after just finishing P90x2 (yes P.A.P is awesome @thehoss316 )..i decided my body can use a recomp as i am 5'9' at 150 however i am probably at 18% bf and would like to be 15% .So for the first time in my life i am embarking on a serious lifting program.
I chose 5x5 SL as its highly recommended for beginners and i am eating at about maintenance.Best part about it is ill have more time on my hands as the workouts are pretty short0 -

Lol... I'll take a 4-pack! I'm assuming 70*2*8 means 70# for 2 sets of 8?
You got it. 2 sets of 8. This is a deload week, so fewer sets and reps with almost normal working weights.0 -
Well- my strength is strength training so I am doing a modified blend of beach body workouts, hubby power lifting mix and throwing in my fun cardio days. I am 50 (51 next month) and refuse to break down like an old car...
John and I thought alike today- chest, shoulders, tris with a little treadmill0 -
Day 1 is over
I am doing hard corps 22 program. Today was cardio 1 and core 1 which was manageable. I figure I may eventually incorporate body beast or p90x / x3 strength vids.
At 116.5 lbs at 5'4 I am in maintenance mode but aiming for a leaner body.
I do need to work on my macros though. Still figuring out what is the right mix for me. Meal prep is also a work in progress.

I'm starting week 4 of P90X3, which is a transition week, so today was Isometrix. Who knew you could work up a sweat just standing around? I had my usual breakfast, ate a fantastic lunch, then had a bean burrito for a snack on my way to help a friend with an emergency. I missed dinner because I was busy helping out, but didn't care. There were some fast food joints I could have stopped at on the way home at 9:30pm, but I really just wanted to wait and get something from home. As a person who used to panic at the prospect of missing a meal, and as a former fast food addict--this is huge for me! I feel like food is finally relinquishing it's control over me, and I am no longer a slave to my stomach.0

Yesterday was a rest day for me due to work.
Today it's down to the free weight section with my trainer to work on my dead lifts and squats. Tomorrow and Thursday possibly some insanity:Max 30 /kettlercise at home. Friday rest day before doing a 10K tough mudder on Saturday ☺️0 -
Day 1 was a wash for me. Still under the weather.
I also realized FAST that eating all natural food (part of my challenge) is quite impossible when I want to get my protein in (whey powder and protein snacks) without completely blowing my calorie allotment! Aide from that0 -

Hope you feel better! If you're interested my wife uses what I consider to be a decent Pea protein. Although I prefer whey I'll get you the name if you want it.

Betheriver... Gag. Lol. I've tried the pea. It's gross (no offense to anyone who likes it... I'm actually envious they do)... Ill stick with mine (pretty pure). I'll just have to alter my challenge0

All good. The one she uses doesn't taste too bad, but I agree whey usually tastes better. Movin' on. . .
