Day 9 - P90X Challenge - Shoulders & Arms / Ab Ripper X
Well, that muscle that was bothering me yesterday, still feels just as tweaked. I'm trying to stretch it, but I think I just pulled it... As I only feel it in very specific positions, and today is not a lunge or squat day, I should be able to move through my workouts with no problems. My right hip is still slightly wonky at times and my lower back is STILL bothering me- worse this evening actually... My body overall is aching less today though in regard to muscles I've been working out- both the plyometrics and kenpo workouts tend to shake everything loose.
Food:
Snack: Pico de Guaco and tortilla chips
Lunch: salad
Snack: 2 Dark Chocolate Hershey's Kisses
Dinner: Chicken with peppers - (post-work out)
Exercise:
P90X Shoulders & Arms
How Did I Do?
I did way better on the Side Tri-Rises that kicked my butt last time! 10 reps on each side, left me finally feeling good about my workout again. I also used much heavier weight through all of my reps giving me a more intense workout than before... I'm trying to really work on my stance as I think I pop my butt out too far behind me during weight work resulting into my lower back pain that keeps haunting me...

If you are getting back pain that is unrelated to the soreness that comes from building muscle, you might not be stretching correctly. Try stretching longer and in different positions to get your back muscles ready for a workout. Don't forget to stretch after a workout too.

Do you have any back stretches you recommend?
