@upcomingkca - good job bro! and you finally joined! @no_finish_line - Yeah, I can wrap the straps below my wrist so they're no in the way. Guess what I was able to do 10 pullups (in the first set) last night with the gloves on :) I find that the gloves helped me focus more on the mechanics of doing the pullups. The…

@cdorelien - great job and way to bring it!! Are you close to your goal weight/body fat%?

You have a few options - you could swap out 2-3 of the Insanity workout with his upper body weight training, preferably every other day. E.g. Day 1, 3, 5 can be the regular Insanity workout and day 2, 4, 6 can be the weight.

Great job! Dont forget to share your before-after pictures! oh you're going love Insanity, especially starting it right after p90x. You'll find the faster pace pretty exciting :)

I went to the local sports store and picked up a pair of lifting gloves. I didn't think I would need it or even know that it existed until lately. As I increased my press weight to 35lbs, the sweaty palms sometimes make the dumbbells hard to grip. Also, the bowflex dumbbells are wider than the regular weights which makes…

@pinkemi - Agreed with @lyndabyh! You've got to take measures and document your progress like taking pictures and stuff. A lot of time people don't see the scale moving but in reality they're losing fat and look much better. I took pictures like once a week when I was doing p90x and I'm glad that I did that because I could…

Great job!

Last night was Shoulders and Arms and ARX! What I've been doing lately is I upped my weights so that I can achieve muscle failure faster after sets of 8-10 reps aiming at building mass. I remember when I first started p90x, I was using 20 lbs for curls and presses and 15lbs for triceps. And I was doing 12-15 reps back…

Good job! Yes, keep pushing play and eating right!

It was fast and furious for me again last night. If you guys haven't tried it, I suggest that you try it! LOL. It's short but quite challenging because it's non-stop action, like Pure Cardio, but at a much faster pace.

That's awesome! Max Circuit was one of my favorites in the Insanity program. Anything "Plyo" is still my enemy :)

It was chest and back and ARX last night. I was trying to challenge myself to get to 10 pullups but unfortunately I still max'ed out at 7. I think I can do better than that. The BCAA has been helping me in terms of preventing (too much) soreness and give me a quick recovery for the next set but it doesn't really boost my…

Is that the one in the light green top? I heard that she actually had appeared in a pornography.

I'm really liking the schedule and result of my P90X INSANITY hybrid. I'm focusing more on P90X muscle building using heavier weights and max reps, and at the same time doing moderate INSANITY cardio. I also condensed the schedule from 6 days a week to a 5 days a week (kinda like in p90x2) so that my muscles can heal…

Actually you just submit your before and after pictures... no video needed.

Hey Bro - I'll send a message. You do need to submit from your computer.

@jaymesjourney - that's the spirit Jayme! What workout did you do before this? You've lost quite a bit a weight.

@ivydiaz1983, @bllecroy - welcome! @bear_28 - Great job! Agreed with @no_finish_line. It's easier to do it right after so that you can take a shower right after :) In p90x, I actually do the ab workout before the weight because I had more energy to complete all the ab moves earlier on. @mzootie - Great job! Have you seen…

congrats, way to go!

nice bro!!

Day 5 - I did the chest and back and arx last night. Was supposed to so legs and back according to the schedule but I figured my legs will be taken care off in the insanity workout.

@no_finish_line - yep, I heard that from Shaun T LOL... While I made a lot of noises doing Insanity, the loudest actually came from lifting weights (p90x) LOL @power_man77 - good for you for joining the challenge. it's human nature (or maybe just for guys) to compete :) @allysonvb - GOOD JOB! think of it as "just two more…

But hey he's a good role model in the fitness department. Hope you weren't looking for a boyfriend or husband :)

Identifying and overcoming the reason that made you fell off will help. What made you fell off the wagon?

Awesome! Eat what our body needs and not what we want makes a huge difference. I'm glad that you're feeling a positive change. Way to bring it!

Yesterday was day-3 of my p90x/insanity hybrid. I did shoulders and arms and ARX. My upper body was still sore from the day 1 workout but after the stretching and warmup, I was ready to go! I'm focusing more on building muscles in this round so I did about 8 reps for each moves. Increased the weight to 35lbs for the…

I figured that was the case. Often time people associate Insanity/asylum with fat burning. Thanks for checking!

That's good to know. So do you think one could actually gain muscle doing the upper body elite or is it still a cardio workout?

6 days a week. 3 days weights and 3 days cardio/stretch.

@No_Finish_Lin - I'm glad you enjoyed your new "gym" :) Do you have air conditioning going to your basement? Sorry, I'm a Texan and there's no basement here so I apologize for asking this stupid question LOL @falena - I have a feeling that you'll start to like pure cardio one of these days...or once you started month 2 :)…
