P90x

[Dave P]

To be honest, I need a hard change in my work out.


Thinking about taking the 90 day challenge.


Anyone done this?

http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/best_sellers/p90x.do


Thanks for any feed back guys

[Nova316]

yes i've done it, gives amazing results or atleast i think so
Its pretty time consuming tho I did it during summer. Its a nice intense 1-2hour workout, i found it gave me better results then training on my own routine

[bigbadboss101]

Looks pretty interesting.

There is a bootcamp group in town. I have seen them at Confederation Park and they training at a few places. Variation is the way to go.

[4lti7ude]

Iv got the whole program ripped onto my computer and the whole booklet printed out XD
its a amazing program
AMAZING
totally worth the money

[Unknown303]

Yeah i have it ripped on my computer as well. Great program and if you can keep on the schedule it will definitely work.

[kerry]

My friend does that program and he loves it. He lost a tonne of weight and put on quite a bit of strength. He also said that his balance is much much better after doing only 2 months of the program.

[Dave P]

Well I got it. Big Props to Nova316 for helping me out


Starting it tomorrow.

Got the drive, expecting big results.

Ill let you know how it is

[boxer23]

sweet, I was going to make a thread on this too. I will try it soon too:D

for the people that have tried it, exactly what materials were used (i.e weight of dumbbells, what time of resistance elastic or whatever etc.)

[Darkane]

Skeptical.

What do you do for Legs? I've done my share of research on this too, all I can say is Good luck.

Also the guys who have it ripped could ya paste up a typical day or two on what the food plan consists of? Curious on that.

One thing I'm convinced about this program is that it WILL increase "day to day" strength. But in terms of power lifting, strong man strength, don't expect miracles :D

[bigbadboss101]

Functional strength in the long run would be more useful and short spirt powerlifter type of strength. I know some guys who can lift lots in the gym but if I was looking for someone to help me move stuff or build the house I would phone up this 'skinny' friend of mine. Stronger not in the gym but when he needs it.

[jcrules99]

I just got the dvd's from a friend actually, I will try it out in a couple days, he said it was pretty intense so I am hoping for a good challenge

[Donmega]

maybe an answer for me too. Looks interesting :) anyone have a large file of the ripped dvd's they can send me :D

For your legs you got the whole leg workout routine plus Polymetrics which is all leaping and jumps
then you also got your kempo x which is like kung fu and stuff so lots of high kicks and balance.
And you got your core workout, whole bunch really.

[accord885]

I'd be interested in trying this too... someone mentioned they had it ripped?

[black13]

hmm, i'd be willing to pay a reasonable price for some backup dvd's.

[Donmega]

there's torrents available, but heavy waits.

hey Nova316....would you be able to hook me up with that?? I REALLLLLLLY don't trust that beachbody website :S I've only heard negative things about ordering from them

[Nova316]

I ripped em from a friend onto AVI, its probably a good 12 cd's, or 3 dvd's :)
Great workout, pain in the butt to get.

Donmega, Check your PM

[deee_wreck]

Nova316 PM'd you :D

[asp integra]

can anyone pm for getting a riped copy of the dvd's or anything, i was thinking about buying everything tonight actually, super interested in trying this out

[nj2Type-S]

i tried the ab ripper on saturday and, man, it was TOUGH! it's only 15 mins long and i think i only got to the 13th minute or something (i was soooo happy that my computer started to freeze, lol!)....i'm still feeling the pain today...i thought i was in pretty good shape til i tried this out...haha, this shiz is awesome!!

[Tobeb]

Hey, I am looking to try this out too, anyone know where to get a good chin / pull up bar that doesn't attach to the door frame? Looking in the $60 range but can't find anything that doesn't attached to the door frame.

[asp integra]

i started my 1st day today
started with legs and back, wow, i have pretty strong legs already from skiing a few times a week, and omg my legs were done after the workout, it was insane, im thinking im gonna see some great results from this program!

[SoSlowDx]

Going to try it when my friend burns me a copy. He said it's pretty tough haha

[403Gemini]

Where could i get a copy of this? ;)

edit: also what equipment do i need to do this at home? Just a set of weights?

[Nova316]

U just need weights and a chin-up bar and sometimes a wall thats about all :)

Yoga hurts the most I cant do 1/2 the things they do cause my balance blows ass same with flexability...

