I've heard good things.
Questions for those with it...
What do you have to buy that doesn't come with it? I've heard dumbbells, pull-up bar, etc.
Seems like it would be worth getting.
I want to use this, but I would rather eat tasty food.
Wonder if I could find an in-between balance by working out but still eating shitty?
true story, you can get ripped by jogging, crunches and doing pushups every day for free.
You don't need to spend the money to do this. Just push yourself. Get your lazy asses off the couch and do something about it. Every exercise that is shown can be done in your house without much equipment. If it takes a DVD for you to workout, then good for you, but it's money you don't need to spend.i'm going to beat your ass in about 3 months for calling me lazy.

Well, I went ahead and bought it with the pull-up bar package. Looking forward to it. Gives me something to do besides running.
How much are we talking after you get the dvds and the accessories? $250ish?around there. i know a lot of people are down on spending money on what you otherwise don't have to but that's just rough ridin' Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). it would cost a hell of a lot more to have a workout program designed to the level this is. so STFU retards.

If you wanna get cut P90X is okay.
If you wanna get big (you should) then lift heavy and eat a lot.
P90X doesn't build a lot of muscle..
Hey dumbfracks, ever heard of Amazon or Ebay? Got mine on Amazon, for way less.
Good luck after first Plyometrics day. Hope you enjoy your last day for a week or so walking and sitting on the crapper without pain. This is the best workout.
I took my "before" pictures yesterday, and will take them at the 30, 60, and 90 day interval to see progress like directed.
Do you have to watch the dvd's as you're doing the stuff or can you just learn the workout from the dvd or otherwise and do them while watching other stuff?. If I'm gonna work out at home instead of at the gym, I want to be able to watch my own shows or QUATZ games while I'm doing it.

Include your head/face in the pics and when it's time to see the results, have _FAN or somebody put a pak head over it. We'd likely use them somewhere on this site. Look what goEMAW did for WildcatNkilt!!!
Already tired of Tony Horton after 1 video. He has to 1-up everybody. I'm going to get to the point where I can be like "O yea Tony!? I'm going to do 26!" (Cause Tony would say 25).

you pretty much have to watch it for the times. After about halfway I turned the volume down, because I was tired of hearing him say the same things every day. I can pretty much recite the dialog in every video. You will start to really hate Tony Horton.

there is a reason he is like that. He is a total badass. You should see the stuff he does in more advanced videos. Wow. Man crush.
Mine is getting delivered today. Also got the pullup bar package.
I've never used workout supplements before. Is this whey protein stuff going to taste like ass?

Thats the million dollar question. I didn't see a flavor listed when I ordered. Some protein mixes aren't half bad, but others are :barf: .
Yep, it's orange flavored. Will start tomorrow and give a full report.
The resistance bands came with the pullup bar. Debating as to whether I should buy some dumbells.

do plyoX today? if so, how'd it go?
Welp, fifth day of omelets so far. Strong start. Missed one on Tuesday, but covered it with late afternoon omelet on Wednesday. No real results yet, but EXTREMELY optimistic/gassy.
tony horton is fracking crazy and i want to punch him every workout.
the food is actually pretty good though. expensive as hell, but pretty good/healthy. and the recovery formula is not bad, goes down smooth.

My doing the high protein/ low carb on my own will. I travel too much to be able to make/buy what they tell me. I enjoy the recovery drink. I'm glad it doesn't taste like crap.
Did the X-Stretch last night. Ready to get rockin' on week 2 tonight.
I've noticed some of the videos have a "Cues and music" option, where it shuts Tony up during the repition and allows him to speak when he explains the stretch/lift/pull etc.. Pretty nice option.

I have not missed any days. I've been staying on schedule and plan to stay on schedule for the entire 90 days. I feel like following the schedule and diet are the only way to get max results.
First week was tough. Pretty sore for the first few days, but the Yoga-X and Stretch-X helped out with the sore muscles. Each workout is at least 1 hour long, 1hr 15 min if you do the Ab Ripper-X (which I strongly reccomend). The Yoga-X is 1-1/2 hours long.
I think it's fun, and time seems to go by pretty quickly. Hardest part for me is the dieting. I love food and have a problem controlling my portions. So far I have done great with the dieting.
OK I'm one week in and i am already ripped. my abs are razor sharp shredding machines and my biceps are incredible. my quads have transformed into octos. i feel like i could eat a brick then crap it out as shiny gold bouillon. wow, P90X is the be(a)st.
Having the steak salad and shrimp dinner tonight. :lick:
i drink 3 liters of water per day.
nope, just pee a lot.
no. should i be worried since i drink a lot of water?

