We have made it to Phase 2. I'm very happy to see that all of you have done great this week on keeping up on your workouts. Unfortunately for me, that wasn't the case and i celebrated too much. But there is nothing i can do about that now and all i can do is move foward and forget the rest. I am so happy that recovery is over and that we are going to get down to business and get this done.

Now onto Business

i am going to post our Phase 2 week schedules in another post.

P.s. I will ask for your weight and current measurments after i finish post all the schedules

    Phase 2 Schedule for Classic

    WEEK 5 – 7: If you rally want to add some size, now is the time to go for it. Use enough weight on each exercise se that you max out at 8 to 10 reps. If you just want to continue developing lean muscle, use enough weight so that you max out between 12 and 15 reps. Never do 11… (we kid you). Also keep in mind that your body only builds muscle while at rest. To try to get at least seven hours of sleep – which should be easy, because this schedule will wipe you out.

    Day 1: Chest, Shoulders & Triceps (55:44), Ab Ripper X (16:07)
    Day 2: Plyometrics (58:36)
    Day 3: Back & Biceps (51:36), Ab Ripper X (16:07)
    Day 4: Yoga X (92:24)
    Day 5: Legs & Back (58:56), Ab Ripper X (16:07)
    Day 6: Kenpo X (58:46)
    Day 7: Rest or X Stretch (57:32)

    Phase 2 Lean Schedule

    Phase 2
    Your body should have adapted quite well by this phase, and it will be time to focus on reps and failure. During these weeks you’ll want to attempt to increase the weight you use for each exercise. During this phase, try to finish between 12-20 reps and be at or near failure at the end of each set. Remember that your body only gets stong while at rest. So be sure to get enough sleep!

    Weeks 5 – 7
    Day 1: Core Synergistics (57:27)
    Day 2: Cardio X (43:18)
    Day 3: Chest, Shoulders & Triceps (55:44), Ab Ripper X (16:07)
    Day 4: Yoga X (92:24)
    Day 5: Legs & Back (58:56), Ab Ripper X (16:07)
    Day 6: Kenpo X (58:46)
    Day 7: Rest or X Stretch (57:32)

    gained 2 pounds

    I take full responsibility for my 2 pound gain. When i got out of the 170's last week i celebrated too much and didn't excercise at all last week. I also ate pizza and pasta. Right now i am at the point where i don't even feel bad about my gain because i know deep down that i deserved it for my behavior this week. I also feel like i will never eat pizza and pasta ever again. it sounds so gross right now. I am ready to move on and i got back on my p90x today.

    P.s. i also got a better job this week yay

    As for my measurments, i am a bit disapointed

    waste:37.5 / 37.0
    hips:42 / 42
    chest:39 / 38.8
    right arm:14 / 14
    left arm:13.5 / 13.8
    right thigh:23 / 24.8
    left thigh:25 / 25.3

    I got bigger in everything except my boobs. ah well. I am just really happy that i did core synergistics today. I feel like i have some stability in my life again. Last week i was all over the place and i felt like everything was out of control. That is another reason why i feel that i need p90x. I felt so much more in control when i was doing it. i am so excited about this week.

    you will get into the 170's, just don't be erratic like i was and stop for a week. When you get out of the 180's you are gonna feel so accomplished.

    I've been struggling with this the past day or so. I figured I'd see what fellow P90X'ers had to say.
    - I've only lost 4 pounds so far, none at all this week.
    - I'm allergic to mountain cedar and take Nasonex, and Singular or Zyrtec from October through February/March.
    - I need to use my asthma inhaler during allergy season.
    - When I started my calories were set at 1500 and I've cut them back to 1200.
    - I got a HRM a couple of weeks ago and according to it I burn around 600-1000 calories a workout.
    I'm reading "Skinny Chicks Don't Eat Salads" and read the message board post "700 Calories a day and not loosing". I've got a good handle on all that stuff. What do all of you MFP P90Xer's think? Should I increase my base daily calories from 1200? What do you have your set at?

    No one in my family including me has allergies, so unfortunately I can't help you there.

    I posted in the Phase 1 thread about nutrition during P90X, but to sum it up: DO NOT UNDEREAT. If your base calories are set at 1200, eat ALL your exercise calories. Seriously and for real. This is a strenuous program and your body needs fuel.

    My calories are set at 1700 as a minimum, and I customized the carb/fat/protein percentages to fall in line with the P90X nutrition plan (they're not exact, but pretty close).

    A little improvement but I'm anticipating more this month. I had my calories set at 1200 and just now remembered it was recommended to have it set at 1800. Doh! I set it at 1700 and hopefully I'll see better results! :smile:

    The best advice i can give you is too not UNDEREAT!!! I did that for 1 week and didn't lose nothing. I was eating around 1500 calories a day and i also noticed that i was feeling like fainting alot and nausea. I then read Mello-jello's post and read the diet book again and i decide to try it for 2 weeks. That week when i ate exactly to the plan, i lost 2 pounds. I will admit that i don't understand the full science behind the diet but it works, you really need to trust it. Believe me, you are worth it

    Also everyone, if you looking for a really good protein bar. I would recommend the Think Thin bars. They have the same 20g of protein that Cliff body builder bars have and are also less in calories and sodium. Gluten free as well. They are pretty yummy i must say
