What are you taking after you workout? I recommend whey protein before you workout if you are taking some sort of recovery drink after. Also, I would suggest taking casein protein right before you go to sleep. Sleep is primetime for building muscle and casein is a slow digestive protein so your muscles can feed off it all night.

I'm 5'10, about 175. I'm 25% body fat and want to get more muscle on my body. losing weight is not a goal for me, i would still like to be around 165 - 175 but muscle instead of fat. How do I make sure I don't loose too much weight? Also, since I need 1g of protein/ lbs. should I just have more protein shakes during the day instead of before my workout? Hey,

What would be more effective for this program P90X or the P90X+. I have them both and I'm not sure what the difference is. Would P90X+ work better or is it about the same? I have one more for you.

It took me about 4 months to finally complete it 100%. I hear ya on the difficult workouts though. Insanity workouts are strictly cardio (some strength exercises but no weights are involved) and they are much more intense than the P90X cardio routines. The problem you are going to face is gainning weight while incorporating insanity workouts into your routine. Try it though, one insanity workout shouldn't affect you too much if like you said compensate by eating extra calories.

I just got out of football and track so I tend to enjoy the more difficult workout over the easier one. I have a friend that wants to run insanity and I was trying to make this a mix for me and him. He of course would run the P90X and insanity to a tee while I would do this mass with a little insanity. or that was the idea. Is it really that bad? I havent personally tried the insanity yet so idk how much I would actually burn, but it did look to be very intense.

So, it would almost be a day off but you will still work your abs and get a little cardio in. I don't recommend doing a full blown insanity workout when trying to gain weight/muscle...it's too intense.

My main question is if i could replace the plyo and possibly the ab ripper x with some of the insanity workouts i.e insane abs Would that hinder my results as long as I eat in excess of what I expend. I currently have both sets and use ON 100% Whey along with a solid multivitamin. would there be any problems with me doing it like this? Hey,

Developing decent results so far. I'm not overweight 5'11" 165 lbs. I just want a bit more size and definition. Will that develop over the last five weeks if I keep following the phase 2 nutrition plan or is moving on to the phase 3 nutrition plan best? Just about to go into rest week #2 and start phase 3.

You need to determine how many calories you currently consume on a daily basis and start off by increasing it 1000 more calories if possible. Your nutrition plan should consist of 40% carbs, 40% protein, 20% fat....or close too Everyone is different so it’s difficult to say.
