P90X results: This stuff really works

[Juez]

I'm only at day 10 (stretched over 13 days >_<) and I'm already getting some results. I could barely do any of the AB Ripper X and now it's at the point I can do everything with them except I needed breaks on the Scissors and that final exercise. My abs feel solid and I'm startin to trim fat so hopefully bout week4-5 I'll have that 6 pack.

As for adjustable weights, get ones that can change quickly. I bought some crappy ones at Walmart and they take so long to change it's not worth it and as well as some other issues. If you want an alternative get a set of bands. They're MUCH cheap, but i prefer the weights.

Don't get demoralized. I'm still doing really sloppy versions of the lot of the exercises with lower reps than them but it gets smoother each time. Always look for cheater methods, but try to grow out of them. If you feel a burn, your doing it right. I'm gonna be using a chair for pull ups for awhile :/

Nothing wrong with using the chair for pull ups, seeing as most people don't use their back muscles often.

That's what's up IFB, keep continuing to bring it! Yea this program will give you awesome results. Only thing I recommend to you is in the early stages to try not to skip any days. If you have no choice but to skip a day or you feel you didn't get the results you wanted it's not wrong to repeat that same week over (as long as you don't do it for more than 2 times cause it takes away from the muscle confusion).

Modify, modify, modify until your body gets use to it. When I started day one I could only do 30 minutes of the chest and back with 80 push-ups at the most and I threw up. By the end of the workout I made it up to 270 push-ups and didn't get queezy. It's all about doing your best at that present time and to keep inproving.

I'm using those crappy wal-mart adjustable weights at the moment and yea, it's very slow (especially when your doing shoulders and arms).

@Aries I heard about the same thing, Milk from cows just isn't made to absorb into a humans body properly. It has everything we need, just not made for us. I dunno how true it is but when I lowered my consumption of it I did get faster results, so I dunno. I guess different people just react to it different ways.

And with the cha chas comment I really question my milk consumption now lol.

if you guys really want to get into efficient bodybuilding, u gotta get ur asses to the gym and start learnin' how to do heavy compound lifts: squats, standing military presses/push presses, bench press, deadlifts, etc.

^ p90x is for people who want to get rid of excess fat as fast as possible while maintaining lean body mass. It has little to do with the whole "body building" thing. That will come later. Body buliding is an art, it can take ages before you finally get the whole idea of bulk/cut cycles. Then the steroids come xD a lot of people who show off their amazing bodies are not natural.

Lol, I wonder who's troll account this is?

I'll play along too, p90x is designed for people who want strength, endurance, flexibility, speed.....the whole nine yards. It improves everything without losing nothing, there's nothing that this workout doesn't tweak. With that being said in my opinion I don't see doing squats, standing military presses/push presses, bench presses over and over will give you the same speed of results. You will get results eventually, but not near as fast as you could with the idea behind muscle confusion. Spice it up, it's the way of life!
