Anyone done P90X?

What happened to the old way where you don't need a program and you just, well, exercise or weight train?

it's true, the most important thing isn't what program you are in, but rather you find something that you can stick to.

P90x, crossfit, etc doesn't do a lick of good when you've quit it in 2 months.

oooo I didnt know they had that one. The one I was in last week, the instructor is ex-military, he's pretty hardcore. There were a couple of guys brave enough to do the class with us....they were strugglin

well i know the ones back home have it. It usually depends on the instructor. One of them goes all out, no one leaves w/o sweating. Pretty intense class if you have the right instructor.

When you do that you essentially develop your own program so its really no difference as long as you use stuff like P90X as a guide. Its not traditional, but for people who like to be organized with their routines and can't necessarily pay for the gym, its nice to have (if you can snag it for free).

I lift, mtn bike, play soccer, & when I added some of the P90X stuff to my routine, it honestly helped me out endurance wise by leaps and bounds.

I'm in the wrong line of work.

Sexing up the concept of eat a lot less and exercise a lot more seems to be a bajillion dollar industry, assuming you can get enough people talking about it.

I work in advertising now. Just about every major industry is just sexing up basic concepts.

  • 3 weeks later...

So I've been doing it for about 3 weeks. I highly recommend it. It's a lot of fun and super convenient.

I've gained 3 lbs but no doubt its all muscle.

Most people I know who have done it, loved and hated it at the same time. I "got" the P90X disks the other day and plan on getting started as soon as the dr. gives me the ok to use my arm again. Going to have to come up with an alternative for the push ups and pull ups for awhile though but I figure it will be the quickest way to get back into shape for the summer even if I can't do that part of it.

Yeah I have issues with my trapezius muscle. So I work my legs and butt during some of the back exercises they do.

There are a LOT of push ups and pull ups though.

    • 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 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