Gemini Pm'ed :)

[403Gemini]

Suggestions on a place to get a good chinup bar?

[bigbadboss101]

Chin up bar will be useful. I need one myself. Either weights or bungee cords. I like the Powerblocks but they aren't cheap.

[nj2Type-S]

that plyometric workout is INSANE!!! my thighs are just burning!!!! lol

[tommy1223]

i have the vids, those of you with the work out sheets dled, would you mind sending them to me?

[Canmorite]

Seen the infomercials, and when I see infomercials I usually change the channel. I watched it and it looks interesting...

[deee_wreck]

Was there only 2 workout routines the "classic" and the "double" ??

Maybe someone could upload the nutrition guide to rapidshare or something ??

BUMP!

[smokedog]

DOES P90X HELP A PERSON LOSE WEIGHT OR JUST GET DEFINED MUSCLE TONE

[~Leah~]

Well I wish I woulda seen this first, I just bought it. Doing a cleanse at the moment and starting the program on Monday cuz I can't make it to the gym anymore with the little one! We'll see what happens.

[Darkane]

So any results on anybody yet?

There's nothing scientifically wrong with P90x, assuming there is enough protein in the diet to BUILD mass.

Anyone post the diet?

[asp integra]

i have been on the workouts solid for about a week now and there are already noticeable results, abs are more defined and arms as well, i cant wait to see it after 90 days!

[Darkane]

1 week? Come on now.. You've lost water weight.

Take these measurements if you're serious:

Chest
Arms
Calfs
Quads
Waist (Around the widest part [love handles] and around belly button)

I bet they ALL go down with in the first week. This indicates water loss from previous retention due to whatever. Stress, hormonal, food.

As soon as you start losing primarily from Stomach and quads or other high fat storage areas you know you're burning fat.

Everyone should take measurements. Scales aren't very good indicators!

[Gondi Stylez]

POST UP PLANS FOR PHASE 1&2!!!!!

Please :D

[bigbadboss101]

I bought it a few weeks ago. Now I need to get either bungees, or the Powerblock. Dont have a place for pull ups though.

[1-Bar]

holy crap, plyo just kicked my ass last night....I tapped 30mins in...haha

[nj2Type-S]

lol, i've only done plyo once cuz it scares me..haha, jk...i did it up to 45 mins but most of it was just half-assed...haha

[asp integra]

haha plyo is my fav routine so far, legs are done at the end but its a fun workout, but my legs are pretty strong already from hockey and skiing

[Darkane]

Updates? This thread seems to have died. P90-ex?

[~Leah~]

My start got delayed because of a couple of Sask trips last minute. Took measurements and weight and am planning on starting tomorrow. Won't post my measurements but will post inches and weight lost.

[nj2Type-S]

to be honest, i get bored doing these exercises. i don't get as motivated as i do when i lift weights in the gym or go to muay thai classes.

doing workouts at home = :thumbsdow, imo.

[Gondi Stylez]

Does no body have the nutritional plans for Phase 1&2?!?

I thought a few of you guy's D/L them?!??!??

[Atriux]

Good program, recently slacked off but I really have to start getting into it again. Plyo is a pain in the butt, but after a few times the results are pretty dramatic. Plus I feel that this goes by a lot quicker then training at a gym or something, but that's just me. For the first few session ones I would have to say Yoga is the killer one, it's just amazing amazingly difficult.

If you youtube p90x you'll see quite a few people with some crazy results. I believe one person who saw this through ended up losing 60 pounds or something...

Atriux

[Bimmer88]

Hey,

I'm actually sorta... using it right now lol.
You have to really committ to it otherwise it won't work. I'm mainly doing the CD 12 one Ab workouts :D trying to get rid of this beer belly... pretty sweet, lost couple pounds off my waist line.

I'd recommend it.

Oh and clear up like 50 GB on your drive cause here it is.

QFT.. fuking stupid website ended up sending me 2 copies! and it doesnt help that the customer support is located in India (im not being racist) all their responses was like they were just reading something off a card, when you try to dispute it, they just repeat it and sound like a broken record.

So now I have 2 copies coming to me. :banghead:

[MikeAg]

Anyone able to get me the full dvd set? Ill pay whoever can do so.

