*The Official P90x Progress/Motivation Thread*

Garduna · 06-07-2010, 08:54 PM

True, the whole P90X program was to replace ur gym routines. If you really hit a plateau, I'd suggest doing the ful P90X program.

The reason why I don't really do it anymore is because I'm already used to changing up my excercise routines every few monthes. It's all about muscle confusion

McMuffin · 12-02-2010, 08:27 PM

Since everyone stopped posting I take it everyone stopped working out like me... Haha Gonna attempt to try it again next month...

Its so hard to get back into it. I gained maybe 50 lbs? since my last I posted.

I got an awesome deal at LA Fitness that I couldnt refuse so I took it. Been goin their for almost 2 weeks. I mixed up P90X Workout with my own at teh gym and its working so far.

Will post pics soon.

Spool · 12-10-2010, 04:06 PM

i play a lot of sports, im usually within 5 lbs of my regular weight...which hover at 150-155...then i got into a motorcycle accident, my friend rode behind me and couldn't stop in time because this lady turned left infront of us...so he plowed into my leg and jacked it up...i couldn't be active so i started partying a lot, way too much...drinking beer and taking shots and eating at 5am is the most horrible thing u can do to your body...so yeah i put on an extra 10 lbs, tits sagging, beer gut, lack of energy, sleep all the time...one day my gf told me, "honey ur getting fat" that then, i looked in the mirror and realize shit, she's right..

so i started getting into P90X...it was very discouraging because i can barely do half of the exercises they do...doing 20 pull ups right after doing 30 pushups? get out of my face, not gonna happen....so i did what i could, i go until failure...i gave up drinking, i drink more water and eat healthier, incorporate more fruits and veggies into my diet...i took a before pic, which is on the left, and about 3 weeks into P90X (pic on right)...i look like my old self, but im not stopping, i also joined a gym last week and is going to start bulking up...so hopefully by summer i'll be ripped...

this might not look like much to you guys, but i definitely feel healthier and more energetic...lost the gut and the upper abs are starting to come out...

thanks man, for those that doubt P90X...don't, it really works if you keep at it...you are NOT going to keep up with them...doing 20 pulls up right after 30 push ups? get out of my face..not gonna happen...but if you can do half that, or go until failure, you will get results...some sooner than others...eat right, and stay away from anything sweet

Turbo>NA · 12-13-2010, 02:04 AM

Damn spool thats very nice. Another cycle on P90X and you will be beyond ripped. Keep it up.

bhoch · 12-18-2010, 01:26 PM

Starting a new round of P90X Sunday, Jan 2. This will be my 3rd time through P90X.. have done it twice and P90X+ 1.5 times.. ( I say 1.5 because I decided to stop the current round last week, taking a break and starting P90X again.

Anyone else starting a new round beginning Jan?

JhnR · 12-18-2010, 01:38 PM

does it include work out gear?

the only thing i have at home is a Pull up bar which i use, and seen results as well. of course mostly is upper body and abs.

does this work out plan come with meal plans as well?

P90X does come with a nutrition guilde. It does not come with any bands or weights... You would need to have which ever you want to use.

I have dumbbells (5 through 50 lbs) and a pull-up bar in a room with a TV/DVD player so I just use that. You don't need a lot of weights, but I would think you need some as there are weight lifting days and cardio days with the program. You also need about 1 hour - 1.5 hours a day (6 days a week) for the program.

I probably need to get a llittle heavier dumbbells for several exercises now, but may just continue to use the 50's where I can.

JhnR · 12-20-2010, 03:21 PM

oh great thanks for the info..

Turbo>NA · 12-22-2010, 04:44 PM

Yeah, I'm going again starting next week. 2nd time around. It's a great way to make a winter fly by.

Spool just motivated me again!!!!! I'll be starting another round in Jan.

AW335TT · 12-28-2010, 01:33 AM

Its so hard to get back into it lol. I've been wanting to start again for like 2 months but im so fkn lazy. My brother is starting insanity in about a week ill probably just start doing that with him, than do a round of p90x after.

Turbo>NA · 12-29-2010, 04:53 PM

29 Days in with my complete diet.
10 Days in with my pre-contest diet
10 Days in with P90x

I dropped a full pants size.

One advice I can give. I dont care what energy booster drink or pill your taking or what song motivates you or how happy you... NEVER stop during P90X. Always move around, because when you stop your body gives in and shuts down and you get lazy. Keep jumping!!!!!!!!!1

If anyone is curious, Im doing P90X, Up hill Sprints, and LA Fitness everyday. non stop

just remember the body needs at least a day of kicking back.

I'll be running the Baker 2 Vegas run for my department in April, so now I'm kinda forced to stick with it. I'll be substituting cardio with running every other week. Really hoping I can stay motivated this time.

duk · 12-31-2010, 04:23 PM

I just started a week and a half ago, on my 9th day! Wish me luck... gonna make it happen by my bday in march! best of luck to you all!

import36 · 01-03-2011, 10:36 AM

daym good shit Spool and Vladdy! well i'm starting back on P90X today. as you can see previously in this thread...i got through one full month before getting sick and falling off the program, but in that time i had lost about 12lbs...which is a lot for me considering i'm not really overweight...just trying to cut up. the program definitely works if you stick with it...and like Spool said...when you feel like you can't go on just keep kicking/moving around!!
