P90X - Anyone try this? (2 Viewers)

[tommyGunZ]

Could one of you guys that's already dl'd this please open your torrent program and make it available for seeding? I'm at 80% and it's crawling slow (I hit 70 on Sat night) because there aren't enough seeds online. Tons of peers, but they obviously don't have the last few pieces I need.

update?

 

[metalpalace]

I just graduated from p90x a few weeks ago. I bought the program late last august. Im doing it all over again right now and it is still kicking me in the butt which gos to show that it keeps your muscles from plateauing by constantly introducing new moves and switching them up plus the nutrition guide is second to none. I love the challenge and I have improved in all areas of fitness tremendously. Here is my before and after picture from doing the program the first time.

Im anxious to see how much more I will have gained in the next 90 days. Im buying my brother a copy of the program for christmas. If anyone has any questions about p90x feel free to ask. I'm helping others out who like the results I have gotten to get huge resulst from the program too.

Finally got it downloaded but have been lazy recently. Was going to start on Monday but found some poor excuse not to. I'm confident I'll give it a try at some point and I promise an update when I do.

I haven't done anything with it since I downloaded it either. How necessary is the pull-up bar? Don't really feel like installing one anywhere in the house.

They say you can use bands, but I'm a long time advocate of a pull up bar so I can't see how it would be the same. The Door Gym doesn't need installation - it just hooks into the door frame so you can put it up and take it down easily.

Very cool. How the heck does that thing not tear up the door frame? Guess I'll order one of those then.

Dumbells, chin up bar and yoga mat. Pretty much everything takes place within the confines of the yoga mat so yes, you can do it in your living room, if you can put the bar up nearby. On the bar, they suggest putting a chair under it if you can't do a large number of pullups.

I started with dumbbells, a yoga mat and I built my own chin up bar. Everything else the program comes with. Actually you dont really need to get anything other than what comes with the program because it comes with heavy resistance bands that you can use for all of the moves that require a chin up bar or dumbbells. You dont need a lot of space to do this except for maybe the plyometrics routine because there is a lot of jumping in that one. Your living room should be fine.

Will be starting this tonight. I'm not in gret shape at the moment. I expect it's going to hurt.

YowzaDid Shoulders and Chest and Ab Ripper X. Kicked my ### pretty good, especially on the 2nd set of Shoulders and chest. Keeps the heart rate up as well. Took about and hour and 20 minutes for the two which is a bit longer than any of my normal workouts.

 

[Drifter]

Soreness report: Not too bad EXCEPT for the lower heads of my triceps which are barely functioning today. Tells me that I probably wasn't getting enough range of motion on my previous triceps exercises. I pretty much cannot touch the top of my head without helping with the other arm. Chest, shoulders and back are all sore but nothing unsual for a good workout.

Or Bands. On the Chest and Shoulder workout you do 2 sets of pull ups, 2 sets of reverse grip pullups and 2 sets of close grip pullups.

[Drifter]

Lifting a full nalgene bottle to my lips is problematic. I look like the victim of a stroke. I blame those damn under the fence push ups.

 

[steelerfan1]

hi drifter and metalpalace,

quick question for you guys.

due to a different work schedule that is basically 3 on, 2 off, 2 on, 3 off for 13 hour days i was planning on doubling up on my days off and not doing anything on my work days.

so i would be doing the cardio program in the morning and the lifting in the evening. the only day i worked that i would be working out would be the every other 3rd day that i worked.

also, some of those moves look horrible on the kness. you having any problems at all? my kness are kind of shot from heavy lifting over the years.

see any problems with this?

thanks for any help.

 

[Drifter]

The only problem I see with that approach is that it's a pretty big single day commitment both in terms of time spent and calories burned.

I haven't done all of the programs yet so can't really comment on the knees. Plyometrics and "Kenpo X" might be tough on the knees with a lot of jumping around.

I will say that the chest and shoulders workout as well as the Ab Ripper X could be really bad for you back if you don't maintain proper form - especially as you get tired.

Doubling up shouldnt be a problem as long as you rest plenty in between and eat good clean food. When it comes to your knees, they show you modifications you can do if your knees or other areas bother you. The key is to modify as much as you need to so that you prevent injury. In the plyometrics dvd for example, one of the guys in the video has an artificial leg. I think its brilliant that in the most difficult cardio workout ever created they put a one legged crippled man in there to show us all up..LoL He does modify a lot and you can still see him getting a good hard blood pumping work out.

