Yup.

For now, I'm only using Kenpo Cardio Plus as a sub for my regular Kenpo's, and it really helps liven up days 6 & 7 of the program. That "stretch option" stuff really gets to me, but I understand how recovery is important..

I think for my next round (third round) I'll go P90X plus. I definitely like that the workouts are shorter & more intense. P90X itself is great as a foundation, not as a weight-loss plan lol

Thanks Craig.

My mistake, I meant "N.O. Xplode".

I figured it was a typo. I agree, SuperPump is better then NOexplode, HANDS DOWN!

Hey guys,

I got also the P90X program but haven't started it yet. Will do so soon enough after i prepare myself in advance.

Also i've seen that there are some really big doping guys here. I personally haven't taken anything out of the ordinary, except L-Carnitine and L-Arginine. Need to shave some weight as i have plenty of muscle mass already. Thinking of taking some BCAAs but i dunno if it's too much.


Anyway i attached a PDF with the most usual amino acids and other stuff, with useful description and doses (nothing new to the hardcore guys)

Give the fitness test a try, and see what happens!

Not into doping, just healthy living.. keep the T-Bombs away!

Monster Pump is also awesome!

IMO, P90X is a great workout program if you want to get leaner especially the Ab Ripper X is a great core / abs routine. I used to have a weak core and after doing the ab ripper for a few weeks made a huge difference. Although, the program won't give you the size though. You'll need a hardcore weight training routine to gain size and maintain a well balanced diet and supplements. GL on your program. You're on a very good jump start.

if youre 6'1", 165lbs thats pretty lean to begin with. concetrate on packing protein and lifting heavy.

how minutes per day is this P90X thing anyway?

ron_cb550

The resistance workouts are about 60 minutes each + 17 minutes of extreme core work (ab ripper X).. Resistance days are days 1-3-5

The cardio workouts are about the same, 60 minutes.. Days 2 & 6

Yoga is about 90 mins.. Day 4

P90X works through 3-phases, so he'll mix up these workouts, but the lengths stay the same.

(This is based on a "standard" routine.. there are also two-a-days as well as a "lean" routine, but the math should be simple)



The P90X PLUS program is considerably more intense, but the workouts last for about 40-45 minutes, but the core portion is ~ 20 minutes. Tony describes P90X as "good for technique, stances, etc" and says P90X plus is "taking what you've learned, and bringing it to another level." He ain't lyin'!

This is what i ordered last time from bodybuilding.com the total $ was around $200...i don't like GNC because they act like assholes and think they know everything and push stuff on you which they can't sell (from my experience)..bodybuilding.com stuff is alot cheaper as well...

Controlled Labs White Flood, 50 Servings, Electric Lemonade (Pre-workout..crazy energy..NO CRASH later, Combine it with Controlled Labs Green Magnitude)
Controlled Labs Green MAGnitude, 40 Servings, Sour Green Apple ( Creatine)
Optimum Fish Oil, 200 Softgels
Optimum Opti-Men, 180 Tablets
Optimum 100% Casein Protein, 2 Lbs., Chocolate Supreme (before bed)
Athletic Edge Nutrition IntrAbolic, 1.1 Lbs., Wild Berry Punch (USE THIS DURING WORKOUT)
Optimum 100% Whey Protein, 5 Lbs., Double Rich Chocolate

i used to like N.O explode but u build up a tolerance and it has a horrible crash...

F...GNC

Plyo always kicks my ass, but I stick in there just for the Sports Bonus lol

I like the fact that BB.com has a 'live chat with an expert' feature. Whenever I'm stuck and/or unable to find some pro's, I hop online, and the BB staff is always there to offer tips and tricks (as well as the mandatory product pitch lol)
