[OFFICIAL] Fitness, Nutrition, and Supplement Discussion Thread

Okay, I just half assed a p90 program these past couple months. I actually worked out pretty hard, but didn't follow the diet. There are some results but the body fat is dere doe. I'm 6'1 and 175, looking to have a good time.. i mean add another 10 pounds of muscle. After that, I'll ask for advice on cutting. Can someone please help me out with a routine? I have a bench set in my backyard and my neighbor is letting me borrow a squat rack with his weight set.

thank you

damn, respect man. any pics of the progression?

You dont need a new/better routine you need to stop "half assing"

you should get a gym membership though as the things you can do are limited by your equipment

Anyone know any good push up routines

half assed as in not following the diet. i gave my all to tony horton lol. the thing is, i went into p90, sort of as a reintroduction to working out again. something to get me prepared for a gym and a more strict routine. i even substituted the weak cardio days with insanity. there's really nothing i can do with the equipment i already have? what other exercises are there that are limited to a gym?

my diet won't be a problem once i figure things out

^ All he has to do is refer to the first page is this thread, i broke down all the foods u should be eating and how to eat them for each purpose..

Also P90X is garbage, more than half the people who try it never actually finish or in this dudes case half ass it.. Its to long of a circuit training and most of the time overtrains you.. There is much better circuit trainings than p90 which are shorter but give u the same or better results..

Also murklur whats your actually weight set up? Be easier to help you figure somethings out knowing what u have specifically? Example, Bench press set up but is the setup have a leg extension on the bench or is just a bench with barbell? Do you have dumb bells or just barbell and plates? Just give a specific set up

There are people who go to the gym, but get nothing done and minimal results due to lack of dedication and effort. Does that make the gym garbage? P90x is garbage or lazy people gravitate to it? Parts of P90x is great (AB RIPPER X), but as a whole, most people don't finish the program because they came in with no dedication or it really is just too strenuous/long for some people. I have a few co-workers who got through it and they saw good results.

The point of P90x is for the people who feel they need something setup for them to follow. A schedule they don't want to make themselves and someone (Tony Horton) telling them what to do. It's like having a faux-trainer. So P90x isn't garbage. It just doesn't work for lazy people who half-ass it.

95% of supplements are pretty much worthless. All you really need is a protein shake and that's if you don't get too much in your diet. It all depends on your body weight but someone who weighs around 200 only needs about 40g of protein a day..

Where did i say people dont see results from p90x because of no dedication? I said people either dont finish or half ass it..

Im skeptical you gained close to 30 pound in not even a year. A good % of that must be fat. The reason you dont notice a big loss in mass is probably because you see yourself in the mirror everyday so you are slowly accustomed to the loss. That is why people use before and after pics and don't just eyeball it. You must have really let go if you lost 30 pounds in 1.5 months something about your story doesn't click. Im thinking you weighed yourself wrong

Focus on technique. Hands at sides, don't flare your elbows out.

Do wide, regular, and triangle pushups. Sets and reps should include, 15, 12, 10.

I got no point lying. Having said that, after I quit NoX I lost a good amount of weight (should've included that info earlier)..
I was very stable after that, weighing around 190. So from july to know, I've lost around 13lbs.

Just want to know how I can lose that much, and how long does it take for me to come back.

Thanks

Isn't half assing it and lack of dedication not one in the same? You're entitled to your opinion and I agree with some points, but I wouldn't go as far to say that P90x is garbage since it obviously works for a lot of people. Trainers went nuts for P90x years ago just like how they went nuts for Insanity, Spartacus, Viking, all that shit.



Haha did Drew ban you? I gained ~20 lbs in 6-7 months if that's any kind of indication. 140 to 160-165

Best flavor? My backup plan is vanilla, just incase i'm scared to try anything.

their vanilla isn't very good imo, at least with water

go chocolate

negatory unless youre not trying to build any kind of muscle whatsoever.
