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 Results – Day 56 Pictures and Measurements

    Okay, I am not trying to sell myself short but there is no chance my body fat percentage is 6%, it’s definitely higher. What is accurate is the fact it dropped 12% though. I lost 2 pounds since day 42 and trimmed an additional inch off my waist so I am happy with those results.

    My arms measured 1/4 inch smaller (when compared to day 28 & 42) so I can’t say I am thrilled about that. I did do “doubles” this past month and it’s very difficult to build muscle when you are doing a lot of cardio. I am going to decide tonight whether or not to do “doubles” in phase 3…which starts tomorrow. If I do, I will most likely start having a protein shake right before bedtime, your muscles do all of their growing when you are sleeping and think of a protein shake as food for your muscles. I held off from having a nighttime shake up until this point because I did not want to consume those extra calories that come with it but my arms measuring 1/4 inch smaller is a reason to start it.   

      

      

    Here are my Day 56 measurements:

    Body fat % – 6% (Day 1 – 18%)

    Weight – 202 lbs (Day 1 – 220lbs)

    Chest – 42″ (Day 1 – 40″)

    Waist – 36  (Day 1 -391/2″)

    Right thigh – 25″ (Day 1 -271/2″)

    Left thigh – 25″ (Day 1 -271/2″)

    Right arm – 16 1/2″ (Day 1 -16″)

    Left arm – 16 1/2″ (Day 1 -16″)

      Thanks Morgan, are you currently doing P90X…or thinking about it?

    3. Jake Says:

      I’ve been seeing the p90x info / commercials for a while and am very interested. Your site is by far the best / most complete one out there on this system. One question:
      I travel (a lot) for work and wanted to know if I could burn the dvd to my ipod to have with me on the road.
      Do you think this would this be possible? (obviously, there are some workouts that cannot be done in hotel rooms)

    4. fightFATblogger Says:

      Yes, you should be able to convert the dvds to a mpeg4 format…which is compatible with the ipod.

      You could do the kenpo, yoga, and plyometric workouts in your hotel room without a problem. The other resistance training programs may need to be done at the hotel gym.

      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.
