Have some pirated copies. So far have only used the abripper x and the stretch dvds.  Would love to do the whole program but haven't taken the time to buy the dumbbells, chin up bar, etc...

Love the ab workout though - very tough.

You'll be pretty sore for the first couple weeks, but you'll get really good results.  Wife has it she has dropped some weigh and added tone. If she keeps it up maybe she'll get rid of me.

I have a copy of the program and have tried several of them. The AB Ripper file is tough.  You'll feel horrible for a few weeks, but afterwards you'll feel great. The toughest part of the whole program is the diet and nutrition aspect. You'll get results without it, but not even close to the potential if you use their diet. I recently started back on it. I'm into week 3. :runaway:

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.
Title: Re: Official P90X thread
Post by: WillieWatanabe on February 14, 2010, 07:19:18 PM
Did it for about 5 weeks. Definitely noticed a difference. I didn't stick to the diet though. I ate healthier, but didn't count calories or stay away from certain foods they hate. Now i do about 2 or 3 of the workouts a week, depending how i feel. I have copy from a friend as well.

The "supplemental" drink is pretty important too

Dumbbells or resistance bands and a chin-up bar. They also suggest push up stands.

I ordered it today too.  weird.

Have friends who swear by it.  Doesn't build muscle as much as it makes you trim and increases endurance.  Have also heard it's very hard to stick with - will be interesting to see how it works out.

Title: Re: Official P90X thread
Post by: WildCatzPhreak on February 14, 2010, 08:15:59 PM
DVD's/Nutrition Program/Original Package - $140
Equipment - $30 - $250 depending on what you need, the quality, etc.  (What you need is a pullup bar, and either dumbells or a resistance band.  (One or the other) Optional yoga mat.
Nutritional supplements - No idea really.  Still waiting for my order to get delivered.

90 day program, about 6 hours a week workouts, and you have to stick to a strict diet for best results.

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've never tried it but I used to work at a gym and can vouch for it working.  It's pretty intense and most people have problems sticking with it. It definitely builds solid, lean muscle.

This can be true, but it is definitely an "easier said than done" logic.  It's tough for most people to create a high intensity work out program that it isn't completely repetitive.  P90x will give you a variety of different ways to work out the same muscle groups, which is what you want. 
Title: Re: Official P90X thread
Post by: Stupid Fitz on February 15, 2010, 09:01:09 AM
I did about the P75 X.  Ran into the holidays.  It is pretty difficult and you will be very sore the first couple of weeks.  Especially from the waist down.  The corncob pullups are redic.  I am pretty sure humans aren't supposed to be able to do them.  You def need a pullup bar.  I would also recommend maybe 25 and 15lb dumbells.  You can also go to Dicks and get a set of the resistance bands, but I would prob get all of the above.  The biggest problem I had was the time commitment.  They are mostly around an hour but a couple of them run almost an hour and a half.  If you can do the diet they suggest more power to you, but we just ate healthier and had pretty good results.  Like most people have said, it is pretty difficult to stick to it for 90 full days, due to the time it takes every night.  Def a good workout though. 

Good Luck

I've been looking at their website, but haven't dove in to the ordering section.  Do they offer the pull-up bar and all the other accessories on their site?  Hope so, because I have crap for sporting goods stores around here.

Post by: WildcatNkilt on February 16, 2010, 04:26:09 PM
Yea, after you buy the DVD's, they will go through about 4 more insentives.  The first one being a package that includes pull-up bar, 3 tension cords, P90X drink mix, and something else that I don't remember ($200 value for $100). 

The pull up bar is $60 w/o shipping and tax if you buy it alone.  Seems like a heavy-duty and better quality bar than what I've seen at stores.

Did the first workout last night.  JFC.  90 days of this crap and I'll be able to smash bricks between my biceps and forearm. 

With the video and accessories, the total price ended up being around $300.  I took my "before" pictures yesterday, and will take them at the 30, 60, and 90 day interval to see progress like directed. 

If you need a plyometrics/yoga mat, I reccomend going to target or somewhere to buy one.  The one Beachbody sells is $85.  My fiance has a couple so I just use those.  I'm currently watching downloaded content, but I should receive my DVD's, Pull-Up bar, Power Cords, and the rest in a few days. 

Day 2 is Plyometrics.  Plan on doing it after watching the Cats win big tonight (maybe before if I have time)

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.

Buy 'em.  They'll always be useful.

Can be doubled as push-up bars, without having to pay the ungodly price of $40+

I did it.  It was extremely intense.  My body is aching pretty hard.  +1 on the hurts to sit on the toilet thing. 

No doubt that if a person stays on this schedule they could see some amazing results.

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.

