After receiving Coach McD’s response I was pumped to pump out some pull-ups.

Day 8: Chest & Back, Ab Ripper X

Well, I took Coach McD’s advice and used the chair during the pull-ups today. It was actually easier than I thought it was going to be. It worked out quite well and I felt like I got a much better burn going during the pull-ups this week than last week.

Here’s my Chest & Back Stats:

  • Standard Push-Ups: 12, 8; 15, 10
  • Wide Front Pull-Ups: 5, 3; 12, 14
  • Military Push-Ups: 10, 6; 12, 8
  • Reverse Grip Chin-Ups: 5, 3; 12, 10
  • Wide Fly Push-Ups: 10, 10; 12, 12
  • Closed Grip Overhand Pull-Ups: 3, 2; 12, 12
  • Decline Push-Ups: 8, 5; 8, 3
  • Heavy Pants: 10, 10 orange; 15, 10 orange
  • Diamond Push-Ups: 10, 3; 8, 6
  • Lawnmowers: 12, 15 orange; 15, 15 orange
  • Dive-Bomber Push-Ups: 10, 5; 8, 8
  • Back Flys: 10, 10 orange; 15, 15 orange

Just a short journal entry today, as I want to drop Coach McD another email to tell him the spot under my right shoulder blade feels better today, thank him for his prompt and detailed response, inform him that I am following his advice about the pull-ups, and ask him how his advice regarding free weights applies to doing P90X with the B-lines Bands.


My next letter to my MDB Coach, Coach McD, and his response will be coming shortly…
