P90X2 Day 76: P.A.P. Upper

After yesterday’s comment about my yearning for foam rolling, I did extend the foam rolling during the warm up to include both arms and legs. That hit the spot (or spots), I guess.

Let’s try a summary by complex this time around. Remember that the P.A.P. workouts contain two “complexes” of four moves each, repeated four times.

Complex 1

  • I did all 4 sets
  • I completed 3 out of 4 sets of Plyo push ups; the fourth set was regular push ups
  • Plank on Med Ball (chair for me): Form is improving, and I am holding the position for the entire time
  • Superman with Weighted Bar (foam roller for me) is also improving

Complex 2

  • Towel Pull Up FAIL! I needed to adjust my resistance bands, but apparently I did not close the door properly. I pulled, and the door anchor came flying at my head. I also twisted my back a little from the sudden jolt.
  • The transition from pull ups to the Med Ball Pike is still too quick for me. Maybe it’s just my setup.
  • I am debating whether to increase my weights for the Step Up Hammer Press next time. Maybe I will try  the first couple at the heavier weight and see how it feels.
  • The Roller Angel is a relief compared to other exercises, but still not a break!
I think I really found my stride with this workout today. My weak point is still the push ups (Plyo and Renegade Row).
P90X2 Tip of the Day: When using resistance bands, make sure that door anchor is secure! A flying door anchor can cause injury, and be a little embarrassing.