Cool.  I only ask because the gym I worked at always promoted it real hard but 95% of the people that try it stretch it out of a 6 month period of time, which deems it worthless. 

How's the yoga?

I hated the yoga.  It was pretty hard too.  1.5 hours is way to fracking long.
Title: Re: Official P90X thread
Post by: WildcatNkilt on February 23, 2010, 12:19:22 PM
Yoga is intense.  If you are like me, some of the moves won't be possible at this point.  Over time I can definitely see this helping flexibility and overall muscle growth.  Hell, some people do Yoga only at a gym and get into really good shape.  1.5 hours is long, but whatever Tony says I do.

Also, you are right about the 6 months thing.  You might see results, but they won't be anything you were expecting.  This workout wasn't made for people who want to take their sweet time to get into shape.  The whole point of muscle confusion is so you can continue to workout without a plateau in the future. 
Title: Re: Official P90X thread
Post by: WildcatNkilt on February 23, 2010, 12:28:45 PM
Also as someone said previously, the P90X recovery drink is money.  You have a 1 hr window after your workout where your muscles need key nutrients to repair themselves.  The recovery drink will help with a faster recovery, thus reducing cramping and pain.  You will want this drink.

The P90X recovery drink is not a pure Protein mix like some think (including myself at the beginning).  The mix consists of many other vitamins and minerals, and even a little fructose.  You will not get the same effect by having a protein drink compared to the P90X recovery drink after a workout.

Nope.

Also, I haven't seen an "scientific studies" to support this, per say, but I would say that getting kidney stones directly correlates to whether or not a person is ugly.  Are you ugly?  If so, 3 liters a day isn't gonna cut it.

Have already upgraded to P90x²

But srsly, just finished first week. Didnt really change my diet or anything (but I already eat decent aside from drinking too many cocktails). Don't know how it happened, but I lost 3 lbs and an inch (at least) off my waist. Pretty awesome. Plus, the quality curve of my donkey kicks and Groucho walks are freaking off the chart.

Found this very awkward aswell. Do you guys actually do the yoga one? I shut it off half way through because it seemed pointless. Maybe I could just substitute it with cardio or polymetrics. My goal isn't to be more flexible I just want to lost my beer belly.

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:

Oh Goddamn if this thread isn't just the best fuckin' entertainment on the 'net!   I wasn't certain exactly what a "Mason Twist" might be (thought it must be some sort of spinning ultra-heavy deadlift or something the way you pvssies have been whining about it) so I inquired and discovered that it's actually ... this?!? (http://www.ehow.com/video_4982064_mason-twist-exercise.html)  So sitting on your ass and simultaneously moving your arms back and forth across your body is a challenge for you 'tards?  Good frucking grief but y'all must be a lot more pathetic than I suspected (and I suspected you were pretty pathetic).

BTW, cranked out 40 for the first time. Pretty good/terrible feeling.

Just about to start phase II. 6 lbs and 1+ inches off my waist so far. Still suck at plyometrics/pullups.

Just received the P90X kit and pretty fired up about getting started.  Unfortunately I fractured a rib doing some heavy leg presses (I know... How the hell do you do that?).  Gotta wait about 4-6 more weeks to get started on the program which is killing me!!  Have alot of muscle size already from a lot of free weight work, but need to tighten up the dieting side of things and lose the beer belly for summer.  Curious to hear how some of you are doing that have been fairly strict with the diet and workout regimen.  Good results?  Anyone had any results similar to what Gottlieb boasts?

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 was 18-21 I could eat whatever and still keep kickin' abs.  Now I just have a slab!  Good luck to ya man.

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:

Alright fat guys who are trying to be less fat....I am getting fatter over here waiting for my fracking knee to heal from ACL surgery 2 months ago.  Can you tell me a little about the actual workouts?  Does my knee need to be fully healed (as in could go play a basketball game right now) to be able to really do these workouts?  I can't run yet, but I can walk normally.  I have full range of motion.  I lost a lot of muscle from my injured leg and am not even close to having it all back yet.  what do you doodz think?  Should I wait a little longer to start to get the full effect? 

Also, please tell me how fat/not fat you were when you started this and how fat/not fat you are now.  Losing 5 lbs in 3 weeks isn't that great if you're really fat.  'ppreciate it.

CRAP!!  I kinda figured this but needed someone to tell me.  It's been 6 months since I've even been able to walk normally so it's very frustrating to just sit here and watch myself get fatter and not be able to do much about it.  Oh well, I guess it'll make for a more dramatic before and after pic for when I can do the whole workout.

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.

I got 50 days in before I hurt my foot and quit. Have not started back up. Didn't do the diet, but I already eat pretty well. You'll get leaner pretty quick and it will rip your arms and torso.

