numberings at the top are all off. As such, I will be creating a new sheet today and also creating a downloads sections on the site.

• 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.

Pre workout:

• JACK3D – I compared this to N0 Explode and Accelerade. I choose JACK3D because it has less caffeine than others and it a little cheaper! The taste is great, if you like lemonade, and it goes down real easy.

Post Workout:

• WHEY Protein powder – Mixed with skim milk, this drink tastes good and really aids the body in rebuilding after workouts. Make sure you drink within the hour immediately after your workout.

Vitamins:

• Vitamin Shoppe Men’s multi-vitamin

Protein Bars:

• These are great for in between meal snacks or when you are looking for an extra boast of protein.