[Thorn]

The other thing they mention is that you can substitute Cardio for Plyo. It's also pretty good about stretching you out, showing how to land properly, etc (don't skip the Stretch and Yoga workouts!) I've had tendinitis in my knees and I never had any problems.

 

[steelerfan1]

thanks thorn,

had a torn meniscis (sp?) a while back and it never really healed right so i was concerned.

thanks thorn,had a torn meniscis (sp?) a while back and it never really healed right so i was concerned.

I have one and the Plyo bothers it sometimes. But I try to go low impact when I can.Well getting ready for day 1. Think I'm going to go lean instead of the classic. Not sure yet.The first time I hurt my back I was mid week 4. I followed the diet perfectly, I only lost about 4 pounds but lost many inches, I could really notice the difference it was great.

Keep in mind this isnt aerobics where you are burning fat and not gaining any lean muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat. With p90x you are adding some really nice lean muscle weight and burning fat simultaneously so there is a give and take in the context of over all pounds. You may have lost about 4 pounds. Who knows how much pounds in fat you have lost verses how many more pounds in muscle you have gained. The scale will just show you your over all weight change without differentiating between fat loss and lean muscle gains.

Oh I know. Was just stating that when I started this in the summer before I got hurt I got "trim" quickly. I don't care about the weight as much as I do my "inches" I used to work out 6 days a week all through college , blah blah blah. Anyway I was just letting people know that the first month I noticed a huge difference When you starting round 2 ??

 

[Drifter]

Did about half of plyometrics last night but had to stop because my hips were killing me (always been a problem).

 

[metalpalace]

Oh man, im trying to work out through college right now. At least I only have one semester. It gets hard making time for working out an hour a day with school work and what not. I started round two about a month ago. Im in the beginning of phase two, round two. Good times!

 

[the moops]

After my surgery, I have had neither the strength or the ability to do much exercising. Have rode my bike a few times recently (rode it too early and tore open my sutures in my stomach). Started playing some softball this week too.

Anyway, was drinking at the local pub the other night and this infomercial came on. Went home, got the torrent.

Am gonna start this thing tomorrow afternoon. Doing the lean routine.

Any updates from anyone?

If you aren't in very good shape to begin with, you'll probably want to do about 1/2 of each workout to begin with.

 

[No. 4]

Started this on Monday after seeing the infomercial on DirecTv many times. I consider myself to be in fair shape for a 38 yo, 6’1” and 182 lbs, but I have not done any serious workouts in over a year and a half. And I never have used any nutrition guide or diets with my programs (I know, that is half the battle).

The workouts are intense, with little time for rest. Here is what I have accomplished so far this week:

Mon – Chest & Back: pull ups were never my strength, I look forward to changing that as they are an integral part of this program. Works many different muscles. Push ups are a slam dunk for me. Also did Ab Ripper X. 16 minutes of many different moves isolating all parts of your abs.

Tues – I substituted Cardio X for the Plyometrics X program as I do not have the ceiling height in my basement for all the jump moves. My heart rate was racing after this.

Wed – Arms & Shoulders: Another intense lifting program with very little rest. bi’s, tri’s and shoulders were pumped up and I was feeling the burn. Ab Ripper X as well.

Thurs – Yoga: Do not have over an hour and a half to commit to this program on Thurs, may try to work it into the weekend and substitute another Cardio X here.

Fri – Legs & Back: Looking forward to this as it works major muscles that should burn lots of calories.

Comments so far. I am following the diet plan very closely. It calls for loading up on protein, low fat and low carbs for the first month, then transitioning to a few more carbs for energy burn as the workouts intensify in the second and third months. I have never followed a diet, but I am liking this so far. I eat 5-6 sensible meals, which has definitely kick started my metabolism. I have lost 3 lbs so far, most likely water weight, but I can tell this will get me results that include burning fat and building lean muscle.

My biggest challenges will be sticking to the diet for 90 days (and beyond) and committing to the time necessary (I travel occasionally).