Meh. I was already hurt. I've had the same foot injury for 8-9 years now. It flares up sometimes. I wouldn't blame the workout.

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.

So you're saying that you're too good to follow a workout regimen?   :rolleyes:

No, too undisciplined. I don't enjoy working out in front of a TV watching some loser who is a cross between Billy Blanks and Richard Simmons. Would much rather workout at a gym or run outside or play sports or whatever.

Plus, I spent wayyyyy too much time making fun of this thing to ever give it a fair shot.

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.

Please explain "worked for me" in greater detail.  Lbs lost, muscle gained etc and so forth.  TIA. 

arms got more muscular, chest got tighter, and the love handles were starting to go away within the first couple of weeks.  Went down a couple of waist sizes pretty quickly.  I wasn't obese to begin with, so that seems like it did a lot for me in a short period of time.

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.

Sorry dude.  I got 7 weeks into it until my job situation got crazy.  Got back on it for about 4 weeks with the wife, then job stuff got crazy again.

Good luck bro. I'll say this, it's only for certain people. I definitely would not recommend it to everyone. I worked at 785crossfit in manhattan for a while and did the workout. It's great if you've got the right kind of mindset/personality for it.

I agree though, it definitely isn't for everyone, but it is nice to have a workout  from hell and it be done in about 15 mins.

I tried crossfit for about 2 months just because i like trying everything. It's kind of crazy how it brainwashes you in absolutely destroying your body every day. Granted I was probably pushing myself a little harder because i was getting certified as a trainer at the time, but damn that program turned me into a freak. I was doing sets of 40 kipping chinups and other ridiculous stuff. I look back at it now and think wow, that was a lot of pain just to be able to do ridiculous stuff like that. It does give you some insane full body strength and conditioning.

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.

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.

Yep, back in high school conditioning class I was a bad ass at pullups my freshman year when I was a scrawny little twig, but after I put on tons of muscle/strength I became way worse at pullups.

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.

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.

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.

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.



You sound like you're doing everything totally right. 170 lbs for a 5'10 guy is a very healthy weight. You're body knows what it's doing. Probably your only problem before working out was body composition; a lot more of that 170 lbs was made up of fat rather than muscle than it is now. And body comp is a lot more important than just simply weight, which for a guy your size shouldn't be a concern anyways. Muscle gains tend to start leveling out after the first few weeks so you might lose some weight then because you'll still be burning fat but not getting as much rapid muscle gains. You'll probably notice a little more toning going on, just about everyone does during this 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.

hmmmm, probably much stronger in the chest due to my intensive routine of doing 20 pushups sometimes

now just add doing like six pullups sometimes to that routine and bam, hello perfect balance.

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.

How many pounds? one of each? I've got a 25 and a 10 right now. 

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.

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.

Do you have a job where you shake hands a lot or something? If not, i wouldn't worry about your hands getting torn up, you'll grow some pretty crazy calluses soon anyways. Or, just wear lifting gloves, they don't look anymore stupid the half the crazy crap you do in crossfit.

Good, we can work with that. Now, next time you're on the eliptical, bring a 5-pound medicine ball with you, and hold it over your head while elipticaling and grunting super loud. Make sure there are lots of other people around at the gym and stuff. This is your first official task.

Ok, well that's it pretty much. I guess I should ask if you have access to a gym, but assuming you do, start off doing higher weights and lower reps of exercises like bench and deadlift that utilize a whole ton of your muscles at once. These types of exercises are easily the quickest way to gain mass. Basically, just start with the basics and as you start getting bigger your gains will get smaller and that's when you'll have to start doing exercises that target smaller muscle groups.

Oh, and you're almost the exact same size I was until about senior year in high school, so I know how much it sucks to be hardgainer, but if you do it right anyone can gain muscle.

Oh, and if you're really serious, go get some creatine, good protein, and a good multivitamin. Those three supplements are pretty much mandatory to get anything serious done.

YLA, where do you get your WOD from?  Is there some super secrety Crossfit hotline that calls you every night and gives you an encoded message that when deciphered explains tomorrow's WOD?  If this is the case, please start a fake twitter, have me follow it, then tweet out the WOD as you decipher it.  TIA.

I was looking for something that would simply give me the workout so that I could go do it on my own since the nearest Crossfit is like 35min drive away.

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:

nope, would be too hungover.

you guys ever tried p90x, insanity, or crossfit while hungover? I can't even go on a light jog while hungover without my heart beating out of my chest.  However, on non-hungover days I'm fine (great blood pressure, low resting heart rate). Maybe one of these days I will take a friday night off and try it.........