[interlude]

Do you want the extra dvd set I ordered?

[pattyt]

Why does the link say its expired when i go to that Yousendit site. ???

[Nova316]

It expires after 30 days i believe

[bradwatson]

i'll take that extra dvd set you ordered. How much is it?

[funkedelic]

im on week 5, i have missed a couple days here and there (mostly yoga days and x-strectch because i find both really boring) so some days i have to fit like 2 hours of working out. It takes a lot of dedication to keep going everyday and eating right and the right amount and getting a solid 7 hours of sleep. I wasn't expecting it to be so time consuming and challenging. Plus you should be taking supliments as well, and you have to keep track of so many things.

Some of the excersises take SOO much out of you. Esspecially the shoulders/chest/triceps. First time i did it my arms were on fire. You will be dead at the end of some of the cardio excersises as well. I was fit when i first started and i play quite a bit of sports but at the end of core/abs/plyo i am covered in sweat and had to stop a few times during the work out the first time i did each one. You get use to it and you can feel yourself getting stronger and if you track your progress you will be able to prove it to yourself. My body has changed a lot in 5 weeks, I can't imagine at the end of the 90 days. I lost almost all my stomach fat and my arms and abs look a lot bigger and more defined.

Its a good program! It would be well worth the money but I would just get the dvds burnt off somebody and print the documents/books and save yourself the $120 or whatever it is that it costs.

[Stonejaw]

Just do Crossfit instead its way better plus its totally free.
But only if your serious about getting jacked.

www.crossfit.com

[Ajay]

Is this a good program for someone looking to put on mass?

Getting to the gym is sometimes hard so I looked into this program. I'm looking at putting on some mass and gaining weight as opposed to losing.

[TorqueDog]

I'm on the P90X program, throwing in the P90X+ once in a while to mix it up.

Pretty damn good program, I like it.

*EDIT* Wow this is gonna be massive DL...anyone got it ripped to their computer already...willing to pay for your time to burn me a copy...

[tommy1223]

I'm on 3rd week of this. The first month is pretty much all about getting your body and joints use to these work outs. You'll start to lose some weight (if eating right) and you will look more toned. Real results takes months to show. I do feel stronger and feel that my body is more lose and are able to keep up with more work outs.

polymetrics will kick your ass left and right. I did 30min and i was DONE.

Amateurs. :D

I started week 5 before I seperated my shoulder again playing hockey. So I'm out a few weeks as far as P90X goes. I can already see that the next phase is going to be intense. Your results will ultimately depend on your diet.

[Dave P]

Whats everyones favorites?


I enjoy the plyo, kempo, and the shoulders/arms discs.

Not recommended if you're looking to gain weight, there is lifting but it's a cardio intensive program and it's focused more on leaning out your body than bulking up.

I ended up quitting due to a lack of motivation, but after finally finishing my important exams, I'm looking at getting back into shape (And restarting this program). I don't know how much to tell you, but after doing Plyometrics for a few weeks I definitely noticed an increase in leg strength. It's 1 hour to 2 hours a day of exercise (and it rarely goes above 1 and a half), but the key is following through till the end.

[bigbadboss101]

I went to a couple London Drugs but didn't see any. Nor chin up bars etc. They have yoga mats and the push up tool.

[navdeep]

anyone have a copy of this

Willing to pay $ for DVD's and copy of the guides. Thanks

[403ep3]

I've got P90x on a usb stick. If anyoen want's it I can transfer it onto their laptop or something.

[Jonel]

Did it till week 3 then quit a couple months back, re-starting it this week. I hated the chest and back workout. I'm like the weakest guy in the world and when i saw the Chest and Back, I could only do 30 minutes of it (40 if you include the warmup) and I was basically done for the day.

A buddy of mine who's done all of it, said that for beginners it's good to split the workouts in a day. As in due the warmup + first 30 minutes in the morning and warmup + last 30 minutes (ab ripper x optional) in the evening. That way my body can get used to it. Hopefully that strat will deter me from quitting.

Definitely a good program to have a good core + get toned, I also felt a lot stronger and had more energy when I ended week 3. With the calendar, nutrition guide and everything - it's the best workout I found out for a newbie like me.

[monday]

yo ill buy the dvd's off some1 , ripped or the acsuall thing,. im really looking forward to this.
