my typical back n chest day

warm up 15-20 min light back n chest ex
then:
(i always change things up all the time, but this is typical.. i also go according to how i feel)
incline dumbells, 4 sets 55, 75, 100, 10 reps each (then sometimes 120-130)
back wide grip pullup 3-4 sets 10 reps each, full range(sometimes strap 45 plate on)
straight bar machine 3 sets
back cable row (wide or close grip) 3-4 sets
incline dumbell flies 3 sets
dumbell rows or lats on bench, pull over machin (one of the three) 3 sets
cable crossover for chest 3-4 sets
then wide grip behind the neck...
then prob done depending on how i feel..

im really not dieting now.. like 3000 calories a day of good food, still eating ice cream though and pasta.

250 grams pro a day i think,, really not counting at all, just eating every 3-4 hrs.... i'll get a vid later and post a link done from my fone so u guys can see whhat i look like now
thanx for positive comments

(ps, i dont want to sound like an ass, but this p90 x thing is another late trend, and all these out of shape people are doing it... listen, workout eat right and do it yr round for the most part... its as simple as that, no trix)

Thanks for the quick info, should be interesting seeing ur vid once it's up
If anything I'm more interested in what you eat when dieting. I'm 5'6, just one inch shy of ur height so it could help me gauge the amount of calorie/protein/good fats/carbs I need to intake per day. I have a rough idea but it'd be nice to have something a little more concrete

I do agree with one thing you said tho, p90x is sorta of a late trend. I've started doing back 3 years ago. Now I incorporate the best exercises from that program into my own exercise regiment. But hey, if p90x helps people wanting to get into shape and be healthy, all the power to the product!

theres a link , took 4eva to load to pc, didn't upload to my mac from black berry

Yeah, p90x is def a trendy thing to do, but it works. Not sure if its because the program switches up and keeps it interesting or what, but it seemed to catch on. There are a million videos out there that people can do that would give a result if followed.

I, personally, hate going to the gym. I'm just not into working out and feel out of place especially with all the meat heads up here in my gym. It's way more time working out than I want to put into my day with the drive and all. Plus, I never get as good of a workout if I'm not being pushed in some manner, hence the need for Tony the turd. Goofy guy, but I'm diggin it so far on week #3!

I mean, I just want to not be uncomfortable at the beach, and have a successful mud run this year - that is all really.

It turns out, he got divorce with his wife (wife left him)two years ago and started the P90X workout, lost 30 pounds and he was featured in the informercial. I always thought those workout videos are a rip-off, but I guess it is not always true. He is in a really good sharp; capable of doing like 36 pull-ups etc.

He even tattooed the P90X logo on his chest. My reaction was "So...do they take visa?"

i have to get started with this

i just started p90x yesterday. holy shit the ab ripper is a killer. where are you guys buying the bands and weights and shit like that?

[bassholic]

From here

www.beachbodycoach.com/mattcosimini

shop -> equipment

[bassholic]

Jump to minute 5 - how does someone let themself get to that size! Even if i demolished every mirror in my house i still have touch myself to wash. At least she has a cute face.

day 2 plyometrics... oh the pain

[Wake27]

I'm kind of biased towards CrossFit. I know a guy who is at least a level II instructor and honestly, I'll take his word on almost anything, even if he has no good reason to.

P90x is solid though.

[shawshank772]

Just saw this thread and thought I would comment. I was a United States Marine for 13 years. I have always been in outstanding shape (not to brag). However, p90x does take you to another level. You get what you put into it though. You can sandbag it and get nowhere or you can push yourself. At the age of 30 I was probably in the best shape of my life. Crossfit is ok from what I have seen. But, I have also seen many people get injured doing it.

[Wake27]

When did you get out of the Marines? From what I understand USMC was the first (of the services at least) to really incorporate Xfit.

If you eat properly throughout the week, you get one meal or one day depending on what your diet is to eat whatever you want. P90X is great for getting cut and looking good as well as endurance, but you lose strength which is not a good thing in the military. Of course the typical user on this website is probably a couch potato so anything is better than nothing I suppose.

A lot of people skip yoga, but I think it is actually a pretty important routine. It did wonders for me the first couple of weeks to remove all the soreness from my legs and you get a great stretch in your muscles to prevent injury down the road. It also works out your core, which is important for p90x and beyond. The biggest problem with yoga is the length of the routine. To try and cut it down, I skipped through the breathing/mediation in the beginning and end and also skipped most of the balance postures. So basically did the first 45 minutes, some of the first couple balance postures, then skipped to yoga belly section. In all I was able to cut the workout to an hour.
