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 Reviews – Day 140

    Posted on 19 April 2010
    Tags: P90X MASS Workouts

    Plyometrics –  I would say this past week might have been the worse P90X week I have had since starting. The workouts went pretty good during the week but I did not do ARX (ab ripper x) once. Also, I missed a workout over the weekend. I did have a great plyometric workout (wore the 40lb vest)  this morning but I was supposed to this workout two days ago…which means I missed Core Synergistics so I will have to make that up somehow. Today marks the first day of my rest week so I am not required to do ARX this week but my plan is to do it three times to make up for last.

    To make things a bit more challenging, I am off to Colorado Springs on business travel this week. Not sure if it’s functional right now but the hotel I will be staying at has an outdoor heated lap pool. If this is the case, my plan is to get a jump start on my triathlon training and swim laps for my workouts. Swimming is another great exercise that falls under the interval training routine that I have been doing during my P90X MASS rest weeks.

    I not going to let last week discourage me. If anything, I am eager to get started on my P90X Triathlon training program. I also plan on being more strict on my nutrition as I did allow myself to eat more during my P90X MASS routine. Over the next 13 weeks I will be shifting my focus from building muscle to getting ripped (or at least trying) so I am looking forward to that!

      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.
