Bulk: Back was on tap for today. I like this workout, I went kind of light with the weights today to get a feel for the workout and focus on form because it is the first time doing this one for me. It went well, I really feel that I nailed it and I was able to make sure to use just my back for the moves.

So it was time to attack Legs again today, but this time the leg workout was a little different. To my surprise it was not as bad doing the "bulk - legs" workout as it was doing the "build - leg" workout, not sure why but I was able to handle the abuse Sagi put on my legs today. For that I am very glad because I don't want…

Today was the first day of the "bulk" phase for me. Right out of the gate I know it was going to be a muscle pumping workout. This is the first time doing progressive sets also, which can kill. Up until now it was 15 reps then 12 reps with a heavier weight, then 8 with even heavier and sometimes another 8 with a bit…

Awesome job bull! It is finally nice to have a program that show what to eat. I would have never thought that I needed to eat as much fruit and veggies as this plan suggests. I would have thought it was all protein and carbs.

Shoulders and Beast Abs today. I felt very good during this one today, using the focus approach again as next week is bulk phase and I want to make sure I am performing every move correctly then I will bump up the weight as needed like this first phase. Beast Abs went well to as I imagined that I could see my abs and back…

Had a much better workout yesterday for Back & Bis. Felt the pump for sure and I was able to complete each set while keeping good form in mind.

I am using dumbbells and a bench, also a pull up bar. The program also includes an ez curl bar but there is the option of using dumbbells instead, and if you don't have a bench you can use a stability ball. Body Beast does seem to be targeted toward men but I see that many women are also doing the program. It is not gender…

So today was legs and I have to admit that I don't feel that I brought it as much as I could have. I felt slow, sluggish and weak for this workout, I was able to come close to most of my progress as far as weights but I just feel like this wasn't one of my better workouts. Hoping to not have anymore days like today.

Today - Back & Bis and I feel that I am still on goal by making myself increase weights every time the same workout comes around again. I made the chili that is in the nutrition guide for Body Beast and I absolutely love this recipe! Honestly it is probably one of the best chili recipes I have tried.

Legs workout in the books yesterday (forgot to post) and I tried to be aggressive with this workout because as I have said my legs are my weak point, so for bulgarian squats I increased my weights way above the previous 2 workouts, unbelievably I probably could have done even more on the 8 reps, maybe I was just holding…

I had another awesome workout today. During chest and tris I felt as though I had an unlimited amount of energy and I gave it all to my workout today. I was very happy with today's effort and with great days like this I love this workout even more.

What an awesome day today was! It was shoulders and I improved quite a bit from the first time. I was able to up my weights by almost double from the first time. I am very happy with today's workout, and all though tomorrow is a rest day I kind of wish it wasn't so I could keep moving forward and progressing like I was…

Today was the second time for Back & Biceps. I was pretty happy with today's workout because I upped my weights from the last time by quite a bit now that I know what this workout is all about. Also think I am getting the nutrition pretty close to where I want it so its a good day!

Had "Legs" again today and I don't know what it is with my legs, but my thighs get so weak during any extended work with them. My calves can take just about anything and just get tight and "worked", but my thighs just burn and make me feel like giving in too early so I have to push to reach each rep goal. This is defiantly…

Today was the second go around and I noticed I was able to up my weight because I had done the workout once and knew what was going on and what was coming. So I feel I gave it my all today during chest and tris.

There is no reason why women can't do it, there are many women on this site that weight lift which this program is heavy with. I think it would be a great program for anyone who is looking to get into or improve their weight lifting routine. I am loving Body Beast because I wanted something that had a majority of weight…

Ok so today I had Beast Cardio and Abs. Ya, the cardio was intense. I think that from the beginning until the end my heart rate was up which I did not expect. The sweat was pouring this morning for sure - great workout.

Thank you! This is a brand new program just released. Today was all shoulders, 45 mins. of nothing but shoulders - wow, my traps are on fire! I don't think I have ever worked my shoulders as much as I did with this workout which is awesome.

Day 3 was back and biceps. Legs are sore from the previous day. There was more for the back than biceps in this workout.

Day 2 brought "Legs" the workout I had feared the most but it wasn't as bad as I had thought. Ya my legs were jelly afterwards and I know they will be sore tomorrow but I was able to complete each set and almost each rep. Next is back and biceps, can't wait for that one.

I completed the first day today of Body Beast which was chest and tris, it was awesome! You know you have reached muscle failure when that quiver comes over those areas of the body that you worked and you can barely complete the movement. This is how completing each set is supposed to feel. I got a good idea of the weights…

I know right!

Awesome game so far and I know I'm a little behind but just started act 2. How awesome was the cut scene with Tyrael?!?

Best of luck on your goal of gaining. I know what its like to not be able to gain weight easily. I finally had success when I shot for around 3000 cals. a day. I am 5' 8" and my starting weight was around 145 lbs. After about 3 months of close to 3000 cals. a day, limited cardio and reduced reps during weight training…

I just received an invite for the beta testing!! It seems that blizzard is trying to get as many people in as possible to test the servers. Has anyone else gotten an invite?

@mattkosc great idea!

Ok, I started the last phase this week, so that includes P.A.P. upper and lower. Wow! Tony shows no mercy here, it's one move after another after another, you definitely keep your heart rate up. Has anyone finished P90X2 yet? How were your results, and what are your thoughts of 2? As I am nearing the end, I like the…

Wow!! You got great results from P90X! Congrats man. What are your thoughts on X2 so far?

I have started a "recovery week" this week for P90X2. I want to make sure that I bring it strong the last phase coming up, and I want to make sure that I am resting my body enough after the first two phases. Can't wait tho to try the last phase especially the p.a.p.!

I started out with just 2 - 10lbs dumbbells and 2 - 15lbs dumbbells, my wife used the resistance bands, and some light dumbbells. Also the pull-up bar like you said and a yoga mat. After I completed my first 90 days I started thinking about additional weight and went for the bowflex select tech. Best of luck!
