X2 Recovery

Day 3 2/1/12

X2 Shoulders + Arms & X2 Ab Ripper

Again, doing much better this week. Cardio is the limiting factor for me. My 24 year old son is fine.

Day 4 Rest

Day 5 2/4/12

X2 Yoga My son is doing well but I’m just doing ok. I get tired doing so many Sun Salutations.

Very good week for both of us. My core is much stronger. Only when I was competing in Powerlifting was my core stronger.

Day 1 Chest + Back + Balance & Ab Ripper

Excellent push-pull and this ab ripper is better than P90X.

1/23/12

Day 4 X2 Shoulders + Arms & Ab Ripper

Really liked this Biceps, Triceps, Delts sequence.

Good core and lower body workout.

1/9/12 Gym Workout

X2 works my legs hard and my upper body only slightly.
I rested my legs before Plyocide and did weight training for the upper body today.

1/11/12 X2 Recovery

This is a great recovery program. Foam rolling plus!

1/12/12 Gym Workout

1/13/12 X2 Total Body

We are getting much better. Really feeling the core improvement.

Difficult workout but at my age I need flexibility and balance more than I need muscle size. Excellent yoga program.

12/29/11 X2 Balance + Power

Difficult workout. My legs are not in shape. I’ll take my time. My 24 year old son did very well.

My son (age 24) and I (age 64) started P90X2 today.
We finished P90X strong a few months ago.
We did weight training for two months after we finished P90X.
Also, I became a Beachbody Coach. (P90X, P90X2, etc.)
My entire family did so well with P90X I had to join this tremendous company.

12/19/11 X2 Core

Well designed workout. As expected, we struggled some, but this is only day one.

12/20/11 Plyocide

Good workout. We are still out of shape but we’ll be fine.
This is an excellent plyometrics workout, I like it better than the Plyometrics in P90X.

12/22/11 X2 Total Body

Hard workout. My legs feel it the most. I really like the balance elements.

Weight Lifting Routines

Barnett-Fitness.com News and Calendar

Today I did day 1 – Shoulders, Back and Chest.

For shoulders I did seated cable presses (28 lbs per side) for 5 X 8.

For Back I did Lat Pulldowns (130 lbs) for 5 X 10 and Seated Rows.

I finished with light seated Bench Press (100 lbs) using super slow tempo for 4 X 10.

I also changed tempo within sets, for example reps 1-3 normal tempo, reps 4-6 super slow, reps 7-10 explosive.

Today I expanded my website content on the following link that relates to this post:

Weight Lifting Routines

I’m continuing with the 2-on, 1-off routine as per my last post.

I wanted to comment on the sequence of muscle group selection. Normally, I suggest working from the largest to the smallest muscle groups.

See Website Article

However, in that I have historically done Chest, Back and Shoulders in that sequence–my Chest is better developed than my Shoulders. Therefore, by changing the sequence to Shoulders, Back and Chest I’m better able to even out development.
