Great job! I've used P90X forever now and can still only do 1..ish pullups. I'm going to take into account that I'm a girl and have some heavy lifting to do. Stay motivated!

Greetings all,

I just finished my first bout of P90X- yesterday was graduation day! :P I was mainly attempting to reduce my body fat and get some strength gains. I am really happy with my results and I loved the program. Figured I'd risk all the potential embarrassment for the good of you fine people and show my results.

For the curious, I did the P90X classic schedule but maxed out at all the "lean" rep numbers (12-15) for resistance exercises, and I used bands rather than weights. As a result I definitely gained some lean muscle and toned up but did not bulk much. I definitely developed some upper body strength though, felt every area of my body

Sorry about the obvious change in camera between 60 and 90 (finally bought an actual digital camera!) as well as the annoying flash on the 90 pics, I didn't really think about it when taking them, d'oh.

-Day 0-


-Day 30-


-Day 60-


-Day 90-


Starting weight: 178
Current weight: 150.5

Day-1 Wide Front Pull-ups: 0
Day-90 Wide Front Pull-ups: 8.5 unassisted, 12 assisted

Day-1 Chin-ups: 1... ish
Day-90 Chin-ups: 10 unassisted, 15 assisted

I'm done losing weight more or less. I'm going to be doing another course of P90X pretty much immediately, with some modifications. I'm going to keep up cardio to a lesser extent but this time I want to put on some real muscle.

I've read an EMBARRASSINGLY huge amount amount the principles behind P90X (thankfully, it's just basic sport science as it turns out, fancily repackaged with clever terminology), so if anybody has any questions I'd be happy to oblige!

Note: Apologies if any of this doesn't show up right, I may have to edit after the post.

Congratulations. You have definitely lost fat and look great. Way to go.

Do you have to use a pull up bar? I live in an apartment and don't want to risk damaging a door frame.

I used this pull-up assist: http://www.amazon.com/Lifeline-4-PUR-USA-Pullup-Revolution/dp/B003KNC1MO/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1339177793&sr=1-1-catcorr

To be able to get into form doing them. It helps a ton!

See the last answer of my long post above- I did the nutrition plan with a few exceptions. Ate generally very low-carb.

You can do a modified move with the bands if you have a way to secure them over a bar of some kind. I live in an apartment too though and the bar I posted works on the frame just fine, no damage.
