Hey girls! Today was Bulk Back for me!!! Love that feeling of my back getting ripped! Had a 2 hour PT session with a very nice lady this afternoon and now just getting ready to go teach P90X!
BeastLady: Are you referring to the super set in Build Legs? I think I was using 10lbs (ea hand), 12lbs, 15lbs; it's killer!!!0 -
Hmmm... This may be my next program.0

Day 40 of 90. My schedule was Bulk Back but I went to a football game, so today was my rest-ish day. Did Leslie with walking group after school.
ddavies919, are you starting back at Build with round 2 or are you going to stay in Beast?0 -

I'm not sure with round 2. It depends on the day and my schedule. I like the Bulk phase because the workouts are shorter.0 -

Hey girls, one and for all; Stick to the program! Cheating is not a succes story.
Just follow each single day. C'on it's not even 4 quarters of an hour. Whats the problem? P90x workouts gets more time to consume. If you're not satisfied with the end results dont blame the body beast program!
FOCUS and COMMITMENT are KEY!.0 -
O my legs. They hurt so much. Yesterday Back&Bis today is Schoulders day!0

Today was the last day of Bulk phase, Yay! Can't wait to start Beast phase! :happy:0

Starting week 2: Chest Tris! I feel very good and feel also much stronger than ever before! The only threat i've got is my boyfriend. He's not liking it when im so boosted.0

Nice progress girl. Is that the results of 9 weeks into the program of only body beast?0 -

Thanks. I took the first photo in Mach, a month into P90x, but I was only lifting 3 lb & 5lb weights, hehe. So I pretty much got those results from Insanity and Body Beast, but mostly Body Beast. My biceps are now an inch and half bigger than the first photo.

Last week I got off schedule, as I was getting my child ready for college. I actually think the extra days of rest were good for me. I started my 4th cycle of Build, and was amazed at how much more weight I could handle. I can now actually do real push-ups, on my toes! I can see and feel the changes in my muscles. I may incorporate an extra rest day routinely, and stretch instead of lift. My body seems to like and respond well to the extra recovery time.0

Hi,
i've almost one week and the coming few days i go on holliday so good to read your post
Maybe i'ill start over the program from the beginning but couldn't wait to start already. I will take my trx with me so i can workout on vacation. The 9th of September will be my official start.0 -
WOW....DAy 1 last night...Chest and Tris...I certainly feel it today! Not necessarily in a "sore" way, but just a "drained, can hardly lift my arms" way!
I loved it!! Being my first time EVER lifting, I wasn't sure how I'd like it...but I have to say--I feel like I got a lot of tension out of my body during those 50 minutes....it was very therapeutic! Nice change from the cardio I was doing daily with Insanity.
Looking forward (I think?) to Build Legs tonight. I'm nervous, I've heard it's rough!!
Woo hoo!!!! Day 1 in the books for ya! Nice job! I can't believe this is your first time lifting and you're doing the BEAST!!!! :bigsmile: I love it! Way to go girl! It is totally therapeutic! Feels good to just lift and get out all the stresses of the day! Build legs is a bit rough but push through, you've got this!
Alright, done legs today. It was tougher than last time !!! Damn it's a killer!0 -
This is my final week of build and on Monday I start bulk!
LOVING this program so far! 100 times more than Insanity, for sure!! Cardio is just isnt my thing I guess. Lifting--I love it! I feel STRONG, lean, more defined. So glad I read this thread last month and decided to hop on the bandwagon!! Can't wait to see what the remainder of the program brings!!
Tonight = Build Shoulders. OW!0 -
Hey all, I am thinking of getting this. I am trying to lose my body fat and tone up - I need a lot of work. Does anyone have pics? I'd love to see the progress so far. I have done P90X which I LOVED and Insanity - and it was a struggle for me. With both I have lost 46 pounds. I have a lot more to go - but if I weigh 150 and wear a size 6, I am so cool with that as opposed to being 130 and wearing a size 8!
I like cardio - more running outside though. Any help would be greatly appreciated to help me make my mind up.

