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 Workout – Day 45

    Back & Biceps – Not sure if this is a good thing or not, today marks the half-way point of this 90 day program. A part of me feels like I have been doing this a lot longer than 45 days. Aspects of both the P90X workout and nutrition plan are starting to become second nature in my lifestyle…which is a great thing! I am not sure I will see the same significant changes the second half like I saw in the first half but I am going to shoot for it. Most people start to see thier best results half-way through so today marks that point. I am going to continue to push myself hard and just take it one day at a time. My intention was to do the basic classic version of P90X but I am now contemplating on doing the P90X double routine. P90X doubles consist of cardio-x three days a week in phase 2 and four days a week in phase 3. I started doubles in phase 2 to offset the extra food I am eating during this hoiliday season but I may continue it in phase 3…not 100% sure though so don’t hold me to it just yet.

    I had another great bicep workout. I am waiting for the day I can bang out pull-ups like the people on the video can. I don’t even attempt the corncob pull-ups, I replace them with standard chin-ups. I think for me, I need to shed more weight as I am currently pulling up 204 pounds.

    Cardio-X- I had the day off from work today so I had the time to do the cardio-x workout right after my primary one. My plan was to do ARX as well but I pushed that to a later time, I did not have enough energy to even attempt it. If I don’t do it tonight, I will bang it out tomorrow.

      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.
