P90X3!! Success stories!!

determinedbutlazy

I run 3 x a week in conjunction with P90X3. I haven't seen any weight loss (I'm keeping cals pretty high) but my flexibility, cardio and strength have all shown improvements.

ETA: wow at all you beginners who can do even ONE proper pull-up... I've finished P90X and I'm halfway through P90X3 and still can't do one

Have any of you invested in a pull up assist? Wondering if it would help me get more out of the workouts while I work on my pull up capacity?

My husband was and he said it helped him a lot. He is now progressing without it. I stick with the bands.

yes...for pull ups and chin ups...use the backseat of a chair....on leg with your tippy toes resting on it for leverage.
This works super great.

Or, get a heavy band and do it like the modifier. I'm able to do one hand chin ups BUT...when i've hurted my shoulder i was using a 50lbs band and it was doing the trick...just do more...til it burns!

Are people here following the rotation as perscribed? I am used to working out longer and curious if folks are adding in more time?

I am on week 4 of the final block, and I do supplement this program. I run 3-4 times a week and circuit train for endurance.

This pic reflects 25lb difference. I've made significant progress since the 60 day mark and can't wait to so submit and get my t-shirt. Yeah, whoever thought a t-shirt would be such a motivator :laugh:

Been meaning to ask, did you get more ink done between those two pics?

Here are my results so far
Before Weight 215
Currently down to 197
and I've lost about 16.5 inches all over. And I'm building a lot of strength.




So far I'm block 3 end of week 1. I don't stay on schedule like I should, but I do a lot of yard work that makes up for "missed" days. Also, I don't go longer than 3 days without workouts. I'm sure if i did this daily I may have more progress, but I like where I'm going right now.

Wow! Great results! Way to go hun!

I'm on my last week of P90X3, and to be honest...I have not had any changes in my measurements and my weight has even gone up. Possibly I wasn't eating enough while doing this program, but it's discouraging none the less. I actually got better results from weight training and cardio at the gym, which I will be going back to once X3 is complete

I'm almost done the 90 day mass version. At first it was hard to get used to because I'm used to lifting 3-4 times a week for at least an hour plus my cardio/HIIT. However, my pushups and pullups have improved soo much. I'm also glad that the program makes me have yoga days and pilates, stretching, etc. I needed more of that in my program. I still do HIIT a couple times a week to supplement.

I've lost 3lbs and 1.3% body fat. That's very impressive for me because I don't have a ton of weight to lose and the closer I get to my goal, the tougher it is to lose. Note that I credit this loss to less cardio and therefore less hunger/metabolic adaptation (remember, I'm doing the mass program, not the fat loss).

It's a good program! I am looking forward to getting back into my compound lifts like deads, squats, etc. with my barbells though. Miss those terribly.

Yeah, I'm stuck using bands too. The pull-up bar would tear up the trim work around our doors so it's an obvious no go. Unfortunate because I feel like I'd be getting so much more out of pull-ups or attempting pull-ups.

I have a couple of weeks left before I take more pics for the end of block 3, but these are from the start and then end of block 2.

I'm adding in 4 days a week of running and 1 day of cross training, can be walking or something more fun.

I am doing classic. I don't really do any additional exercise - maybe a bit of running here and there if I have some extra calories to burn.

I am on the first week of block 3 of the p90x3 workout and since the beginning i have not lost any weight. I have however lost about an 1 inch around the waist. I think i should be progressing a lot quicker. Does anybody have any experience in this? I am Male 5'11, 181.5 lbs and i feel i eat very clean. I measure everything i eat and usually hit my target goals on protein/carbs/fats. I was doing a 40/30/30 and and just changed it tonight to start trying 30/40/30. I feel i have gain some muscle mostly in the thighs and chest area but nothing on arms. I cannot for the life of me get rid of the belly fat. Often in the evening it looks like i gain weight as my stomach gets bloated it's really weird. What else can i say that would help i do run at least 2 times a week about 3 miles each time.

If anybody has any advice please let me know.

thanks

Do you use a food scale? Also, have you had any bloodwork or have any medical conditions? On a side note, you might need a few more calories. i am the same stats as you and I eat 2500 calories and lose 1lb per week. But I am also doing doubles. Although if you aren't losing, it's either mismeasuring or something else going on.

I just started week 2 guys! I am just doing the normal program for now. I love thia program so far! I felt an amazing difference between total synergystics on day one to today day 8! Last week i struggled the entire time. Today even my boats and plows were pretty decent!

Amaze-a-balls! I love the Beachbody workouts so much I started selling them! I coming into week 6 of X3 and still love.

Awesome job!!!!! I found the best part with it only being 30 minutes putting in suplimental cardio workouts a couple times a week is easy, so that's what I'm doing too!

Bobs123456

Starting week 9. Down 17 pounds. Also do hot yoga 5 days week. Sedentary job. Thinner than i normally am at this weight probably due to the core. Dieting too. Been doing diet to go. Live in dc area. Good, but expensive and yes I eat other stuff. Try to keep calories under 2000 a day.

Accelerator is the hardest one so far. Decelerator for first time tomorrow. Looks hard. Do all 7 days.

Male. Could probably lose another 30 pounds. However at that weight I would be totally ripped. We will see.

Plan to be outside more when it warms up to burn more calories.

P90X workouts are long (around an hour plus the abs dvd). P90X3 workouts are 30 minutes.
The P90 series uses weights and resistance days alongside cardio and stretching/yoga days, and is less focused on cardio than Insanity.

Hey guys I'm about 5"10, 162lbs and I have 35inches off of my belly. I'm really lost into either starting off with t25 or p90x3 classic or lean, because I feel that I have a bit of muscle definition around my shoulders, bixeps and trixeps but I plan on losing the belly fat off without losing muscle. I thought about t25 but I was afraid I would lose some muscle and then I thought about getting the Lean p90x3 since it is kinda both resistance/lifting and cardio. So what do you think guys, should I start off with Classic or Lean or shift to t25 or..? I'm not that much of a weight lifter but I like cardio

I'm in the transition week of block 1 and I haven't lost any weight I'm not taking measurements and photos til the end of the week so maybe that will tell a different story. Or maybe i'm just a late bloomer.

I'm 5'2 ish, 149 lbs. Relatively active as I bartend 4-6 days a week for 9-12 hour shifts on my feet at all times. I'm trying to stick to about 1600 cals per day, but have been known to go over. I eat relatively "clean" as in no fast food and no soda. Unfortunately I get caught up eating some not so healthy stuff through pure necessity. ( I don't get a break so I can't sit down to eat a meal. Anything eaten at work has to be done standing up and on the go. )

Will come back and post pics here if there is anything to show!

Ok..showing just my back side. The front/side still make me cringe.

Before p90x3 and after Block 1 (so..day 28) Not a whole lot of difference, but I can tell the bikini bottoms aren't cutting in as much.

When I did P90X I didn't see much change the first month. It was in the second month photos I could finally see the changes. Hang in there the changes will happen!
