Day 38 – Shoulders, Biceps, & Triceps/ARX

Interesting workout today. First of all, because I didn’t do Plyo until my son was in bed last night; then I got up at 4:30 to do this workout. Always odd when I get two workouts done during the time my son is sleeping. I much prefer to work out the same time each day, rather than do what seems like back-to-back workouts. Also disrupting routine was the fact that my palm/wrist bone as bothering me on my left hand. Usually it’s my right hand that gets unhappy during tons of push-ups. I used my thickest mat, but still had to stop a couple of times due to hand pain. Really don’t know what to do about that. Maybe hold my hands differently? Or get push-up stands?

Push-up stands seem like a wise purchase at some point. We have some cheapo ones we got, but they rotate and that doesn’t work. My husband has found that he can use his 40lb weights as push-up stands. But he generally works out in the basement and keeps them down there. I don’t foresee myself carrying 80lbs upstairs to use. I’ll likely keep doing what I am and then if it turns out the push-up stands are necessary for P90X2 I’ll get them then.

I recently wrote on my calendar the day of P90X that I’m on. Turns out my last day (day 90) will be on 12/29. So, I’ll have a couple of days off before starting P90X2 on 1/1. Or, maybe I’ll have to start on 12/31 if I want to keep my day off as Friday. That’s something I’ll have to decide based on my daughter’s sleep patterns and if/how they change between now and then.

I felt bad for my husband this morning because apparently my daughter wanted to get up with me. Being the wonderful person he is, he let me work out while he tried to figure out what she needed. By the time I was done with working out they were both sleeping on the couch. And I had about 18 hours until I get to sleep again.
