7/12/2010 10:28:47 AM

probably some.... but I've been drinking water like a mother lately... MUH PEE IS CLEARUH.

7/12/2010 10:33:48 AM

everyone else sticking with it?

7/13/2010 9:20:53 AM

^Yes.

Week 6 started yesterday with Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
Plyo today w00t! w00t!

[Edited on July 13, 2010 at 9:23 AM. Reason : I'm a little sore too. ]

7/13/2010 9:23:29 AM

yeah I was supposed to start week 6 last week, but I kinda went overboard on the birthday celebrations, so week 6 started monday.

7/13/2010 9:35:31 AM

still going strong, started phase 2 yesterday

7/13/2010 5:16:07 PM

plyometrics tonight. start of week 2.

7/13/2010 6:23:06 PM

Starting tonight! (Should have been earlier this afternoon but today is my day off so I slept in)

7/13/2010 6:31:59 PM

Day 1 down! Wow.

7/13/2010 11:32:48 PM

How do those arms and chest feel? haha

7/13/2010 11:35:31 PM

Oddly enough it's my arms that feel the most tired. I probably didn't isolate well enough for my first time but I can feel something going on back there. I think my arms are tired because it's all push-ups and pull-ups mostly.

7/13/2010 11:45:06 PM

that was just day 1. Day 2 is going to be fun!

7/14/2010 8:58:13 AM

I'm excited about seeing this P90X. The girl invited me over to test it out on Friday. She wants to see if I can make it all the way through 2 of her workouts since I do S&C or lift every day at the gym. I honestly don't see it being too different from an S&C workout.

7/14/2010 11:04:52 AM

It's not too bad if you're used to working out. I did the plyometrics dvd and it was pretty similar to what I do in athletic conditioning classes.

7/14/2010 11:09:07 AM

i agree with Kirk. i was scared to start doing P90X but because i've been working out for a long time it wasn't too bad. but it was nice to have different exercises to follow along with. i'm terrible when it comes to weight training so this forces me to do it.

7/14/2010 1:40:53 PM

Meh, I'll still end up doing my sparring and S&C classes that day too. I ain't skurred.

7/14/2010 2:40:48 PM

Like I have said all along, P90X workouts are not really very hard. It's keeping up with them day in and day out for 90 days and refusing to skip an exercise, along with controlling your diet that is the challenge.

7/14/2010 5:02:49 PM

shoulders and arms... good workout. ab ripper still sucks (at least I suck at it)

7/14/2010 6:33:53 PM

Okay...feeling it today. I woke up feeling like Darth Vadar with was doing his death choke thing on my back and triceps. Thankfully today is cardio day. I'll report back on how I fared as I know some of you hate hate hate it!

[Edited on July 14, 2010 at 7:07 PM. Reason : .]

7/14/2010 7:07:01 PM

I finished a week ago, and am taking a two-week break in before starting it again.

I'm gonna cut the weight sessions in half but up the reps and/or weights.

It's made a huge difference whenever I play any sports... I get tired out a LOOOTT slower now.

7/14/2010 7:28:43 PM

Is it weird that I found the Plyometrics easier than the chest & back from yesterday?

7/14/2010 9:08:33 PM

a little, but it could just be that you're in decent shape now.

I had packed on a few lbs before I started, so plyo kicked my ass. It still does actually, I'm always sweating like a whore in church after i do the workout.

7/15/2010 8:57:06 AM

Oh, I was sweating buckets to be sure but the jumps, lunges and balance stuff was right up my ally. My difficulties at this stage actually come from the upper body stuff that I am sure will get better over time. Tonight is arms & shoulders and I will report back. Today is supposed to be hell day from what folks have said on here.

7/15/2010 11:52:10 AM

I did shoulders and arms yesterday... I pushed hard, but I'm not even sore from it today... either didn't push hard enough or maybe I'm beyond soreness now...

7/15/2010 11:56:58 AM

Back and biceps yesterday.

