I'd say the biggest thing about any workout is what you eat. I've done the whole p90x and insanity but the one thing that made me look even better now than before is what I eat. The food I consume is a lot healthier and more organic than before. No more processed foods

I'm an IT guy, I don't want ninja turtle neck.

Do lower weights at higher reps. Tony Horton makes this point repeatedly during the program that if you want more bulk/size, you use a weight that gasses you out at 8-10 reps. If you want to be more lean, then you use a weight that you can do 12-15 reps on.

Cool thanks!

Also, will p90x make me more attractive or will I still be ugly?

Won't do any good for me to be in shape but still look the same.

Dno if its been posted. But I HATE YOGA. Is it alright to take out yoga and just replace is with uphill cardio? Or do I have to do yoga to get p90 results?

.:bHd:. · 05-05-2011, 11:34 AM

Just make sure you get your stretches in. I hate yoga more than anyone lol

I'm down from 210 to 191. Will post a pic in a month after a nice GTL sesh haha

lol you need to learn to love yoga. You don't want to have muscle imbalances and flexibility issues. I do yoga once a week. You actually benefit a lot from it but you never really see the results. It's very progressive.

Flexibility goes a long way. Plus working on all those small microfiber muscles that will make you sweat buckets.

I was going to update once complete with round 2 but I decided to share my results now. Im currently on my 11th week of my 2nd round of p90x. Went from 200 lbs to 160 of muscle. I had a 16% BMI and currently at 5%. Waist went from 35 to 28. I will definitely be doing round three! I will post results after round 3.

I got the DVD's. One thing i noticed, is that many exercises are very similar to what we had to do in boot camp and widely used by military.

You are right, but its not the same with out the motivation of a drill sergeant. One of my drill sergeants was close to the age of 50, skinny, but he maxed out PT test requirements for the last decade. Great guy.

theriz · 05-08-2011, 01:02 PM

just got my P90x yesterday.

starting tom!

plan: to gain.. gain.. gain.. muscle.

timmahh · 05-09-2011, 11:22 AM

Alright.. today will officially be day one of p90x.

Took pictures last night, it's absolutely disgusting. I'm a cow.

Agent P · 05-09-2011, 11:45 AM

Day 1 for me as well. No more excuses. Hopefully this thread will continue to be a good source of motivation...thanks guys

timmahh · 05-09-2011, 12:49 PM

I'm tempted to post my before picture so i'll see it as motivation but I don't really want to see it.. Not to mention the photoshop madness that will occur.

335iaz · 05-09-2011, 01:20 PM

One question, can this be done with out the pull up bar??? what free weights are you guys using? (bands etc).

Trying to figure out if I want to dive into this or not

timmahh · 05-09-2011, 02:07 PM

I think you can go w/o the pull up bar if you have the big rubber band deal, when you watch the getting started video it's like BUY THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS!

I think at minimum you need:
p90x video set
pull up bar or resistance band
free weight set (5 - ?? lbs)

theriz · 05-09-2011, 02:18 PM

alright just got done with Day 1 of the Original Series.

and man i felt the burn and the abss, wow, the pain! lol

lets do this guys!!