Dehydration = major cause of kidney stones.
k, i always thought it was from over using your kidneys to filter too much hard water which would cause crystals/stones to develop. this is good news.
kind of.
Water Sucks. Gatorade is better.hfcs :flush:
peeps on bodybuilding.com said Beachbody Insanity is harder than P90X, does not use any other equipment though.
Yes, me. I did it for a week before spring break, but then I ate like a fracking hog last week, so I am re-starting it 2 morrow.
I freaked when I saw Pullen doing Mason Twists from ab ripper with a weight in the K-State Confidential video. Those are my favorites, but not with a weight.
Please let me know when one of you guys quits and sticks this crap in the closet. I'll buy for $12. I will then proceed to use and then quit myself and give to a fat friend for a birthday present. I'll tell them it was kick ass or something.
so i quit P90X and started P100X yesterday. man, i'm going to be so much buffer and stuff than you P90X dumbasses. :gocho:
Just finished day two. Doing ab ripper x can make a guy feel pathetic. :cry:

Lol.
I could barely do a single Mason Twist the first day. Cranked out 30 by Day 8.
BTW, the part where he does the raptor walk and goes "Ab...ripper....X" only gets more and more annoying.
no, day 1 is chest/back & abs.
tomorrow is worse?
shazbot!.

OMG yes. Plyometrics is rough ridin' brutal. Might want to put some recovery drink in your water bottle. I highly recommend it. I've got some in mine...
Also, skipped yoga and just did cardio again. Yoga sucks.
JFC, you weren't kidding about the plyometrics. I pushed myself to keep up with them the whole time, now I want to die.
I'm noticing a trend. How long into this thing before you don't want to die every night?
My man-titties (a cups) hurt like hell today.

Yoga today. Nervous about that, I'm not extremely flexible.on the flip side, the stretching video makes you feel better :dunno:
Plyo definitely leaves you feeling the most sore, but my arms are pretty much on fire. :runaway:
Finished my first week. Went from being insanely sore, to moderately sore. Ready to start week 2.
I did 40 Mason Twists, suck my balls felix rex. :gocho:

I have a friend doing p90 and he can do 30 pullups. anyone to that point yet?
i'm the same as you ^
been on a STRICT diet for about four and a half days now and can already tell a huge difference. it's weird. all i eat is egg whites, tuna, cottage cheese, almonds, and carbmaster yogurt made by kroger. and lots of water.
i've done p90x off and on since last summer. always had muscle, just never ate well enough or stuck with the program consistently enough to see great results. but "this time i'm going to do it." :blah:

Yeah no kidding... The dieting side of things is rough. You start to crave the strangest things when all you do is eat tuna and ckn breasts and brown rice. I have found that eating a teaspoon of peanut butter helps with the satiety a little bit. I remember when I was18-2113 I could eat whatever and still keep kickin' abs. Now I just have a slab! Good luck to ya man.

hey, old fat guy, anybody in this thread that is partaking in the workout is obviously wanting to get into better shape. so fat jokes are like, not insulting us. :dunno:
Just took my official "before P90x changed my life" photos. After I hit the 90 day mark I plan to post the before and after pics. Be warned my abs may shred your mind. :chainsaw:
I'm like, way too lazy for it. I did it for two weeks and stopped. It works, but I missed the good tasting food and wasn't very good about actually doing the workouts every day.
No. I'm going to try again later. Right now I'm enjoying dippin dots.I'm like, way too lazy for it. I did it for two weeks and stopped. It works, but I missed the good tasting food and wasn't very good about actually doing the workouts every day.
I think this comes as a complete shock to nobody. Can I buy your Pwhatever90 crap for 12 bucks?
pussy!
I'm about to finish week 2, I'm pretty happy with it so far. It's tough, but I am already seeing some results in my biceps and forearms.
Here is my thing about the p90x.
Is it a long term solution? Because sooner or later, you aren't going to do it anymore.
I mean, does it re-wire you? I always thought a better idea would be doing something you know you can do every day the rest of your life's.
Any graduate students on this board w/any input? (Maybe a kinesiology/public health major)
Perhaps it comes down to one thing.
At the end of the day, not all of us can look like Doug Gotlieb. :cry:
More updates plz.
Started week 3 today, pretty awesome. I did so many powerful pushups that i pushed a hole all the way to china.
:shy:
*grunching*
can i skip leg plyos because i have bad knees?
if i'm already super-skinny, is this "workout system" optimal?
is it true nobody really finishes it?

