And so begins my Chest/Abs workout regiment.  I will do the following workout for 3 consecutive weeks before I change it up.  This workout is meant for quick strength gains and I plan to raise the weight atleast 5 lbs every week.  Unfortunately, I don't have any dumbbells heavier than 50 lbs so I can't go up on Incline Bench Press until I get some.

Today I did the Yoga X video from the series P90x and will not be doing any pure strength training on my chest this week.

I changed my Chest workout today to develop a little bit more muscle endurance.  I am using the Chest and Back video from P90X by BeachBody.  I also did a set of Pull-Ups between every set of Push-Ups.  I did each exercise once and then did them all a second time attempting to do more than I had in the first set.  All Push-Ups were done using the Perfect Push-Up.  I will repeat this workout for 3 weeks.
