Just finished week 9 of P90X3, the first time I've done week 1-3's routines since the start. Wow, this is the first time I've REALLY noticed improvement!

I just finished week 9 of P90X3 which features Total Synergistics and The Challenge, both of which I did during weeks 1-3 but haven't touched since. Considering how slow I started with the program, seeing the before and mid-after on these routines is incredibly encouraging!!

Here are some notes:

  • My pull ups have progressed nicely. I started using 3 resistance bands to assist my pull ups. I also was doing ~8-10 during the challenge. I'm not doing ~10-14 pull ups with a single resistance band!
  • All of my dumbbell weights have increased, some as much as 100%!
  • I'm able to do the entirety of moves without rest, such as keeping up with all the Crawly Plyo Pushups during Total Synergistics
  • I'm also able to do the hardest level of many of the moves
  • My flexibility has increased substantially

A few things I still need to work on:

  • I only just started incorporating P90X Ab Ripper. It wasn't on my schedule so I never did it, but I felt like I could be doing more abs. The first few days after starting this I felt like my hip flexors were torn.
  • I plan on doing unassisted pull ups for the final 2 weeks of my routine. I hope to continue increasing my strength with a single band's assistance.
  • Now that the weather is getting nice, I started doing more extra curricular cardio on my bike and with running. I hope to push myself to more consistently do this.
