P90X Tips and advice! Do’s and Don’ts
February 24,2010 This is my second round of p90x, the first time I could not finish due to time constraints. This has allowed me to be able to constrast what I feel works better in relation to my training. Currently I’m on week 7, and the stomach is finally starting to peel back. If you have any specific questions you want to know about feel free to ask. Also check out the blog at mbarthel2002.blogspot.com I will be giving advice on fasting, p90x and other misc topics I feel are worth talking about.
I’m starting today.
I’m excited.
@profitfever Everything gets better just stay consistent. If you put in work results will come. Seriously though, the diet is going to make your results show. Abs are made in the kitchen. I’m still learning whether we really need a high protein diet but definitely try to avoid the fat.
Thanks man, liked your video for you. Me and my brother just started this up, to begin with we are just cutting out junk food and trying to eat low fat foods with additional protein and eventually when we can afford it make our diet better. Good to know about the pull up bars, we need them and have started to just do with it in week one.
Tbh Yoga was the hardest for me, I’ll be honest, week one i didn’t stick it. Any tips on that?
great tips, but by far the best thing you said was dont be prideful. how many times were you able to knock out 30 pushups in the first round, but by the end you could barely do one.. same thing with the pull up bar. use the chair if you have to towards the end
@1977Brehon I wasn’t really on supplements and i didn’t follow the beachbody diet plan to the t but I think about day 30 you start really seeing a noticeable difference. From 30 to 60 it starts to kick up a notch also. For most people your not going to see the television 90 day transformation they advertise but it is possible if you are really strict on diet and stay consistent. Good luck man! Might be good your not on the east coast so that food won’t tempt ya.
I feel you Brody I’ve traveled the country and yes New Orleans has some good food and you right between NYC and NO food is great!!! I’m out in California now miss the southern and east coast cookin!!!! And I just started P90x how long before you see some results i know everyones body is different but just a question Brody?
@1977Brehon lol, I have never been to New York so I don’t know about that one but trust me I think New Orleans got it on lock. Something about those cities starting with New I guess. I’ll get there one of these days though!
Cmon son New York City got the best food in the world hands down!!!! Get it right lol
im looking forward to plyometrics tomorrow, today i felt dizzy after everything.
@trainerjoeltv that’s a new one! I wish I had his money though.
@matt876mma goodstuff man! its all about the effort! your body will adapt. get that ab ripper in though even if you make it two different workouts.
grrrrr, i just started the first vid today , chest and back, i did all the video with big reps , and by the end , i was dizzy and nauseous , and did like 2 excersises of the ab ripper x , and failed, i just couldnt go on, lol… just need to get some sleep tonight, and plyometrics tomorrow,
Great advice, im gonna start this weekend xD im subing
@MotivationToGive damn son, you gonna be a monster! you playing sports? if so I would use p90x in the offseason for condition and your in season sport should be specific enough to get you the body you are trying to achieve!
@MotivationToGive im 6’3 and 170 lbs.
@danrain12345 Man your 16! of course you can cheat! But I would try to keep it to a minimum. the more protein you eat the more muscle you’ll pack on but if you eat bigger portions you’ll probably just gain overall size. how big are you now?
@MotivationToGive when you say eat more, do you mean sticking to the diet but in bigger portions? Or can I cheat a little bit and have some junk food. I’m 16 by the way.
great video and advice man. I tend to do as many push ups as I can on the pushup days but I always end up watching the TV for 20-30 seconds while those guys are still workin. I will use your advice and try to shoot off some knee pushups and keep the train rollin. Thanks!
@danrain12345 yeah, you just have to eat more and use heavier weights if you are trying to bulk up.
Does this work for skinny people?
@MotivationToGive alright thank you
yeah i just finnished day 4 and i am already seeing changes! it’s awesome! i used the bands though. no i’m not gonna make vieods though. i’m just doing this for my cousins wedding. it’s really fun though!!
@ceLiNAwina Sup! The bands will definitely work but like I said the pull ups are hands down the best!
If you do them at the gym I don’t see a reason why that wouldn’t work out for you though. Just make sure you are still giving your bodyparts adequate rest so that you don’t start overtraining. Let me know how it goes! Will you be making videos?
& My roommate won’t let me put stuff for pull ups in the house. (he’s awful! ) i was wonderin if I could do pull up exercises on days I go with my friend to the gym & maybe use the bands during the video. This was a helpful video hope u respond
thnks for ur time! I look forward to starting this program!
Hi! I actually got my copy of P90x on a flash drive. Including some paper (calendar, things of the like) NO equipment, no nutrition guide. I was wonderin what are some must have equipment? I have 5 pound weights & 10pound weights & one lame band. Im 4’11″ 18y/o girl & out of shape. will I get used to the 10 pound ones fast?
@jjacosta927 Hmm, if your arm is healed then you shouldn’t have any problems. Just make sure you are working with weights that are comfortable in the beginning until you feel like you can handle more. Try to eat a healthy balanced diet. Otherwise, be consistent and try to do all of your workouts and you’ll see the results you have been desiring!!!
