Huge Beast Day 30/90 Bulk Back: Had a good workout today. Weights stayed the same on some and went up on some. I like this workout, quick and to the point. Nutrition: Christmas day, so I won't be keeping real close track not eating all the best foods. Will still have my supplements though. Water, 6 glasses so far (3:00 PM)…

Body Beast Day 29/90 jar41yo6m: Nice progress on your measurements. I take mine tomorrow after Day 30. Hope to see some improvement as well. I am sure I will since I can visually see a difference in the way I look. Shawn: No worries, do your best and forget the rest!…

Huge Beast Day 27/90 Water A: been drinking it all day. It is the only thing I have (besides black coffee) Nutrition, B. Had relatives over to celebrate Christmas. Had a sensible lunch but I am sure macros won't be where they need to be at the end of the day. Workout A: Was supposed to be a rest day, but I have a full…

Body Beast Day 26/90 Nutrition A 25/50/25 right on goal for calories Water A Workout A. Bulk Arms. It was a good workout. Really felt like I got a good pump. Tomorrow is supposed to be rest day, but I have a busy day Sunday so I think I will pull workout from Sunday forward and do it tomorrow.

Melatonin is a natural hormone made by your body's pineal (pih-knee-uhl) gland. This is a pea-sized gland located just above the middle of the brain. During the day the pineal is inactive. When the sun goes down and darkness occurs, the pineal is "turned on" by the SCN and begins to actively produce melatonin, which is…

ar41yo6m: those Bulgarian squats are KILLER, Don't miss them at all! Shawn: Nice job on the leg workout, it ain't easy. Huge Beast Day 24 and 25 check-in Checking in for yesterday and today Day 24 Bulk Back: Had a good workout I'd give myself an A- Nutrition was good until about 8:00 then I decided the beer in the fridge…

I don't go to the gym. I have my workout room at home with a Bowflex and elliptical. I also have free weights. I have done P90X and currently doing Body Beast (free weights). It is much easier for me to find the time to workout in my home than to get prepared and drive to a gym. Just a thought.

Huge Beast Day 23/90 Water A, 10 glasses and counting Nutrition A: 25/51/24 (p/c/f) which is very close to goal of 25/50/25. Very close to total calories as well. Workout A- First time through on these DVDs so I am guessing at the weights to start with. Will be able to push a little harder the next time through now that I…

Hang in there jar41y06m; the holidays are a busy time for us all. Try and pack some protein bars and bottled water. Maybe some beef jerkey, peanuts, cashews as healthy alternatives. ****************************************************************************************************************************** Huge Beast Day…

Keep pushing through it Shawn, nice to get your workout in. Sometimes it is a struggle, but I always feel better when I get it done, I am sure you do too ***************************************************************************************************************** Huge Beast Day 21/90 Nutrition: B; Ate well for…

I have gotten this too. As a guy, it is particularly annoying because I hear it as skinny. I don't want to be skinny, I want to be athletic, muscular, cut, in great shape maybe, but not skinny. I have been working out steadily now for 3 years, doing cardio and resistance training. I recently completed P90X and now have…

Huge Beast, Day 20/90 Water B, 7 glasses so far, will be drinking more. Should get to an A by end of evening Nutrition, A. Hit macros spot on 25/50/25 and calories right near target. Nice to see I have put on 3 pounds in the three weeks I have been doing body beast. Exactly what I am looking for. Workout A. Played 18 holes…

Huge Beast Day 19/90 Water B, didn't drink enough today, probably just 8 glasses Workout A: Build Back and Biceps: Didn't feel like working out again, but once I got going I was fine and had a really great workout. Nutrition C. Had to take a quick shower and drive to the hospital right after my workout to visit wife's mom…

Ya, how did that work out for you? Luckily my wife works out as well and understands that I don't want to stop and chat while I am pushing the weights. Does your wife work out?

40/40/20 is fine. That is actually how they want you to eat in phase 2. Just remember that you don't eat back your exercise calories from P90X. Now, if you are also running half marathons on your P90X days, you will need to eat back THOSE calories. We have a great P90X/Insanity support group, check it out at:…

Body Beast Huge Beast Day 18/90 Nutrition A+ 25/50/25 right on calorie goal. Weighed today and have put on 3 pounds in 3 weeks! (that is a good thing for me) That is good since my body fat as measured by calipers is the same Water A, drinking plenty Workout Build Legs. The hardest workout of the group I think. SO did not…

Glad to see you are still checking in. It does help to know that other people are in this with me. Glad my crappy schedule can inspire you, LOL. I have another week then I will be into the Bulk DVDs. I like the program so far. Interested to see where it takes me.

Huge Beast Day 17/90 Water A, 9 eight ounce glasses and still drinking. Nutrition A-. 26/49/25 6 calories over goal Workout: Build Chest and Tris. Weights stayed the same, but I am pushing myself with these weights. Working on form and the negative. Nice to be back working out after a rest day yesterday. On a side note, I…

Body Beast day 16/90 Rest Day Felt kind of bored today with no workout. Guess you have to let the body recover though. Water B, didn't drink as much as normal Nutrition C Macro goal is 25/50/25 P/C/F; 24/46/30 and 47 calories under. Worked midshift last night then slept thru part of the day, then back awake to shift my…

Jar41yo6m: Nice improvement with the numbers, hope to have some good improvement as well when I finish my first month. I can visually see the differences in my muscles, we will see what the numbers reflect.…

Brushing my hair today just after I got out of the shower, I noticed that I could finally see the last set of abdominals to make it a six-pack. I have been working hard and eating right for over 6 months now, with that being my goal.

@Shawn: Not going to over-do it with the beer, but that is my time with my buddies and going to have a couple on the weekends. None through the week though. I do pack a protein bar and a banana to snack on while I am out there. Huge Beast Day 14/90 Build Back and Biceps Nutrition too early to tell. My boss called and they…

Body Beast Huge Beast Day 13/90 Early check in. Going out of town today for a stay-cation with my wife Water, Good so far. Will give myself a B, won't drink too much more today. Nutrition, too early to tell, but it won't be great. Skipped lunch (on the golf course) got home and had to do my workout shower and get on the…

Hospital food is the worst, tastes so bland. Sorry to hear you have a lot going on and it is impacting your workouts. Stick with it and keep checking in here, we'll keep you motivated! Shawn: what weight on you doing with those Monster biceps of yours? Do they even make dumbbells large enough to give you a workout? What…

Body Beast Day 10/90 No workout today. I got very dizzy at work and had to have my wife pick me up and drive me to doctor. Not sure why I am dizzy. Possible vertigo from fluid in ears. Unable to work out tonight. Hope to be better tomorrow after some sinus medication and rest. Water C Nutrition B- ate healthy but unable to…

Every morning I see a REALLY overwieght man walking slowly when I am on my way to work. I don't think, "wow that guy is really fat" I think "Good for him, he is concerned about his health and he is doing something about it" Don't worry if someone would think you look heavy, those people aren't worthy of your concern. Do…

IMO you are not eating enough. You are burning 500-600 claories a day above what you need for TDEE. I read a medical article once on here (I'll try and find it tonight when I get off work and send it to you) Basically it explained why if you fail to eat enough calories that you will not lose weight. The fix? Eat more…

pgp90xer: Working out at 4:30 am, impressive dedication! Are you doing 25/50/25 P/C/F ? That is a lot of carbs. I struggle getting enough fat. Shawn: Nice job getting Monday's workout in. Take care of that shoulder, don't want an injury to derail your efforts. Huge Beast Day 9/90 (10% done LOL) Back and Biceps. Workout A:…
