I am starting to love this routine. While some of the pull up exercises are difficult (corn cob, towel pull ups) you can use the chair to get the proper form and maximize the reps.
I am amazed at how many regular pull ups I can do now at rest or after a long break. Obviously later in the routine it is harder to do even the basic pull ups, but my upper body overall is definitely stronger.
As far as the bicep exercises go I think I either need to get a heavier duty band or get some more plates for my dumb bells. I could also get an extra 20 and 30 lb. free weight so I can mix those into the routine. Especially the strip set curls at the end.
I still think it is great that you do the chest and then two biceps in a row. It really targets all parts of these muscle groups.
The EAS protein whey power actually isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Adding the banana helps. I think it is worth it if it helps my recover time even a little bit.
For Ab Ripper X my thighs were a little sore... perhaps from Plyo a little. This made some of the ab moves a little tough to keep up with.
I have yet to do 50 of the Mason twists in a row ... my thing now is to get to 35 take a 5 rep break and finish the last ten with the video. I hope maybe after my next week I can tun that into a full 50.
