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 Review – Day 112

    Interval Training – Today is the start of the P90X MASS rest week. My focus this week will shift from building muscle to losing fat. This weeks schedule…

    Day 1 – Interval Training
    Day 2 – Core Synergistics
    Day 3 –  Interval Training
    Day 4 – Interval Training
    Day 5 – Core Synergistics
    Day 6 – Interval Training

    The beauty of interval training is that you can incorporate it into most fitness activities whether it’s running, biking, swimming, etc… Ultimately, the goal is to increase / decrease your pace throughout your workout. My plan is to continue doing what I am doing which has been sprinting. Sprinting may be one of the best activities for burning fat and I do not mind doing them so no need to change it up. I may also double up on a  couple of the days with a  4 mile steady pace jog. Since I have started P90X MASS, I have not been doing much cardio as too much can hinder muscle growth. Seeing that there will not be any resistance training this week, my plan is to step it up a notch on cardio…then cut back again after this week is over.

    This morning’s workout – Started with a mile warm-up while increasing/decreasing my pace a bit. I then performed fifteen 40 yard sprints. I would sprint 40 yards, jog back, sprint 40 yards, jog back, etc… I continued this until I completed fifteen of them. My goal is to increase the number of sprints I run to twenty by the end of the week.

      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.
