Today, Day 7 of The Asylum, got me through the second iteration of “Strength” from Day 2.
Still a great workout, and I think I got a bit farther through it this time.
I did not use the pullup bar at all. It is really only useful for the first set of that particular move, where we are doing pullups or flyes. After that, there are additional exercises added to the move, so it’s easier, I think, to just use dumbbells.
I wrote down some numbers this time so I can gauge improvement.
For the crazy Progressive Cardio-Dumbbell Rotation — there are three sets of that, each with more parts than the last — I did 8, then 7, then 6.
Progressive Pyramid Row/Pushups — I got up to 6 (or 7 — damn, I didn’t write it down after all) of each.
Something (I can’t remember, but will when I do it again) — 24 reps.
I like this workout a lot. So much — in fact, all — of the body is worked, and worked hard.
On a side note, today I received the fitness ball and foam roller I ordered to go along with P90X2, which ships in a couple months. I pre-ordered my copy of the program, and you can pre-order P90X2 today, too, to guarantee you’ll get it in time for your — or your loved one’s — New Year resolution!
