P90X Classic Day 35 – Rest Day or X Stretch
Mar 17th
I used my Day 35 as a rest day. Because Week 5 has been hectic as it is, I have been bad about ignoring the Yoga X day + any misc. stretching that should be taking place. Shame Shame I know.

UPDATED: – 6 sets of pictures below, January 17 2010 – March 15, 2010.
On January 17th, 2010 I began the photo process for measuring my P90X results.

P90X Classic Day 34 – Kenpo X – Punching Bag
Mar 16th
Used my punching bag yesterday in place of doing Kenpo X.
I tried to replicate as many moves as possible, but focused more on my form and some power with moves like jabs and crosses.
I added in some roundhouse kicks, hooks, and some footwork. All in all, I spent about 40 minutes with the [...]
P90X Classic Day 33 – Legs and Back
Mar 15th
Last night, I knocked out a great round of Legs and Back. WOW were my legs like rubber last night.
As mentioned before, I have replaced doing regular pullups with my lateral pull down bar, as I strengthen my back muscles so I CAN move to pullups at a later date.
Previously, I was working with [...]
P90X Classic Day 32 – Yoga X – Skipped
Mar 15th
I actually decided to skip this day. Just had a lot going on, and even though I said I no longer wanted to “skip” days, prior to this week I have missed roughly 16-20 days of working out…I do want to get moving forward.
So I skipped Yoga X. However Legs and Back are next and [...]
P90X Classic Day 31 – Back and Biceps
Mar 13th
WOW…I am really feeling it in my muscles this week…lots of soreness, but that tells me its GOOOOOD.
So Back and Biceps went pretty well, I felt like near the end my energy level was dropping, but I kept pushing through.
For many of the exercises, I used 20lb dummbells, then 15lbs for several others. Then for [...]
P90X Classic Day 30 – Plyometrics – The Repeat
Mar 9th
I am simply repeating Week 5 as mentioned per my post from yesterday.
I DEFINITELY felt more tired, my stamina and cardio was less, and I just struggled more today all because of that lapse in time that took place when I got sick.
I got through the workout…and it was good, but I could tell I [...]
Finally hooked up my punching bag
Mar 8th
So one thing I have wanted to do for YEARS…and just never had time, was too lazy, or {insert excuse} was hooking up my punching bag. It has literally sat in the corner of my garage for 2 years and I finally have a place to hook it up after all this time.
I built my [...]
P90X Classic Day 29 – Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps – The Repeat
Mar 8th
So after dealing with various issues for the last couple of weeks (bouts of sickness, time constraints, work related stress, etc…) I am finally back on the ball.
I restarted Week #5 this morning since I didn’t want to restart halfway from last time. That just seems….well…wrong.
I definitely feel weaker then where I was last time, [...]
Used my punching bag finally. Meet Ivan Drago – video
Mar 9th
Posted by Bryan K. in General
So I decided to put in a 20 minutes punching bag session last night. Overall, I feel good about the power I can put behind my punches, though I tend to be more one sides focusing with my right arm, which has always been my dominant arm.
Now before I get all types of comments about [...]
