26yr male p90x

I'm on my sixth week of p90x doubles, with this website I learned that I have been undereating lol. I thought I would have been over eating. I'm suppose to be eating over 3000 cals lol. Your trying to gain 20lbs? If you are, you need to eat enough protein as well as your carbs for energy. If your trying to gain lean muscle mass your reps on exercises need to be 8 to 10 reps not 12 to 15. Hope this helps you out a bit, if you need anything else just reply back.

Yeh, I've been enjoying this site a lot. It helps me control my daily intake which is exactly what it's supposed to do but in the past I just kind of figured I was eating enough and the right stuff. Haven't so much changed what I've been eating, but eating more or it. I'm just doing P90X Classic because if I do too much cardio esp what Doubles intails, I def won't see my size gain. Just from past xp. I'm trying out a new supplement stack as well so I'll post up at some point how those results are.

I can't wait until I can get to use my P90X. I have to build up to it. I got about one week into the program when I had a pretty bad asthma attack.

I'm getting back into shape and hope to be using it in the next two to three weeks.

Welcome DefCon.

Hey lunacocoa good job on your choice from what I read you stated you had past experence with p90x? Did you do the double before? If your trying to gain muscle asap try creatin. I'm using jack3d from usp and its great. It has creatin in it (kind of like n.o. explode without the fillers). The only problem I'm having is changing the protein, carbs, and fat into the 50-30-20, 40-40-20, and 20-60-20% form. Do you know of a formula to change my daily summary on my food diary from the total # of carbs, fats, and proeins to %'s of fats, proteins, and carbs?
Thanks,

Well about 5 1/2 years ago I began working out for the first time ever really and I used John Basedow's Fitness Made Simple and 6 Pack abs DVDs and ate exactly how his video described. I got very lean with great definition. I continue that for about a year, but I never paid attention to my calories, protein, carbs or fats, all I did was eat like I said exactly how John recommended.
I began working and lost the time to workout unfortunately over the last few years so a couple years ago I bought P90X, but I still didn't have time to workout. I kind of just bought it as a motivation. So early '09 I finally began using it following the routine exactly (I was 160lbs then) for about 2 months. I lost weight but I still was not following a coloric intake, only thinking about the protein. I stopped working out once again due to work (story of my life). But I continued to just eat healthy and before I knew it I was 140lbs.
I just started my 4th week of my latest attempt with P90X and after being recommended to this site, everything has changed since I am now actually paying attention to my daily food intake. I actually have taking out the middle routines, like plyo, kenpo, etc....because the last time I did those, I wasn't seeing the results I wanted, I was only becoming leaner. I've even changed the forth weeks of each month to follow its previous or following weeks routine. I do plan on adding back all those middle routines once my muscle gain is where I want it.
Over the past 5 1/2 years of on and off working out I have tried a ton of different supplements, ranging from weight gainers, whey protein, supplement pills. I just started taking Jack3d a couple weeks ago because I heard of the pump. After taking this pre-workout supplement, it's only the second best one I have tried. The only other one I liked that gave serious pumps was Barmensen Labs HFR. It's a topical gel that u rub onto the parts you are working out. It pretty expensive and I can only find it online. Jack3d seems to be just as good and cheaper and more convenient to find (I always shot at the Vitamin Shoppe).
I also just started taking MHP Up Your Mass for the muscle/weight gain, but as I love to try supplements I decided to buy the Hard Gainer stack (this was today actually ). Here's the stack if you're interested https://secure.maxperformance.com/mhp/myweb.php?hls=1288. Before I buy any supplements I read as many reviews as possible as should be done and between Jack3d and this Hard Gainer stack I found very very few negative reviews.
Currently my goals are set at roughly:
Calories = Body Weight x 16-18
Carbs = 40%
Protein = 35% (recommended 1-1.5 x Body Weight)
Fats = 25%
These goal were slightly lower a few weeks ago, but I have been changing them according to my weight increase and by different opinions.
I'll update how my stack is working in a couple weeks.

I will say, this site is awesome. No fees!!

peace.