With that said, I am a footballguy, so I like beer. I know beer = carbs, and that is a no no. Are there any alcohol alternatives I can enjoy that do not carry the carbs and calories? Someone told me vodka and a clear diet soda wash is your best bet. By no means am I an alcoholic, but I enjoy a cocktail or two on the weekends. Any suggestions?

Also, I noticed I am peeing a lot more, and fewer BMs (sorry for the visual). Is that normal?

Anyone with similar experiences?

Yoga X is not easy. 1.5 hours of moving in ways you're not supposed to move and holding poses that no human should have to hold.If you haven't done yoga before, then good luck with it. I didn't make it though the 1.5 hours when i first did it. Sweat like crazy in the first half hour of the DVD. If you've done yoga, then it probably won't be that bad.I do like Stretch X though. Hour of stretching makes you feel good.

 

[No. 4]

I would like to try and get through the Yoga once, just to say I did it. I think I can handle the rest without a problem.

Any comments on cutting out beer from your "diet". I struggle with this.

I'm in my 2nd time through the p90X program, just finishing month 4. As far as yoga I actually find that workout takes less time than the Arms and Shoulder and Legs and Back routine as I usually am changing weights between sets, or am just shot and need a breather before I move to the next set. I think its a good part of the program. I'd rather swap out Kenpo and go for a run, if I was going to make a switch. I really like the Plyo workout so hope you get a chance to try it out.If you havent seen it already this workout takes a lot of time each week so be prepared. Just stick with it and you'll see results.The best answer with regards to the drinking is dont do it. If you have to, keep it to a minimum if you normally do 2 drinks keep it at one. Or cut it out all together for the summer and pick it up for football season.

 

[Card Trader]

Finishing up with week 5, the results are already showing pretty strongly. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone. It kicks your ###, but in a good way, I for the first time in my life look forward to working out every day.

Plyo is one of the toughest workouts I've ever done.

I just started this program last week...it is a killer YogaX was the worst......my problem is that I am about 25 lbs over weight.....I am thinking that Power 90X may be better for the weight loss part and then the P90 for the ripping part.....anyone do the Power90 program....anyone know where one might download the Power 90 program?

TIA

Power 90X isnt a straight weight loss program. Power 90 makes you operate on a calorie deficit. Power 90X is more about increasing your overall phyical fitness and strength levels. You will lose a bunch of body fat and will build lean muscle in its place. I made it through the first 50 days of 90X last year and it was incredible how much stronger, flexible and more defined I got. I lost about 10 pounds in the first few weeks and then I started gaining weight due to the increase in muscle mass. I could crank out the pullups/pushups/lunges. If you dont workout regularly, this is not for you. I remember having a total body soreness almost all of the time. I was so sore (especially my legs), it interfered with my sleep (at least for the first month).Bottom line is if you have an hour to an hour and a half every day to workout AND the discipline to follow a decent diet AND you are in fairly decent shape, then this is your workout plan.I think I will be doing it again at the first of the year, but I am doing cardio (4 days a week minimum) for a month prior to give myself any chance of not being overwhelmed.

I am just about to finish up phase 3 of this program, and I absolutely love it! I'm starting a new round sometime in January as well. Following that one, I'll be working on P90X+. These workouts kick you ###!

I just started this program last week...it is a killer YogaX was the worst......my problem is that I am about 25 lbs over weight.....I am thinking that Power 90X may be better for the weight loss part and then the P90 for the ripping part.....anyone do the Power90 program....anyone know where one might download the Power 90 program?TIA

Power 90X isnt a straight weight loss program. Power 90 makes you operate on a calorie deficit. Power 90X is more about increasing your overall phyical fitness and strength levels. You will lose a bunch of body fat and will build lean muscle in its place. I made it through the first 50 days of 90X last year and it was incredible how much stronger, flexible and more defined I got.

I am doing Cardio everyday......I am out of shape right now and my biggest problem is my flexibility..........I will stay with the P90X....I am getting better with each workout

I'm pretty fat and should probably try this.

7.0 GB downloaded.. finally.I can already tell that chest/back is going to destroy me. They use a pull-up bar early and often. The bands don't look nearly as effective. Looks like I'll be spending time in the basement.

Did you pirate it?Are we going to get a weekly report on your progress?

Yarrr.Sure, I'll give updates.

How are we looking?
