About Me...

I consider myself an average 33 year old guy who is married with two young kids. I work full-time during the day so my plan is to start my workouts no later than 5:30am. I know this is not going to be easy but I am determined to get in the best shape of my life!

    INSANITY – FINISHED

    As planned, I banged out doubles yesterday (max plyo in AM / core cardio balance in PM) and finished the insanity program with max cardio conditioning and cardio abs this morning …

    WOW, lost 7.5lbs this week…I guess that is what you get when you combine a metabolism on fire with a very strict nutrition plan and MAX workouts

    I am 5lbs lighter than my day 90 P90X weight and about 10-12lbs lighter than I was when I participated in both triathlons last year. I can’t even remember the last time I was at this weight. What makes it more impressive (in my opinion) is I cheated on my nutrition plan about 40% of the time. During P90X, I would say I only cheated about 6%. Again, this is a clear indicator that my metabolism is in high-gear right now….but also how effective the insanity program can be at burning calories

    On a side note, my wife is also very happy that I am finished with insanity. She told me this at the end of P90X too but she thinks I look too skinny when I am at the weight I am currently at…..she claims my face looks too thin and I am starting to look unhealthy. I just don’t think she is used to me at this weight but I do somewhat agree as I feel like my ideal weight is a few pounds heavier. Anyways, I told her not to worry  because the minute we get to Newport, I am hitting Busker’s Irish Pub to consume a fair share of empty calories (wink wink)…

    Off to Newport (no kids)….time to really bring it!

    -check back next week for a complete insanity review

      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.
