    P90X Plan – Day 12

    Legs & Back – I felt real good during this workout this morning, I used weighted dumbbells with some of the leg exercises which made them more difficult to complete. I was also able to do more pull-ups than I normally do.

    Overall, I ate pretty good yesterday (thanksgiving). Leading up to the meal, I was snacking on peanuts. Every time I took a few, I was thinking to myself “ok, last one”…I must have said this to myself about 3-4 times. When dinner was served, I only had white meat turkey and broccoli with cheese. I had a decent size plate so it definitely filled me up. I was so tempted but I passed on desert, there was 4-5 pies to choose from too. I ate more than I thought I was going to eat but considering there was food surronding me all day, I think I did pretty good.

    I do feel I am getting better at ARX, still far from completing though. I have one more workout until my Day 14 measurements!

    P90X Results – Day 11

    Yoga-X -It’s thanksgiving and I just finished yoga-x. I enjoyed this workout more last week, it felt great on my sore muscles. It wasn’t too bad today, it just seemed to drag on…it’s a 90 minute workout. I hope my attitiude changes but as of now, it’s my least favorite workout. I know a lot of beginners end up replacing this workout with a different one but I am determined to do it as it’s part of the P90X program.

    Assuming I keep the calories down today, I am looking forward to my Day 14 pictures and measurements on Sunday. My clothes fit better and I feel that my body is getting a bit tighter…we’ll see in 3 days!

    Enjoy the Holiday!

      fightFAT: Chris - My P90X MASS routine would be perfect for you. To be honest, I thought I was going to bulk up more (physically) but it did not work out that way. What ended up happening was an increase in lean muscle. This makes sense but I also saw a significant increase with my strength. Again, my goal was to bulk up but I did not consume enough calories to make it happen. At the time, I just finished P90X doubles where I lost 27lbs so I was a bit hesitant on eating too much as I did not want to gain the weight back I just lost. Oddly enough, I have no desire to bulk up anymore…I have the same goal as you, building lean muscle. If I wasn't going to be training for my upcoming triathlons, I would be doing P90X MASS myself. I have received tons of emails claiming how effective it has been for different people. Good Luck

      Chris: Hey, I just found this blog and am looking for some solid, experienced, advice. I have two rounds of P90X down and am on my final week of Insanity. Now I want to put on some lean mass and I've been considering either P90X Mass or more of a 5x5 plan. I'm trying to comb through your blog for results of your Mass circuit and can't find it. Do you have any before/after information (or other info) to help me pick a workout to do next? Thanks, C

      fightFAT: Following P90X with Insanity is very impressive, good for you. I would definitely bring over Ab Ripper X if you are up for it. I initially thought that myself but never followed through with it. Good luck

      Matt: Hey dude, I had a question for you. I'm wrapping up round 2 of P90X in a few weeks and starting Insanity right after. I'm really loving my upper body after P90X and I've decided I'm going to keep doing the resistance workouts from Days 1 and 3 of the week along with Insanity. My question is, what are your thoughts on bringing ab ripper with me too? I know Insanity doesn't have too much resistance work, but I know it has a lot of ab stuff which is why I'm wondering. Congrats on the progress man, and thanks for the info! -Matt

      fightFAT: There is no harm in hitting pause and/or taking breaks so my recommendation is to stick with insanity. As you continue to workout, you will not only see improvement but eventually be able to keep up with the video.
