3rd p90x workout: shoulder and Arms w/ Ab Ripper x

I am definitely enjoying the p90x so far. It is nice not to have to think about whats next, and it is easier to get the right form with the pros doing it and correcting each other. Tony Horton is definitely a goof but he keeps it light. Alright well the shoulders workout was 5 groups of exercises. In each group is a shoulder exercise, a bicep exercise, and a tricep exercise. You do each group twice before moving to the next group. The bands I use go from easiest yellow to green to red to blue to black hardest. Also for many of the exercises you loop the band on the ground and step on it to make it shorter and harder. Pretty sure none of these exercises will make sense, but I welcome you to come and do it with me or bring some dvds over and we can burn them ( i think).