A little sore from it, plyo, and Monday's workout.

i did the legs and then ab ripper x. and then i went for a 3.5 mile walk yesterday. yeah my legs are sore today.

today i'm going running. we'll see how i feel. the other day i went running and my legs felt like bricks.

7/15/2010 2:28:54 PM

"i did the legs and then ab ripper x."

What do you mean legs?

There's the Plyometrics (jump training) workout or the Legs & Back workout.

Just a note, you shouldn't do plyo and ab ripper in the same workout. None of the P90x workout plans have you do that.

7/15/2010 3:04:21 PM

Back and biceps yesterday, as well.

not really all that sore.

7/15/2010 3:33:25 PM

Add some more weight

7/15/2010 3:35:49 PM

I'm tryin this new shake that I drink after my workouts. I've noticed this week that even though I still work the body hard during the workout, I'm not as sore with the new drink as previous times.


its Nitro-Tech hardcore proseries. tastes like ass like every other drink I've used though

7/15/2010 3:38:40 PM

^^^^ I did the back and legs workout and ab ripper x. I knownot to do pylo with abs. I follow the plan. Don't you worry

7/15/2010 8:49:20 PM

^Just wondering.

7/15/2010 10:38:27 PM

So knowing that day 3 is hell day I wanted to pace myself doing arms & shoulders so I may have used too light of weight. I'll know for sure tomorrow depending on how sore I am when I wake up.

7/16/2010 12:21:08 AM

3 and 4 are usually hell days because if you arent used to working out plyo generally will make it where you have trouble even walking by day 4 haha

7/16/2010 7:40:58 AM

^true

and I just picked up this:



I didn't like the pullup bar on hte door thing. also picking up some more dumbbells this afternoon. I got my p90x gym in my garage! yay!

7/16/2010 9:13:23 AM

^,^^ so true. I am really feeling the plyo now. I thought it was just a one day thing. I wonder how well I am going to perform the yoga this evening considering I have never done yoga before. I'll report back.

7/16/2010 9:31:09 AM

for the first little while, things will kinda sucked, and I'm horrible at yoga, but its getting progressively better.

7/16/2010 9:36:21 AM

Do the x-stretch if you can't do the yoga.

7/16/2010 2:02:48 PM

And then spend 30 minutes grooming your vagina.

Seriously, you might not be able to do all the moves perfect, but you should attempt them all and then see your improvement. Substituting X-Stretch for Yoga is like walking through the mall in lieu of a marathon.

7/16/2010 4:10:37 PM

haha

7/16/2010 4:19:59 PM

hahahahaha

Dang.

Wicked sick burn, man.

[Edited on July 16, 2010 at 6:43 PM. Reason : -]

7/16/2010 6:43:17 PM

DO THE YOGA!!!! DO IT!!!

ALL of my soreness from the past three days, with the exception of a slight bit in my quads, is gone! Wow. That was amazing. Now I am pumped about the legs and whatever it is tomorrow.

7/17/2010 12:31:08 AM

I would say that I looked like a retarded monkey on my first time doing Kenpo X but that would be an insult to retarded monkeys.

7/18/2010 3:15:05 PM

Ordered mine Saturday

I might do the resistance band instead of getting a pull up bar (due to money and layout of my new apartment)... Don't I need a hook for it or something?

7/18/2010 3:20:55 PM

I've been told that you can double knot the band in the middle and close it in the top of your door.

7/18/2010 3:39:49 PM

The bands should come with what you need to do pullups.

7/18/2010 4:47:59 PM

on the last week of the first time around. definitely got some results without doing the diet. cheated here and there a few times on the workouts, but only because of time conflicts with an extremely busy schedule. Gonna do the lean option this next time around. Not dropping all the fat I want to.

Yeah, I've done X-stretch maybe twice. It's pretty worthless in my opinion. You get all the stretching you basically need from the warm-ups. I've substituted yoga a handful of times, but only because I can't take 2 hours to fucking do it. When I substitute, it's with plyo or cardio.

7/18/2010 5:00:58 PM

^^Yeah, the bands I got come with them. I got Spri from Amazon though. They're probably cheaper than the BeachBody ones and are a well-known company.
