Day 32 - Back, Biceps, Abs

Day 32 in the Journey people. Great workout on the 6x6 mat. Did y'all know that the benefits of P90X can all be realized on a 6' x 6' mat? This is what makes the program great. No commute to the lousy gym...means you save cash and time...and that's what the X is for!

Back and Biceps feel great...and I did pretty good on the Ab Rip too.

Just knocked down some grilled Chicken, spinach and a protein shake. Tell me that's not sweet and i'll take you to the gun show!!

Be Good and Bring It!

Day 31 - Plyo

Plyo was the deal today. Jump Squats, Airborne Heismans, Rock Star Hops...all the kids were doin' it!

It feels good and even though I rewound the clock a little on the day count, it's still about getting lean and in shape, no matter what day you're on. Who's counting anyway?

Bring It or Get out of the Way!

Day 30 - Chest, Shoulders, Triceps and Ab Ripper X

USA! USA! USA!

Back home and tore it up good tonight. Decided to rewind the clocks back to Day 30 and started off with Chest....Ab Ripper. I got home yesterday afternoon and love the fact that I feel no jet lag.

Back in the Discipline Mode. Keeping it Lean. Keeping it Real. Bring on the X-Factor America!

Day 30 - ?

Not sure what day to put down. My plans to keep the X going got derailed by a few days. I was unable to put the X on in Hassi like I wanted. I did manage to get a decent Chest, Shoulders, Tri workout today in the gym here. Problem is your cabin room here is tiny and you can't drink the water. So what you have is a cramped little space and no place mix protein drinks and all that stuff. I'll get more workouts in before I get back to the US.

The desert is cool...but the camp is like a prison really. Nothing to do, no one likes living in Hassi and it's just a tough deal. I've enjoyed it - but the law of diminishing return is starting to accelerate.

Btw - eating crappy food - tastes good...but not lean and mean like we do it at Oak Ridge. Tomorrow I leave for Algiers for 2 days and then off to Aberdeen for a 4 day deal.

Day 37 - modified Back and Biceps

Did a modified workout today. No gym at the hotel and no place to use the bands to do "pull ups"....so i did the workout and when it called for Pull Ups, i did Push Ups. See the relation?

Decent workout. Didnt do Ab Ripper...I'm working on about 3 hours sleep and dont want to overdo it.

Tomorrow I fly out to Algiers at 840am. Early day. Need to get some rest.

Pics from the desert tomorrow...you've already got Parliament and Big Ben from today. That's enough!

Day 36 - Plyo then Flyo

Sunday was Day 36 - I brought it to the game...then went Flyo to London for a one day lay before heading to the Big A. Now I sit in some shitty hotel room at Heathrow looking for a work out place to bring day 37.

Did the double decker bus thing around London today. Man is this place old. Got some wierd cats running around too. Even their meows have accents.


Tomorrow I bounce out to Algiers and continue the downward spiral for the next 2 weeks.

One note about London...I asked one of the guys from our office "Hey, just tell me what part of town the Clash played...and I'll take the Underground there". Response: Camden. Result: Some shitty looking neighborhood hawking tattoos and piercings every 7 meters. End Result: Get the fcuk outa there...seen that stuff already.

Day 35 - Chest, Shoulders, Tri's + Ab Ripper X

I hate skipping days on the blog - even if yesterday was the so-called "Rest Day". OK - today was what we thought it was - Chest, Shoulders, Tri's and Ab Ripper. Felt great...did more pushups than last time. Got the pump going and man is it glorious.

Tonight we are celebrating Kathy's birthday - dinner at Stella Stolla and then a Hitchcock play called 39 Steps.

Tomorrow is Plyo and then I head to Algeria for a week and then a few days in Aberdeen. Back on the 28th. P90X will be well represented in the Desert and the Kingdom!!

Work Hard and Bring It!