yeah, don't do it if you're injured, d00d.
the 2nd day's workout is almost 100% jumping type moves, you probably can't/shouldn't do it if your knee is injured.
I've lost 28 lbs in 3 months w/ little to no exercise. Just starting the exercise stuff now. ^_^
I acquired the videos for this a couple of weeks ago. Still haven't tried it. Something about exercising at home I can't get into.
naw, not that fat.I've lost 28 lbs in 3 months w/ little to no exercise. Just starting the exercise stuff now. ^_^
Wow, you must've been like Biggest Loser fat, amirite?
Well, while I'm waiting for my knee to heal, i'm going to get everything ready to start this program. I have a chin up bar already. What about dumbbells? I was thinking about getting some of those adjustable ones, but they're pretty expensive. Do i need a pair....like do you use two at the same time during this stuff? And how much weight do you need....25lbs or more like 50lbs. Please note that I am no weightlifter but not a total wuss either. TIA.You need two, and you do a lot of reps with them in a short amount of time, but they say in the guide you're supposed to have an amount of weight that will be getting difficult to lift about your 8th rep.
Worked for me. I had lasik eye surgery about a month ago, so I wasn't allowed to work out while I was recovering, but I'm starting again on Monday. Kinda missed Tony and his awkward flirting with his female helpers.
I downloaded the vids last week for the hell of it (would never buy this program) and have been trying it out. I'm already in pretty good shape, so I have no interest in following the diet or even doing the program in the suggested order.
The workouts aren't overwhelming but definitely challenging.
sounds like everyone that does this gets hurt.

I finish Beachbody's Insanity workout in 2 weeks (lost 21 pounds in a month and a half) and then thinking of doing P90X. Don't wanna buy the pullup bar though (already have dumbbells).
Kind of tired of working out 6 days a week though, prolly take a little break.
Do any of u doodz who quit want to sell me ur used stuff? As in dvds and guides. Holla at me. The knee is just about ready to go.
Ok, so my knee is finally all better and I started P90x yesterday!!! Could barely lift my kid out of the crib this morning. Holy crap!! And I hear today's workout is the worst of them all (plyo). If I die tonight, it's been real.

plyo ain't no biggie, just make sure if your hr gets too high to hit pause. they will be there when you get back.

Well, I'm one week in and I'm pretty sore. I've learned a couple things:
1. Tony is annoying
2. The girls on the DVD's are not pretty
3. Yoga sucks
4. I am weak
Overall, I think I'll be able to stick to it. My last day will be on Thanksgiving so that worked out well. :thumbsup:
Just started doing crossfit. Anyone heard of it? I'm out of shape but some of the workouts make me feel like I'm obese.
Also I don't think I'll ever be coordinated enough to do a double under.(jump-rope)
http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/best_sellers/insanity.do?tnt=INS_SHAKE_B1Insanity is much better imo
No equipment required, also Shaun T is less annoying than Tony (although you are working so hard you barely even hear him)

I have no where to put a pull up bar. 8' ceilings in my living room and have an 8'-3" standing reach. goddamnit!
All you need is the $20 thing that hooks into any door frame you can buy at walmart or target
wouldn't hurt to have a set of bands too.
Currently on day 39 of P90x. Kind of disturbed that I haven't lost any weight.
No, i'm pro-pull up, just can't do one. I haven't tried in quite awhile though.Will you need a pullup bar if you can't complete a single pullup? tia.Do you need any equipment to do p90x tia

are you completely anti-pullups or have you thought about getting batter at them?
You also need weights and stuffHow many pounds? one of each? I've got a 25 and a 10 right now.

The easiest way to get better at pullups is to lose weight. It's completely a strength-to-weight ratio issue. If you can't do one at this point I'd guess your first step should be cardio and toning anyways. There's also several workouts you can do that work most of the same muscle a pullup does that you can do to strengthen your back some.

If you've done 39 days of P90 you've definitely lost a lot of fat, but you've also gained muscle, and muscle actually weighs more. It's rare to lose much weight with a workout like P90x that has a lot of weightlifting. I'd have to know more about your body composition to really give you good advice if you really want to lose weight. But if you're just a little overweight I wouldn't worry about it much because you're replacing fat with muscle which is the healthiest way to do it.
Try lifting lighter weights for higher reps and keep moving in between exercises to keep your heart rate up. do all the cadio and plyo stuff. If you're eating right you should definitely see some weight loss at some point.

