I just got home from the DR. Week long trip. Ate like any person would eat on a vacation. I feel TERRIBLE. No working out + bad food intake. Where do I start on my road to recovery?

Question for all you experts.

Would it be possible to get in shape and add muscle mass at the same time? I'm not talking running several miles a day, more like maybe jogging a mile or two every other day to get back in shape. At the same time I want to keep lifting and hopefully continue to put on muscle. I guess I'd just like to know if I can have a happy medium.

Yes.

But, to gain the maximum amount of muscle, you don't do any cardio.

Going to the clinic would be a good start

I read a funny article a few years ago about how NBA players lament their loss of muscle mass during the season because of all the cardio they do during practices and games. Some lose as much as 20 pounds during the course of the year IIRC. They try to lift and take in lots of protein, but they still lose their guns.

Just bought the P90X program set. Waiting on it to arrive. Going to go through it with two of my roommates. Can't wait. Finally going to have the support and the tools (p90x) necessary to transform.

Re: For all you guys wanting to gain muscle, size, etc.

I don't understand what the big deal is about this P90x

If you are going to the gym, hitting the weights the right way, getting your cardio in, and having a great diet (as I'm expecting that they supply you with a diet guide).....you're going to see some great freaking results after 90 days or three straight months of doing everything the right way.

IMO, it's a waste of money.

But, if that's what it takes for someone to be disciplined and stick to their program, then the best of luck to anyone that has it.

I was just at my friends house, his dad, who also happens to be a state senator, used p90x, I was pretty surprised. He was on day 45, and was actually looking pretty strong.

P90X is the devil!

I finished the chest and back DVD and thought I was a hurting unit, but then the Ab Ripper X came right after and I only then found the definition of pain.

P.S. - Tony Horton is an animal.

i like p90x because it keeps you on a pace for your workout. i could go to the gym and get the same workout and same results but it would take me like 2 to 2.5 hours to do the workout. i like being kept on a pace...

So what do you do if your body favors one side? I don't want to keep working out, only to have half my body looked ripped and the other half only buff lol.

What exactly do you mean it "only favors one side"?

I think he means that one side is growing faster then the other.

^^ This. Not sure if someone just glancing at me would notice, but I can tell that my left side (arms and chest at least) are bigger than the right.
