P90X - Day 17 - Shoulders & Arms / Ab Ripper X

Ouch. 

So I managed to complete both workouts.  Of course, I still can't quite keep up with the reps, but I am progressing. 

In the Shoulders & Arms routine, I increased my weight in almost all of the moves, with three exceptions, and those remained the same as last week.  The increased weight came at the expense of the amount of reps, but that's fine.  On a few, I was doing too many reps last week.  My target rep goal is 12-15 on each movement, since I'm looking for a lean physique right now.  If I was going for muscle bulk, I'd be aiming for higher weights and 8-10 reps max.

This is the last time I will do Shoulders & Arms until Week 9 (for those with math trouble, I'm currently in Week 3)

The Ab Ripper X routine will stay with me, three times a week (except rest weeks) throughout the entire program.  But I am, again, progressing.  I was able to do more reps that focused on the core and hip flexors than before.  It's just so damn hard to keep going after I spent so much energy in the previous workout routines. 

Damn that Tony Horton.  But I'll be thanking him in about six more weeks.
