So, a little over a year ago, I completed P90X for the first time. I tried to start it again the first of 2011, but got busy after about a month and had to stop. I tried again in June, and lasted a month, then bought a house and moved and spent a lot of time working on the house....and stopped working out. Needless to say (especially considering how I've been eating since Thanksgiving) I am now pretty much back to square one. This post (which I will update tomorrow to compare the other numbers) is going to look at where I was when I originally started, when I finished, and where I am now.

1. Pull-ups 1/4 2 1/2 1 1/2
2. Vertical Leap 22 1/2" 25 1/2" 18 3/4"
3. Push Ups 12 1/2 24 1/2 25
4. Toe Touch 0" +4" +2.5"
5. Wall Squat 1:17 2:30 1:08.5
6. Bicep Curls 25 reps 52 reps 13 reps

2 min. 120 102 104
3 min. ??? 90 104
4 min. 100 85 100
Needless to say I was a little shocked that some of these numbers were lower than the originals (vertical leap in particular), but it might have had something to do with the fact that I did this at the end of a Saturday after spending about 6-7 hours outside working on Eagle Project, Grounding Rods, and Yard Work. I was very excited to see that I was essentially able to do just as many push-ups as I could when I finished.
