oh yeah totally works out perfectly cuz its just about 3 1/2 months till I move back to Chicago. But like I said, playing bball 3-4 times a week is a hard habit for me to kick. It's great cardio, I've estimated I'm buring between 750-1000 calories every time I play (1.5-2.5 hrs). I just don't see room for that in this program and I kinda wanna finish playing here (since its free) because I know when I move back its gonna be a lot harder cuz the gym isn't as close and its also $80 a month to join.

I usually do super sets with low weight when I lift (which from what I hear is the same kind of thing this does for you) but the problem is I have no direction when lifting so not much gets accomplished, I gravitate more to whatever is open or not crowded rather than a good system, and it'd be nice to have that with this. Plus since the weather was cold/snowy until last week, I would always drive to the rec and you have to pay for parking over there which I hate so I just lost motivation to go until after 5 when its free.

I might see if I can get a cheap copy of this and maybe just do some of the workouts on my off days. I'm not looking to get big or anything, just get cut and drop about 10-15 lbs in my gut and ass.

I'm gonna go check eBay and see if I can pick it up cheap and maybe a few 10-15lb dumbbells.

I don't know what your day consists of, but you can definitely do this workout and play ball. Well maybe not the first few days of the workout cuz you'll be sore, but its manageable depending on your schedule.

My gf's brother would do p90x in the morning and run 3-6 miles three times a week. He was already in good shape tho.

I got my p90x on eBay and paid about 65-75 can't remember. You'll see people selling them for as low as 30-40 bux. Don't even bother trying to buy it cuz it will never be sent atleast that's what I experienced. Good luck!

for me:

breakfast = oatmeal or half bagel with fat free cream cheese (w/V8)
lunch = turkey sandwich on whole wheat and a yogurt
dinner = either salmon or chicken breasts (Costco rules!!), fresh veggies
snacks = fresh fruit or kashi granola bars.

Endurox R4 for my recovery drink.

Monday will be the start of Phase 2 for me...and honestly i can say i need to be more strict. I missed several workouts in Phase 1...and my diet slipped on a few weekends. so while i did see some results...it could have been better. I'm going to try to step up my game in Phase 2.

cool thanks, I'll see how it goes. I guess my main concern isn't having enough energy (though I'm sure I won't at 1st) but more so having tight arm muscles and it throwing off my shot... I know it sounds stupid but whenever I lift the day before I play, my arms are so tight (and I try to stretch) that my shot feels really unnatural and not fluid. Whatever, I'll see how it goes and if not I'll just put it back up on eBay.

my cousin hits the gym an hour a day and still bballs. not sure if your exercise routine is much longer and strenuous, but i think you can work it out.

hope so, I play hard for like 2-3 hrs like 3-4 times a week. If I start this up I'm sure that will go down significantly. Pertaining to the lifting (when I do cuz I usually go in spurts of like a week or 10 days worth then not for like 3 weeks again) I'm doing superset workouts, 5 sets of 20 reps on easy weight and doing about 10-12 different workouts/machines. Its similar to like the Wolverine/300 workouts but its probably the massive amount of reps I'm doing that tighten me up.

Well my "recovery" drink has always been protein. I don't know what the other options are, I just know this typically works for me!

[TTexan]

Here is tonight's dinner: Habanero and Peach Salsa Marinated Salmon and Wild Rice

[Garduna]

lol dinner of champions! It looks quite delicous! FOr me, I'd swap out the habanero for some garden salad /w balsamic vinegrette with a dash of honey. Add a desert after of yogurt + fruits and load up on that water again hehe.

Check this recovery drink out. Its similar to the beachbody recovery drink and less expensive.

I've read blogs and most people seem to see results after the 30 day mark. Also, most people quit within the first 30 days because they see no progress and its probably cuz they've never worked out and the body is in shock mode. I'm sure you'll see results in the next 30 days. Don't give up man!

[RealSanaii]

I was just lurking around M3post and saw this thread.

I had to try to P90x..and man did it almost kill me. I got an ACL reconstructive surgery 3 months ago so I could only do few of the work-outs but still it was enough to make me almost faint.....I had to lie down for a good 10 minutes.

Hopefully, my knee heals up soon so I could do this for the full 90 days.

BTW, after doing chest-back for one day and abs for 2 days, I could def. see this program working.

[.:bHd:.]

damn rest week makes such a huge difference. I did day one of phase 2 yesterday and my tits look like a b cup. lol

hahahha, good to know...... i was under the impression that u were a chick with saggy c-cup that firmed up into a b-cup.........very plausible dun u think?

This conversation is soo straying away from P90x XD

[Turbo>NA]

I want to play this game! 5$ only" Lets raise that shit!

I did P90X for month and I took a week off and I cheated here and there but not too much and I still look legit. Should I post a pic of before I started or my "after," picture i took last night?

I started over last night. Day 1 of week 1 complete.

We should add each other on facebook, 100x more easier to comment and see each other.

(For those who are too embarrassed to post pics on Facebook, you can make your pics or album PRIVATE so only we can see it)

Your cheating already tisk tisk...
Im down to raise the stakes but this is more of a fun thing. Now I think even if we do this people should log not only workouts but also diet as well. I got fat and started March 1. I started at 236 and im now at 220, but I leave 0 room for cheating and workout 2x a day. I will post my pics on my 30day mark.
