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!

    P90X MASS Results – Day 100

    I have a weekend getaway planned this week so I will be leaving Friday afternoon and returning on Sunday. I will be unable to do P90X (plyometrics) on Saturday and I have a very busy day on Sunday so I decided to complete plyometrics this morning. I had “interval training” scheduled for today but I squeezed in a 20 minute interval training workout yesterday and my plan is to piggyback another 20 minutes of interval training after tomorrow’s  routine.

    Plyometrics– I wore the 40lb weighted vest throughout the first sixteen exercises this morning. My legs started to burn during the first exercise but I knew my plan was to take it off before the “jump knee tucks” so I sucked it up and continued to wear it up until that point. The “jump knee tucks” are hard enough without the vest so I figured that would be a good time to call it quits. Not sure if it’s from taking the vest off and feeling 40 pounds lighter or the fact that I am just getting stronger but I was able to do double-time during the whole “jump knee tuck” routine…I have never been able to do that. My goal is to be able to wear the vest throughout this whole routine while maintaining perfect form…I am far from achieving this right now but I know I will get closer every week.

    Nutrition  – Both the wife and I are meeting up with two more couples this weekend so I know there is going to be a fair share of eating and drinking going on. My kids are staying at their favorite place (grandparents) so there are no worries there. So needless to say, I will be increasing my calorie intake this weekend with low quality and/or empty calories but I am very much looking forward to that! Then, back to being strict on my nutrition on Monday…

    Tip of the day – If at all possible, try to be as strict as you can during phase 1 and 2 of the program (I allowed myself about 3 cheat meals during the first 60 days). If you are going to cheat, you are better off cheating during phase 3 when your metabolism is at an all-time high. I am not encouraging cheating but sometimes there is no way around it. I found that scheduling a cheat meal weeks in advance kept me motivated to maintain a strict nutrition plan up until that point.

      Just wanted to drop a note and say keep up the great work. I have been following the blog and may go the mass route once I shed some more BF in this round.

      Thanks, Scott…

      That’s a good approach, focus on body fat first, then build muscle. Keep me in the loop on your decision.

      fightFATblogger: That is a significant drop. You may want to look at my P90X MASS routine, read the articles under the "popular post" column. Also, I highly recommend buying a 40lb exercise vest...I absolutely love mine and it crushes you during the chest workouts (I bought mine on amazon for $70)

      Otis: Hey I am 6 weeks in and I went to the gym to do some bench and I have gone from benching 315 to barely being able to do 195. I am pissed! I have lost so much strength!!! Any advice? I am ready to quit! Losing that much strength isnt worth the 2% bodyfat I have lost or all the beer I havent drank since day 1

      fightFATblogger: Thanks! Check out the link below but minus out the casein protein shakes to start. Both Drisc and I lost 27-30 pounds following this program for 90 days (I allowed myself about 5 cheat meals in 90 days)...we pretty much kept our calorie count between 1700-1900 a day. As you get more fit, your body will demand more calories (metabolism increases) so throw in those casein shakes or something similiar. Everyone is different so listen to your body to make sure you are eating enough. P90 will definitly get you ready for P90X, keep in touch... http://fightfatblogger.com/nutrition/

      DickG: Great job on the triathlon. Had a question, I am just starting P90, tried P90x but struggled so thought I should do a round of p90 first. What do you follow for a diet? Thanks

      fightFATblogger: Thank you, and congrats on taking the Power90 / P90X challenge... Seeing that you have to workout on an empty stomach, I would recommend having a protein shake the night before. Your muscles will feed off it while you are sleeping and your body will use it as fuel during your morning workout.
