Anyone done P90X?

Did P90 last year (the little brother to the P90X program) and cant say enough good about it.

Im going to do another cycle of it starting next week and hope to do P90X by the end of the year.

My advice, if you're not going to get all militant about your diet then at least follow the breakfast-snack-lunch-snack-dinner schedule and don't eat within 3 hours of going to bed.

Good luck!

I'm not wanting to loose weight but tone up. Actually I'd like to put some weight on mostly in my upper body ( i can't gain weight there).

Do you think i would need to follow a strict diet to tone and add some upper muscle? I eat pretty healthy most of the time anyways.

As far as dieting, P90X is no different than any other workout program you put yourself on. You diet different ways to get different results. Find a diet program that is best for your needs. You will likely need to consume more calories if you begin a program like this as you will begin to burn a substantial amount. If you want to gain weight you need to get calories, protein, and carbs. If you do not up your intake of those, you will likely start burning out after a month or so.

Yeah, get ready to get ur ass kicked. Ive heard that it is pretty intense.

If all else fails, you can come to kickboxing at the Y with me.

Fun, I've always wanted to do kickboxing. I use to do zumba and dance out every week but it's hard to get away with a kid sometimes.

Yeah I can understand that. I was going twice a week but my buddy tore her ACL up at snowshoe a couple weeks ago. I usually go to the Harris one but went to the Dowd one last week. Its pretty intense, but way more physically demanding than the other one.

Did you already head up to Snowshoe?

Bummer!

We just got back Sunday night from Snowshoe. It was an amazing trip. I love that mountain. So many fun trails. I'm ready to go back!

I was looking to lose some lbs when I ordered the product but that's not exactly the result I ended up with. I dropped maybe 12 lbs but after a few weeks the weight started going back up while the body fat was going down. So I was putting on lean mass and getting pretty ripped for me. I was drinking a recovery shake after the workouts but other than that was holding right in the 2200 cals/day range.

So I don't think you would need to get crazy about a diet I don't think it would hurt either.

When I'm really watching what I'm eating I'll eat between 1200-1400 calories a day (which is right for my weight). I think I'll up that to about 1800 when I'm doing P90X

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