I am really good at dips but suck at pullups. how the f is that possible? :dubious:

Well, they're both body weight exercises but they use completely different muscle groups. Your chest is probably just stronger than your back, which is true for 95% of people that don't live in a gym.
The thing about pullups is that a lot of people suck so bad at them at first because they require muscles that most people have never worked out before. The best way to get stronger at pullups is to just do assisted pullups. or stand with one leg on a chair and pull yourself up. The important thing is to keep working these back muscles, because if you only workout your chest you can pretty easily get an imbalance going, which can hinder muscle growth, cause injuries and over time cause back pain and alignment issues.

Didn't really need to lose much weight -- 5'10 @ ~170 lbs. Wouldn't have minded losing 10 lbs or so, but I was surprised that I after working out 6 days a week I hadn't seen any weight change at all. At the 30 day mark, hips and waist went down by 1/2", but arms, legs & chest grew by 1/2".
Haven't tried the diet at all though.

hmmmm, probably much stronger in the chest due to my intensive routine of doing 20 pushups sometimes
Well you sound pretty set with that pushup routine you were talking about so I'd just stick with that. Maybe try to like go out in the garage and lift a heavy box with your back every once in a while just so your bulging chest muscles aren't slowly pulling your vertebrae apart.

no pain, no gain
Mods, make Benja official goEMAW personal trainer.

You're gonna need several different weights. If you don't want to buy a small weight set than you can just go get a couple bands. Bands are actually better for a lot of people's needs anyways.

are you talking about those big rubber band things with handles? Also if I am a skinny person but have no muscle definition and very little upper body strength what's the best way to gain some muscle? (hypothetically)

Took last week off, really missed it, so weird I hated it to begin with but now I'm addicted.
Will my hands ever recover from knees to elbows/pullups?
Im not going to be caught dead wearing lifting gloves(see fashion thread) and tape slips off.
have been slacking on my 20 pushups sometimes plan. has turned into more like 20 pushups a couple times in a month. maybe time to hire benja to personal train me.

We will have to work on a routine... good news is, you're pretty far ahead of the curve with your years of rigorous pushup routines.

I'm pretty much the best eliptical'er at my gym too
you really don't need the pull up bar but it's good.
also, you hook it into a doorway and bend your legs, i'm v tall (taller than sys) and it works fine. v hard to do, makes arms big.

Yes, you can even buy servicable ones at walmart. How skinny are you? Are you only interested in gaining some muscle? The best thing to do is just start somewhere, if you haven't done much lifting before, you'll have good gains at the beginning no matter what you're doing, really. If you really want to gain some serious muscle, start with the three major lifts (bench press, squat, and deadlift), buy some protein chowder, and stick with it. After the first couple weeks you can move on to other stuff.

(Hypothetically) 6'2", 170 lbs, yes I want to gain muscle, I don't really care about the muscles that make you stronger, I just want the muscles that make me look bigger, I'll listen off the air
thanks sd next time youre in the wildest of wildcat country feel free to pm for wod or regular pak
can also tweet or pm you some of the wods we do if you are being serious
all of you 'tards doing crossfit will have some serious joint problems years down the road. I'm sure doing 30 kipping pull-ups makes you feel like a badass, but when you have to get both of your shoulders replaced in ten years, you're just going to feel like a dumbass.
YLA, has anyone you seen go from skinny to big doing strictly Crossfit? It seems ideal for people who are either overweight or those that have been lifting but in a rut. For me, I wasn't doing much more than the bar, and was sore every single time to where I couldn't work out for a few days.

if you want to gain size and strength just start doing the three main lifts (bench, squat, and deadlift) I also would recommend adding in the overhead press. when I was 20 I realized I wanted to be a firefighter but only weighed 115 lbs at 5'9". no joke. I started a workout routine that involved these three lifts, and put on 25 lbs of muscle in a year. all of my lifts at least tripled if not more. that was 6 years ago and I still stick to the same basic routine, mixing it up every few months for muscle confusion. Now I'm at 165 and look like a total badass.
obviously, you'll have to work in other exercises to tone your smaller muscle groups, but trust me these lifts are the keys to fitness. They helped me compete in the firefighter combat challenge (look it up) and place in the top ten nationally.
just my success story :gocho:
also reminder kstate has the free 10am workouts every saturday at the barn(ahearn) :eye:
