Not a trainer, but then I've also never paid for a trainer. I simply research and try a lot of things myself, along with taking a lot of free advice from MFP and other sources. So although I'm not a trainer I probably know more than a lot of trainers who do it because it's their job - I do it and learn it and soak up all…

Still under the weather. Had to cut legs/back a bit short yesterday as I really wasn't feeling up to it. I only skipped the last 10 minutes or so though and I got my ARX in. I reckon tonight will be a nice easy Kenpo session and hopefully I'll feel up to chest/shoulders/tri's tomorrow. I'll upload my Day 60 comparison pics…

Hey. I'm Jay, 30 from Manchester. Lost 32lbs to goal weight. Been maintaining (kinda) for about 3 months. Gained about 5 or so lbs of muscle and stripped off some fat to keep within the same weight range. In phase 3 of P90x with a goal completion date of 2nd December. Current focus is to get my six pack by Xmas! Longer…

Dammit! This has double posted because it didn't look like it posted to me before. Sorry, please ignore one or the other.... Jay

Sorry I aint been around guys. I've been sick as a dog this weekend. Me and the fiance are both sniffling away and feeling sorry for ourselves. Didn't even get out of PJ's yesterday. Suffice to say I didn't get any workouts in :( So tonight will be legs/back from Saturday. I'm not decided yet whether I'll track 1 day…

<< New picture added with my progress so far.

Drew - AWESOME!! If these are your day 60 results, we can only imagine what you're gonna be looking like on day 90!! Also thanks for your kind words dude. Much appreciated. I added another pic to my profile which shows my newly found abs a bit better. They aint ripped like Drew's yet but they're there under the ever…

Hey team. Shoulders and arms and ARX for day 59. I found this really tough today. Half way through the second round I was starting to flake and wondering if I'd get through it. I pushed through and completed it though somehow. Today I'm proud to say I can see my abs for the first time in my life. It aint the chiseled six…

The peoples eyebrow? Now that's a skill! :)

Oh! I'm also the BOMB at Excel! :) I can do this too... Took me a lot of bored days sitting around eating cherries to master. Jay

Hey team! Yesterday was Plyo for me. I'd say this is the workout that just never ever seems to get any easier! I felt just as tuckered out at the end as I did the very first time I did it about 9 weeks ago. I just don't understand... Mega mega burn from Plyo! Sorry I've not been as active as I could have been the last week…

Good stuff guys, keep em coming! I also act. I personally don't rate myself as a 'great' actor but I got some TV roles and my own IMDB page so I guess someone thought I could act at some point! ;~) Jay

Man, I'm so close to that 6 pack I can smell it!! Reckon they'll start to show through properly next week and then it's just a race to chisel them out as much as possible by Xmas. Jay

Chest & Back. Pushup count up to 180 from 168 at the end of phase 1. Unassisted pullups up from 1 to 10. Plus of course ARX, which I really lost my appetite for I think. Down to 356 today from 396 at the end of phase 2 and 412 for the session before that. Still feeling the burn but just can't seem to get the motivation to…

P90x recovery week finally over! Back to Ab Ripper tonight along with some other solid resistance work! :) Jay

Hey team X! Sorry I've been MIA for a few days. I have been bringing it though. Recovery week has been mostly 'meh' for me. Really looking forward to getting back to some heavy lifting tonight for the start of Phase 3!! This is it guys and gals, the home stretch! 5 weeks today we'll be DONE! Day 60 coming on Friday. Don't…

<< took a new picture. Reckon I'm not too far off seeing them come through. Coming out of 2nd recovery week of p90x, so should be able to kickstart the six pack progress with 4 more weeks of an ripper x! With regards rest days, I'd certainly take them, just make sure you hit em hard on your ab days! If you have to go every…

Day 54 (I think). I got x stretch in, but didn't manage core synergistics. CS and yoga tomorrow? Maybe, but I'm realistic so maybe not. I'll do yoga tomorrow for sure but may do the pickup core synergistics on Monday. Looking forward to revisiting the phase 1 workouts next week and bringing it hard for phase 3 to get some…

First time through any BB program. I just really want that 'P90X Grad' badge of honour! :) Jay

A calorie is a calorie. Strictly speaking it's a carb. Alcohol has other properties too however - it's a diuretic so it'll dehydrate you. Short term, you'll show a big loss on the scale the next morning due to having very little water in your body. Long term, you'll have to drink a decent amount of water for the next 5 or…

On day 53 here. Actually impressed I've come this far. Finishing up this recovery week and onto phase 3 next week! We've got a support group going on here that's open if anyone wants to jump in for mutual support. Search P90x Support Group. Jay

Hey y'all! Just thought I'd pop in from the other P90x group to throw out some support! Been flicking through this thread and I see some awesome folk bringing it! Canelly - Sweet day 30 shot! Keep it going! Mamareese - way to push through the ill time! Can be tough I know... Me, I'm on day 53. Looking forward to hitting…

Oh, P.S. <<<< New Pic! I tell you them abs aint far off! ;)

Hey all. Well today was meant to be Kenpo for me but I just couldn't face another Kenpo this week so I subbed it out. I've been wanting to give Cardio X a go for a while since I won't get to see it during the course of the classic program, so I pushed play on that one today. I gotta admit I was expecting more from this…

Umm... I think you've been lied to.. Protein as a substance contains 4 calories per gram. There's no getting around that. So 11 grams of pure protein by definition would contain 44 calories - and bacon almost certainly contains some fat too. Are you sure you read it right? MFP tracks this as 11g of protein and 60 calories…

Couple of reasons to take protein shakes: 1 - If you're struggling to meet your daily protein intake, it's a good hit of protein. However, my shake gives me 24g of protein and I can get that from 100g of chicken breast a whole lot cheaper and also slow acting (whey is fast acting, more on that below) 2 - If you do…

Bung em in like anything else.. Means less food for me and that can be tough if I'm on a cut but.. It's calories like any other so in they go... H

Search jays homemade protein flapjack and honey nut protein yoghurt (or some variation of that, can't recall exactly what I named the threads). Both pretty solid for quick snacks. Or just eat a bunch of chicken. I like cold chicken breast so I have no probes nailing 200g of chicken in one go. Cottage cheese is solid too.…

Yeah, I'll give these a go. Might modify it a bit though…

Hey team x. Missed my checkin yesterday. It was yoga & it was pretty uninspiring t'be fair. Today was core synergistics. Man I hate the face full of carpet fluff I get on this one. Still, no denying it's a helluva routine. Been thinking about the impending day 60. Its a week tomorrow I think. I reckon you're all gonna have…
