I decided to rest yesterday so if you're wondering what happened to yesterday's post... I didn't do one.

But today.... I BROUGHT IT! Great work out today. I feel like I have made so much progress since day one. Today's workout was Chest and Back and ABX. I remember doing this workout on day one and how much trouble I had. I felt GREAT today. Because of the way P90X rotates routines I have not done this workout in a few weeks. I was surprised at how many more reps I could do today compared to P90X day 1. I doubled my reps in some exercises. Got a fantastic pump out of the workout too. I look in the mirror and like what I see.

I just took my body fat measurement and here are the stats.

Day one - 21% - 25% Body Fat  (I was not that good at working the calipers when I started but it was somewhere between 21 and 25%)

Phase One completion (Day 28) - 15.3%

Phase Two completion (Day 56) - 14.8%

The numbers don't make it look like I have lost a lot of body fat but it just may be that me and my calipers are not that accurate. What matters is how I feel and how I look and how my clothes fit. And the answer to all of those is... great!

Injury update - Elbow is fine today, I don't feel a thing there. My left Glute is another story. I had thought that I was suffering from ITBS but that may not be the case. After doing some more research today I have come up with a new "syndrome of the day" to call my own. It's called Piriformis Syndrome. And it sounds closer to what I have. More info about it here at the Wikipedia Piriformis entry.

I think it's from a lot of sitting combined with ramping up the jumping and squatting exercises too quickly. I will take it easy during PlyoX tomorrow and make sure I stretch during the day until better.

Till next time... Bring it!
