I recently started it last week, and its KILLER man! I've been use to training, but this is some pretty intense stuff. :cool:
I'm gonna try to do the whole 2 month challenge, and I've somewhat got some support from my parents, so wish me luck guys!! :)
Links?
All High Intensity Body Weight boot camp-esq fitness programs work as long as you stick with it. I personally do CrossFit since for me it is more like a lifestyle than a fitness program. Good Luck and stick with the program to a T and you should find success.
I just do yoga and cardio workouts. I did do p90x, it was good and everything. I just think yoga is a great beneficiary for Jiu Jitsu... Works on balance, flexibility, cardio, peacefulness of mind, and allows you to become one with your body.
Insanity is sick and so is part 2 the Asylum
Thanks man, sounds good, I'm doing it so I can get in shape, because honestly I need it, I see all these fit guys in 10P, and then I look at myself, and I realize something is seriously wrong. :p Plus I'm trying out for a wrestling team after the 2 months so I need to be in shape for that, because I've seen the big guys on the team, haha, and I want NO part of that!Quote:

I'm from a family of diabetics, and obesity, so I'm looking to break the cycle man. I'm not trying to get yoked, I just need to be in good shape for wrestling tryouts, and Jiu Jitsu, then I can start doing stuff like yoga since I'll be lower in the weight, I can understand why you'd misunderstand my intentions, I see a lot of skinny guys doing it just to get yoked. :)Quote:

Yoga is the greatest way to get in shape IMO ... I was a sceptic at first but watch what the P90X creator says
i have the dvds. havent done the whole challenge but i used to do certain work outs on my off days. its def a bad ass work out. its interval training so it works well with jui jitsu
Yeah interval has been scientifically proven to burn the most fat in the shortest amount of time. It's just not great for begginers as doing HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is prone to getting injured
Hey John Flores, any progress on this Insanity workout? I have been doing some heavy research on P90X and I am planning on doing the 90 cycle once my hunting season is over.
I have spent hours going over customer reviews and checking out peoples results videos, and I have to say, this shit looks real. I'm not a big fat dude or anything, in fact with jitz and jogging I am down 25 pounds or so and looking/feeling good. (Was 190 but now 166-170)
....But one thing I have noticed with the men that do the P90X workout is that they have great lats and wider shoulders, they are bulkier in general, but cut, super definition, etc.
Anyways I'm reviving this thread because I did a search for P90X. It's by the same group of people at beachbody dot com. I'm actually all excited about it. I can't believe I'm saying this but I knid of wish I didn't have two weeks of hunting planned out! lol.
Would you call it....insane?
I was doing Insanity relatively consistently a while back, but that was when I first got into BJJ and wasn't training as often as I do now. However, I definitely recommend it since I felt much more comfortable with my cardio and saw a noticeable increase in my flexibility as well. I wish I could have continued the workout, but in training BJJ so often I found it to be far too exhausting, especially when I had school and work on top of it.
If you can find a way to balance it, I recommend it for sure!
I ended up finding a P90X set with some of the equipment for $60 on Kijiji. The package I bought was worth aver $300 if I was to buy it from the website, so I'm pretty amped. Going to get through hunting season and then start this program with my wife in Nov.
http://mensonly.org/work-out-program...kout-schedule/ - I'm an affiliate for Insanity, here's my link take a look.
I did P90x. It works. You basically eat right and work out 1hr a day. With all the dvds the work out gets mixed up pretty good and you don't get bored. You do find the things you hate and want to cut corners on, but push your self and get that sense of accomplishment after.
By the 3rd month i was crushing the work out so i changed to the phase 3 diet. Adds more carbs and changes up. I wish i hadnt because i crashed the last week. Not finishing as strong as i could have.
I threw up after the first fitness test, went from 200lb to 180, and still toss cookies the last fit test. Hell of a work out.
I'm doing it as well...on Day 5. FML its hard!!!
(This might be confusing so I'm going to twitter style this shit)Quote:

But I don't know if its insanity results, because I do work out after the insanity..I mean like I'm done, then an hour, or two goes by, and I still feel like I have some energy left over so I'll go out for a run, or hit the bags.Quote:

1) I have already lost about 95% of the fat I wanted to lose, just through JJ and running, so this is just to get cut and build strength and
2) I was in a accident when I was a kid and got burned, and I actually lost some muscle tissue in my right arm. So we will see how the muscle building goes in the right arm. Triceps might not be even with the left when I'm done.
I was at 190lbs (Computer and beer belly) when I started 10PJJ, and I'm in around 164ish now as a baseline. If I was cut like a mofo (like a crackhead) I would probaby weigh in at 155 or 150 or so. So anyways I am doing this sheerly for purposes of personal achievement, and I will post results.
i like the sound of that " for the purposes of personal achievement" part. I just got my insurance health screening results. I am still officially over weight. 5' 9" @ 182lb. i would have to lose 20lbs to me at my recommended weight. I guess i have my personal challenge.
Yeah this workout's no joke, it takes a LOT out of you, and even if you're able to take the accumulation of punishment, don't burn yourself out! Make sure that you're able to space out your workouts so you have enough recovery time.Quote:

Starch and Sugar are the culprits.
These guys have come out with a program for guys that want to put on muscle without using steroids called Body Beast. Looks pretty epic of course, but they are great at advertising. I will be interested to see testimonials from people though. I know that it was the testimonials that sold me on P90X.

I'm just posting in case anyone is interested.
@Nick: Thanks man, I'll work on doing that more often..I tend to be hot headed, and I try to just power through all of it like an idiot. :pQuote:

He has to at least be a 185'er. Lookin' forward to it!Quote:

So watch out!
Yeah, that's why I am not even considering starting my P90X program until November. I will be taking two weeks off training for hunting, and I will want a week to get back into the swing of things before I dive into P90X.Quote:

I might do the Beast thing later on too, depending on the results I get from P90X.
Sounds interesting... I'll check it out!