Ladies!!! I'm still here! I have been without internet for a while and doing everything from my phone is a pain! Anyway, this is my last week of Body Beast!! I can't wait to start round 2 on Monday!!!! And although my diet has been pretty good this round, I do need to clean it up a bit this next time. You girls are kicking butt!!!! Love to see it!0

There is a whole bunch of stuff about women and lifting at http://www.stumptuous.com/ (it's just a blog/info site not a spammy supplement site or anything)0

Today was my rest day! I really needed it. I'm finally leaning out again and it feels great. I gained almost 10lbs during the Bulk phase. :sad: But, I've lost 4 lbs since Saturday already. :happy: Two more weeks to go for me!0
-
I have internet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!! Sad how much we depend on it! lol Especially when most of my business is done online!
Anyway, today was Bulk Arms for me, one of my favs!!!!! Tomorrow I'm hosting a Beachbody event and we'll be doing T25! Love it!!!
You girls are rocking it!!!0 -
Ladies! Ladies! Ladies! Happy Monday!
Today officially starts round 2 of Body Beast for me!!!!! Super excited!!! Anyone else starting today? I'm about to head down into my basement and push play!0 -
the beast is in the mail. excited but wary - will I manage with normal dumbbells with plates, or will I lose too much time on changing weights?0
-
Bulk Chest last night.......my arms feel SO DRAINED today......
Bulk Legs tonight......I'm scared!0 -

Woo hoo!!! You'll find that it goes kind of quickly but you can always pause the DVD to change your weights. I'm excited to hear how you like it!0 -

I love Bulk Chest! I love the flys because they target exactly where I need it! Don't be scared of Bulk Legs; in my opinion, it's easier than Build Legs! Get it girl!0 -
Well, I'm still pushing play, but I still find myself truly disabled for about 3 days after Build legs. Also, for some reason, my rhomboids and delts also get sore after that one. I seem to be using much heavier weights than some of you, though...for the basic squats and lunges I went to 22.5 lbs each side. Regardless, I'm glad that I'm done. Tonight I'll finish the build phase and then move on to bulk. Hopefully, I won't be needing as much recovery time, and if I can actually do the whole thing without pausing too much, I'll be able to go back to AM workouts.
I did find myself taking too much time to change plates, so I started to use dumbbells for some of those exercises.
Some people just need more recovery time, though. I need to respect my body, and I will still get results (perhaps better ones) if I take an extra day. I just need to watch the calories, though...about 2 lbs of fat came back over the month. Also, I've been too sore for proper cardio. I'm thinking two days cardio/wk from here on in, one solid and one lighter with more stretching, providing the Bulk legs doesn't destroy me like Build did. Or maybe I just need to go lighter on the weights for lower body so I can complete the rest of the week intact.
I welcome your thoughts on how best to approach build, given the intense soreness I experience. I did not have these issues with CLX two yrs ago, so this is specifically related to this program.0 -

So, here's the good news. You're moving on to Bulk! Bulk workouts are shorter and Bulk Legs (in my opinion) is much easier than Build! But that's me. It's those damn step ups to back lunges that get me in Build Legs!!! And then I'm sore for days! But, you're not the only one so don't worry; I don't think it's anything you're doing; I've heard the same thing from others! Keep at it, it will get better!0 -
So, since I'm doing the Lean version this go around, today was Focus T25 Speed 1.0 cardio for me and let me tell you something......this workout is NO joke! It's quick and effective and I was dripping in sweat!!!!! Feels good to get more cardio in as I have more fat to lose!
Have a great day ladies and keep up the good work!0 -
Today was Bulk legs for me. I upped my dumbbell weight to 25, 30 & 35 for all exercises, and I literally felt like I was going to puke. :laugh: I love Bulk legs!

Happy Hump Day ladies!!!! :bigsmile:
Well, today was Build Legs for me! Damn!!! What a workout! I increased weights on all moves! Round 2 baby! Now I'm refueling with my beast shake! Oh so good! I need to keep fueled all day long.....here's a breakdown of my crazy day but I love it!
6:30am - taught P90X class
9:30am - Build Legs
12:30pm - PT session (I'm the PT)

How's everyone doing with their workouts? Any struggles or moves you don't like? What's your favorite workout so far?0 -
After a few days off, i'm back in the program. Today back&bis. Tomorrow is an cardio day. But thinking of doing a chest/tris workout because i've missed some workouts. After that i maybe will do a focus t25 workout also tomorrow.
What's the best way to workout first?0
