Thanks for any info.

You can get the nutrition plan and workout plan online. Just do a Google search. I have not followed the nutrition plan, but I do eat healthy and still feel/see results. Common sense is you know what's bad and good for you.

Its been a long trip, but I feel healthier than ever before, I lost 30+ pounds. Lets just put it this way, it was ninety days of magic. Round two monday!

[ZStig]

congrats. nice 6 pack

[Spool]

shit Vladdy...look much better than before man...keep going

[bhoch]

vladdy - Congrats.. You are looking pretty good after one round. Now, imagine the shape you can get in from 90 days from now!

It's all good stuff. Being one of the younger folks doing this (I'm 53) it's a good way to keep in decent shape cardio wise while still getting in decent weight lifts.

Once done this round I'm going to get a weighted vest for the next time through the program so the push-ups and pull-ups are harder.

Split it into 2 workouts on the same day

Good shit Vladdy!! Did you stick to the nutrition guide? If not, care to elaborate on your diet.

Edit: Also, did you stick to the workout guide?

[vladdy328]

Thanks alot guys! I am excited for round two, its going to be interesting seeing what will happen.

Thank you! I know, round two is going to be awesome. Cant wait, just in time for summer I was thinking of doing insanity next but I liked p90x so much that I just might stick with it.

I have never even seen the p90x nutrition guide. My diet was pretty strict, and I am a college student so eating bad and partying was a distraction but I maintained the level of partying to a minimum. My diet normally consisted of:

Breakfast: Eggs, an orange apple or banana, and a coffee.
-I also substituted the eggs with oatmeal or a yogurt. Whatever I had time for.

Lunch: A sandwich and soup. Of course, lean meat and wheat bread. Filled that bad boy up with all sorts of vegetables to get me full.

Dinner: lean meat (pork chops, steak, chicken breast, fish) Rice, or potatoes. Any kind of vegetables.

Snacks: peanuts, peanut butter, fruits or veggies.

And the regular banning of any type of sugars or fats. This means no flavored sports drinks or water.

Drink at least ten glasses of water per day. Preferably ice cold (your body burns at least 50 calories per 16 oz of cold water by warming the water) Drink ten= 500 calories easily burned. Learn it, love it live it.

I began to love what I was eating, I didn't even have the appetite for junk anymore after a couple weeks.

Supplements were not used at all throughout my ninety days, I had a couple protein shakes but thats about it. I would rather eat a steak or tuna rather than a shake.

For energy I used protein bars (not too many, and not everyday) cliff bars are yummy.

But thats about it.

Put it this way, just eat healthy and pure an you will see results. Guarantee.


I followed the workout program to the T though, did my workouts at the same time of day and tried my hardest. I skipped a few workouts but I would substitute them with some other sort of physical activity. Yoga was a pain in the ass so I normally only did the first half. Skipped a couple of the Xstretches. Other than that I was strict with the workout.

When I started I was only able to do a couple pull ups, and I was getting so warn out. Now I can do 20+ pull ups, and want to do more after I finish working out. One handed push ups were impossible, easily doing 25 now. I feel great!

And that pretty lookin female taped to my wall, was my personal motivation lol.

[ZStig]

I hate yoga too. once I got to the second part, I said "what the hell?"

Good stuff man! Props for sticking with it cuz I haven't been able too. I'm 6'1, 175 pounds. While back I stuck with it for about a month and a half and managed to loose 15 pounds, but the funny thing I wasn't even trying to loose weight! Lol

I'm gonna attempt to give it a go soon cuz I've been procrastinating for far too long!

I, also hate yoga, but substitute it for cardio. Anyways keep us updated on round 2!

Good stuff man. Yeah, I haven't stuck with the nutrition plan either. Usually, I'll have fruits and a coffee in the morning, then a salad for lunch. For snacking, I eat peanuts (Almonds, cashews, etc.) Then for dinner, I would have chicken, salmon or steak with rice and vegetables of course. do

After my workouts, I would mix the recovery powder and make a smoothie out of it. Not really a fan of just water and recovery powder. I use the mix frozen fruit with a spoonful of sherbet and the recovery powder. Good stuff.

[McMuffin]

Damn guys, having such a hard time getting back into it!

[Z4Murder]

not really into p90x at this point in time. although i have heard amazing things. that is more for the future; for now im trying to gain mass with heavy lifting. but every ab day i do the p90x ab ripper and OH MY GOD that is hard. i cant finish all of the entire workout, but i get close to finish each section. i definetely respect all the hardcore p90xers! props

[Saigon]

why does the yoga concentrate so much on the hamstrings/legs? i can only do about 40 mins of it. don't know how these guys/gals can do all the way up to an hour and a half -_-

The first 45 minutes or so is the hard part, the rest is static stretching.

Because most ppl don't even bother working out on their legs, hips and glutes.

If you don't like it, it means it is probably good for you lol

Your ab muscles need a day of rest to recover and build
