I just started this workout a couple weeks ago and most say it is really challenging. The weights are the easy part the yoga and the jump trainning are what really kicks your ass.I have also found that I have no flexibility at all so I am struggling with that part of the program, I guess all those years of just going right to trainning after two warm up sets without stretching has not helped me.
Is anybody else doing P90X ?

translation=couldn't handle it :-\

i have nothing against chaniging the way you train especially if it is something that challenges you
I do, however, take huge umbrage with the "P90x" people trying to take credit for kinda inventing this type of training
the exercises they show in that program are the same calesthetics my uncles did in the Navy back in the 40's
....and Yes- I know that it is gay that my uncles were in the Navy

True i was a marine and the training is fast and very athletic px90 will get you results if you want a smaller build also good for burning fat...
and no its not gay to be in the navy people are gay not if you served your country..or any part of the armed forces

it is really a bunch of old weider principles that they are using,nothing new just putting a bunch of them together and introducung them like it is something new which it isnt it has been around since Arnold competed
I just look at it as a way to rip up before summer hits

Dude's made a shit load on making people believe that "muscle confusion" really exists. But if the program works, it works.
-
I did try it, shit is pretty tough, had to pause it many times to catch my breath.. definitely an endurance kinda workout, not sure how much true strength you get at the end of the program as in how much your bench, squat, and deadlift will increase after you finish the 3month program

Thats true , but-->
Beachbody "packaged" + all the "cult following" it generated through the social support on youtube , etc,
Beachbody made about $500 million off it.

Here here, agreed. Did the same routine straight for a year, made ample gains. The whole "shocking" the muscle, it a bit silly. I've trained both ways, same results. It's in the diet, or drug regiment for many.

Hey Tom..... do you flex your 14'' arms while your brushing your teeth like that bruce lee looking twink does on those gay commercials?
-
it isnt going to do much as far as bench or dead lift,
you workout way to often to gain alot of strenght you only rest one day a week
-
;D

yeah sometimes,
whats your excuse ?
-
look at all the "i don't want to lose 10 lbs off my max bench just to reduce my waistline by 10 inches " assholes.
tomslut, do what works for you and keeps you coming back.

Hey man I'm not knocking it...... I was just curious.

thats what I am saying
I have always been that way refusing to lose size to get ripped
but honestly it aint f$#king easy and I think when I do go back to my normal workouts after 90 days I will be glad and build muscle you can see off a lean frame instead of a semi fat one with big arms and shoulders
-
P90X, great for those who "don't want to get too big", but lean up.
I always like these guys. Afraid their EXPLOSIVE genetics will rip their shirts, if they lift too hard.
"I want to start going to a gym, but don't want to be as big as you."
Reply, "Don't worry, with your genes, you have nothing to worry about." ;D

I usually do some P90X before I get into my gracie jiu jitsu workouts. It's brutal. I get done and post my results on facebook. I get a lot of positive feedback. P90X is the real deal. I went from 15 inch arms at 10% bodyfat to 8% with 16 inch arms.

How many pairs of DB's did you buy for home?
A major problem w/ PX90 is that if you live in an upper level floor of a condo/apt you can't do all the jumpping around shit.
-
I've got about 200 pounds of dumbells. My grandma yells at me because the foundation of the second floor is a little wore out and i make a lot of racket, but it just feels more hardcore when the floor is shaking. I might actually bring the house down one day.

It's for ladymen imho.

I am already big,I weight 250 right now
I havent done a body fat test in awhile but if I had to guess it would probably be somewhere between 25 to 30 percent(too high)
even though I have been trainning 3 to 4 times a week like normal ,my leanness and diet have suffered and turning 40 probably hasnt helped much either(not that I am making any excuses )
sometimes you have to do something radical to snap yourself out of a slump you are in
-
I think P90X helped me in my transition from being a hardcore bodybuilder pushing super heavy weights, to training to be a cage fighter doing intense cardio. I like to go into the championship rounds, 5 - 5 minute rounds just raging with the intensity of a pitbull.

One thing I've noticed about this program is that it's not for big, overweight individuals (I'm not saying about you but you do fit the "big" description). Look at all the ads, the commercials, etc. These people were really not that overweight to begin with, I would but them almost in the category of "skinny/fat". Looking at the exercises, plyo's for example, you would never have an obese person do these. Look, it's a legit program from what I can see, but it's not for everyone, not for the obese, not for people with heart disease and definitely not for people with bad joints!
-
I love p90x it's gotten me into amazing shape while losing some of the bulk I was carrying, definetly helped
mobility that I lost over the years with the hardcore stretching and core routines.
Totally worth it.

A major problem w/ PX90 is that if you live in an upper level floor of a condo/apt you can't do all the jumpping around shit.
I bought 160 lbs of weight ,a weight rack,two sets of dumbells,and a set of 9lb dumbell for 140 dollars off a guy on Craigs list
hell of a deal you cant buy one set of 50 pound dumbells on ebay for that money
and yes I am on a second floor and worry about all the jumping too, that is one of the most intense workouts he says to land softly but at 250 that is easier said then done especially when you are tired

I am having problems with some of the yoga,
believe it or not the yoga is one of the most intense cds out of all of them and there are moves I just dont have the flexibility to do right now but I am hoping it will get better the more I stretch and the leaner I get
-
what is wrong with you queers that say this is for ladymen, etc?
most douches who call p90x are the ones who applaud adonis who says he got ripped on eating cardboard and cupcakes.
it's high intensity plyometrics combined with weightlifting, it's not some scam that you strap on your belly. so it's gay if you follow some guy on a dvd doing it, but putting on a bandana and an oversized sweatshirt and going to the gym in your zoobas to hang out with the bros is somehow manly?
-
LMFAO! @ 99Bananas post ;D
-
Tomcat, I do believe it, I tried the Bickram Yoga a couple times It was tough. Flame on people!
-
Yoga is sum rough shit.
If you wanna get lean and in shape then there's nothing wrong with it.
You should do a before and after journal thread on the training board.

I will probably do that I am 2 weeks in so far,
yoga is an hour and a half long the rest of the workouts are only an hour
I am hoping next week I will be more ready to deal with it then I was this week
