P90X Review Legs and Back (Day 26 - Phase 1)
I started my workout later in the day on Saturday. I started the workout with a sore back too, since earlier that day I helped my wife unload a TV she received from her parents after they upgraded to a flat screen. It wasn’t a huge TV, but the weight on those things always seem to be off center. I strained my back a couple of years ago when I took a week off of work and installed a brick paver patio. Not sure if it was the excavating with a shovel and a wheel barrow, or hauling the crushed rock from the driveway to the backyard, but I now have a back this a little more susceptible to backaches - that and a really nice patio.
Anyhow, what a day to have a back ache than the day I work on developing my back muscles. Since most of the exercises work on the upper back, it didn’t slow me down until I finished Legs and Back and went to Ab Ripper X. I eased through it and my back didn’t feel any worse than when I had started.
In fact, the benefit that I’ll be gaining from P90X is a stonger back and core muscles which will reduce any soreness in my back. The following day my back felt fine so I was ready to bring it one more day and then X-Rest.

Good job powering through your workout with your sore back. It takes great focus and concentration to workout with back pain.
