P90X

Re: P90X

I think I am starting this on November 8th. Problem I have is I work in a warehouse and my job is to move around objects that weight between 50-400lbs. I unload trucks too and quickness is important. O worry I am going to be too sore to do my job well and I may not be getting enough rest/recovery.

But I hope to start on Sunday. The books and DVD's are cool though I gotta admit. First time doing something like this. I usually just did my own workout so it will be nice to be on a program.

Re: P90X

I loved phase 2. I dont know why specifically but the arms and shoulder work outs in phase 2 are my favorite.
Phase 3 alternates phase 1 and phase 2 work outs week to week so its cool. once im done with the 90 days its going to be hard to not just do phase 2 permanently lol.

That's because you should look huge after a phase II workout.

Re: P90X

I'm on week 3 of Phase II. Although I missed a couple days b/c of a 4 day weekend. I might re-do one week of Phase II before moving on. I absolutely love it.

Re: P90X

I did standard for a week, im thinking that lean is gonna be my route. It's doing a number on me and my endurance is coming, but im only in week 2 of phase so i'll just keep at it. Most of you seem to be doing standard. How many guys are doing lean and how's it coming along for you.

That will put us back on even ground again because of my sickness. This will be my third week coming up.

Good for you!

Sugar is incredibly harmful to your physique. Always remember that when you think about buying ho-hos or ring dings next time.

Re: P90X

In my last "heavy" week of Phase 2. Man do I feel great.

All my muscles are tense, and yesterday was the first time I was able to do a good amount of one armed pushups per arm. And I didn't slack on the other exercises either... I just felt stronger. I didn't even get enough water throughout the day either.

Just overall ecstatic with the progress being made.

Re: P90X

In my last month, and still as sore as when I first started.

Def. strong, def. more full of mass, def. worthwhile.

Can't recommend this enough!

Pared I think I'm gonna give this a try. What all do I need in my apartment as far as equipment?

Re: P90X

I finally bought some push-up bars at the Nike outlet near me and used them for the chest workout on Monday. These things make a huuuuuuuuuge difference, I can't stress enough how badly everyone should go buy a set. Mine were $15 too, you're not going to break the bank. And I'm 6'8 230 so you don't have to worry about breaking the bars either, they're very sturdy.

Pull up bar
Push up bars
Free weights/Resistance Bands
Mat (optional but better so you don't pick up any dirt. You'll be sweaty on the floor/carpet)
Chair

That's really all there is to it. The main thing is dedication and persistence. You need to be committed to it. Your diet should change too, and you'll see tremendous results, even if you are overweight.

Did ya?


I'm gonna be a bit crazy with it. I spoke to Pared about P90X and went ahead and got what I needed.

But now a coworker of mine wants me to do Insanity with him. I'm a bit worried that he'll slack because I already know that I'm extremely serious about this, so I'm keeping P90X as a backup.

The moment he tells me that he wants to skip a day, I'm jumping right on P90X and going forward.

And I will be starting this on Monday. Going to stack up on the foods I'll need in the morning and night (lunch and the 4th meal will be taken care of at work) this weekend.

Already have myself a food schedule which is mostly a combination of Insanity and P90X's Nutritional Plan. Just making sure I get a good mix of proteins, carbs, and fat and also pounding in about 3,000 calories a day (I'm trying to add weight).

Im just about through with Phase 1 of my second time through with p90x, after phase 3 I am thinking about going through a cycle of insanity. let me know how it is. It seems to be more cardio/ lose wait type stuff right?

I just know after this go through im going to need something different. I am already sick of Ab Ripper X. At least I have phase 2 coming which was my favorite section the first time through. I just have to get through my rest week next week.
