Just curious what anyones plans are after P90X?  I am taking a break because my late April and May schedule is just nuts and then I am going to either do it again for 90 days or start training for a triathalon.  I am pumped but also a little scared about the triathalon thing.  I wonder if I should do P90X a second time first and then train for the triathalon next spring.  What do you guys think?

If you go to my journal I have day1 and day60 photos....I think its going well

ugh....did chest and back for the first time...man that sucked!!!  I gotta say that I am glad I haven't had to do that one every week, even though I probably need it because it was so tough.

Well, last week on Day 45 I finally completed Abripper every exercise every rep.  I never thought I would be able to do it but man it feels good!!!!!!

Woo hoo!!!  Back on track with lots more energy this week.  Ready for round 2 of that Shoulders/Bicpes/tricpes which kicked my butt last week!!!  I think I am going to change it up and start doing 8-10 reps of more weight as opposed to 12-15......see if I can tell any difference.

You the man Wes!!!  I don't think those Damn Pfifer Scissors are ever going to be beat!!!

I take my 30 day photo Tuesday...can't wait!!  I am not going to take any photos until the 30 day intervals just so I can have something to look forward to.  I can tell the difference though.

Rest week!!!  This ought to be interesting.  I am doing lean so four of my workouts are the same.  It will be interesting to see how I feel next week when I start with some new workouts.  Down over 1 1/2 percent body fat though in my first three weeks.  I wish it were more but I'll take it!!

I see P90X as about getting into shape not bulking up.  Believe me I didn't look like their normal guys in the photos when I started but I am seeing results.  The workouts are tough but you just have to man, or woman, up and DO THEM!!  I think the biggest problem is people who say they want to get into shape but don't want to put forth the effort to do it.  As far as no legs workout, I can tell you really haven't done the tapes to their fullest.  My quads and hammies have developed a lot of tone and my calves are cramping because they are getting worked so much.  Look, I am not knocking you at all.  There are plenty of other programs that will do what you are looking for but this one is probably not for you.  Just my 2 cents.

The one time I tried bands I didn't like them at all.  If you can afford the weights I would definately go with them.

Days 9 and 10....For some reason I am much more tired after the workouts this week than last week.  I am going to continue to blame it on the fact that I can do more of the exercises and I did up some of the weights in arms and shoulders last night.

AbRipper killed me last night...I thought I was making progress on it dang it!!!

From what I gathered the lean is more for those who want to lose a little more weight and not bulk up as much.  Not saying that classic causing you to get huge or anyting but the lean is more cardio and less weights.  In the first 30 days I only do arms and shoulders on Wed. and Legs and back on Fridays.  The rest is core, cardiox,yoga,and Kenpo.  Now what happens in the second phase?  I haven't looked that far ahead yet  :0

1 week down!!!  I think the stretchX was not that good.  I think next Sunday I will just take a break and enjoy the day off.  Anyone else?

LOL, the more the merrier.  I started this thread because sometimes the ladies do not want a guy "crashing" their party!!

Day 5 today, legs and back followed by AbRipper.  Good news, I was able to do more of AbRipper than before and I actually think I will one day do the whole thing with them!!  Bad news, my hands are killing me from the pullups.  Upper body is my weak point but I am surprised I don't see blisters.  I even have the gloves.  Any suggestions beyond tough it out? 

LOL, yeah phifer scissors sucks but mason twists are the worst!!  let's do the full workout and then try those?!?!?  I need a lot of work there!!
