P90x Disc 1 Chest And Back Torrent
Melisa Niederhaus
The exercises themselves are classics. The back exercises range from wide grip and close grip pull-ups and chin-ups, with some bent over rows thrown in for good measure, while the chest exercises consist for the most part of a series of different push-ups. This keeps this workout simple, clean, and focuses on blasting your muscles with basic techniques, not advanced tweaking.
From there he moves into a stretching section, where you begin by rotating your head and stretching out your neck. What follows is a series of chest stretches, done slowly and powerfully, but I always opt to use the wall to stretch out my pecs. A yoga stretch is thrown in to strech out your lats, and he finishes off with a series of arm rotations, arms extended out straight and simply spin in tight and then large circles. From there you do some ballistic stretching like huggers and shakers, some backstroke arm spins, some reachers. The last stretches are a shoulder/tricep stretch, where you pull your arm across your chest and then reach behind your back, stretching out each in turn, and a final neck stretch.
