Day 8 - Dallas Does Chest & Back

I couldn't come up with any cool title.  Sorry.

5am wake up - I was really curious to see how I would do today.  Not much sleep this weekend.

My first set of push ups I did 30 standard, 12 military, 17 wide, 12 decline and 10 diamond (which I did on my knees this week).  Second set I dropped off fast - 19 standard, 7 military, 16 wide, 10 decline and 7 diamond.  Last week I was much closer 1st to 2nd set.

Diamond push ups suck.  I hate them.  Denver told me to try my knees.  It let me go lower, but by going lower I was not able to hammer very many out.  We'll see how it goes.

Total Gym - This week I tried using my Total Gym for the pull ups.  Right now I feel like it worked my back more than cheating with a chair did (more legs).  I'll continue using it this week and then figure out I will continue until I can do one with the "great" pull up bar I bought for this.....great use out of it so far.

I increased my weight used in all the exercises.  Last week I didn't know what to expect, so this week I bumped everything 5 lbs.

Ab Ripper X - Still paused my way through it.  But I did finish it.  I'm looking forward to pausing half as much.

I brought it today!!
