This is my second time around now doing the chest, shoulder and triceps routine in phase 2 of the P90X program. I really liked this workout the first time because you don’t repeat any exercises and that makes it very unique and keeps it fresh. The first time around last week I was really sore after this routine, my shoulders were feeling it for two days and so were my triceps. This time around my chest is sore the next day and my triceps are a little but other then that I am not all that sore. I am probably a little more used to it this time around and I did drop the weight down on some exercises to make sure I kept good form. Some of the exercises in this routine are really unique and even a little but awkward so it is very important to maintain good form to get everything out of the exercise. If you go too heavy you will mess up the exercise and won’t get as much out of it and if Tony Horton were standing there I am sure he would yell at you. Don’t go too light, you want it to be hard but make sure you are doing proper form and using weight that is really challenging, especially with exercises like the scarecrow and triceps extensions. Personally I can probably going just a little but heavier next weak and I will probably be feeling it more, but this was my second time around and I wanted to make sure I was doing everything right. Next week is the mastery phase and I will go heavier now that I am very comfortable with the exercises.
