Man i'm with you on the pull ups even when I was like 220 I could only do like 9 pull ups haha I'm so excited to start p90x with all if you guys

I've done AbRipper a couple of times and got up at 6am on Tuesday so I could try out Kenpo. Wanted to do a test run and make sure I could get up that early because the morning will by my only available time for P90X.

AbRipper is tough but fun, except for fifer scissors. You'll see what I mean. And the horse stance in Kenpo is hard the next day on your legs.

Been doing the same thing this week by eating junk food to get it out of the way. Really gonna miss milk shakes.

The hardest part for me will definitely be not drinking. Last Saturday was my last drink. When Jan. 31 rolls around it will be 15 weeks without a drink if I can make it. I plan on taking any bets against people who think I won't make it though.

Yea I'll be doing the same and getting all the junkfood and beer cravings of my system this weekend. I'll be at the Browns Packers game on Sunday, looking forward to the beers and hotdogs and the Browns making fools of themselves. I'm a Packers fan and it should be an easy win for us so hopefully the Browns fans don't give me too much grief.

Man I'm seriously a huge browns fan and I'm consideing not watching football anymore because I don't believe in switching teams but Eric mangini has done so awful and the browns are falling apart like none other haha I'm just venting about my browns frustration haha

The Brownies are my second favorite team for sure. I still hope they'll pull it together, I was praying for some miracle that they would have beat the steelers last week, hate the steelers. Atleast they got rid of Edwards, that guy was a cancer. I think Anderson's had his chance these past couple games and done nothing, they need to hand the reigns over to Quinn.

I still haven't received my P90X yet. It better come next week or I'm going to be SOL startin with you guys.

Just a friendly nudge from your moderator...

Football is a great sport. But this is a forum for P90X. If you'd like to discuss football it would be best to take it outside the forum...that way we can focus on the objective of this forum.

Thanks,

Kevin

Does that mean we can still talk about basketball?

Has anybody else given any of the workouts a test run? Thinking about trying Plyometrix tomorrow morning.

I went to Dicks today to get a scale that measures weight and body fat. I also picked up some sweet push up handles to take pressure off my wrist.

I told the guy I needed this because I was starting P90x. He laughed.

Told me that him and his buddies tried it and couldn't make it through 1 week. They are triathletes he said!!!! Boy did this guy scare me!!! Hopefully I can show him up. He recommended the handles for push ups.

Unfortunately, I will be going to Pinehurst for the next week for the national amateur team championships and won't be able to practice any of the exercises. Looks like I am going to have to go into it blind. I probably won't be posting much either for the next week or so until Nov 2nd.

AROD - I'd give beachbody a shout cause my P90x came in a week.

PS I also bought some NitroTech Protein Bars. They are low in carbs/sugars and high protein. Perfect for Phase 1!!!

Its all about mindset man , once you decide to do it then it's done If you believe in yourself trust me just stay motivated and you can't fail

I was informed today my p90x won't be here until the 26th so I think I'm going to start jogging and doing pushups until it comes in

Kevin, always the motivator, my hero.

I think I'll have to make a run to Dicks myself and get a scale and pushup handles. How much do the NitroTech protein bars run? I just got notice that my P90X shipped yesterday evening so I should get it sometime next week. I'm def. not going to have the time for a practice run.

I tried out the pull-up bar... I thought it was going to break at first but it held me while I did a couple pullups. I don't like how it sits right against the door frame, I think I'm going to grab a couple foam pads from work to put between the bar and the door frame.

P90X shipped to me from Grove City which is right outside of Columbus. You might get it on Monday or Tuesday and have time to try a few workouts.

Do you guys mind having a female in your 2 Nov start group? I just got mine on yesterday and plan to use next week to get my self together to start on the following Monday. I will start either way, but, just thought it would be helpful to start with a "support group."

Your thoughts...

What a crazy question I think I speak for everyone when I say we all welcome you to join I just started this forum about a week ago and I check it daily you will get a lot of good tips and motivation here.

Welcome aboard. Which version of P90X are you planning on doing?

I plan to do the classic version. I'm also in the military, so, there will be some days where I will do cardio also in the mornings before I report to work. So, I guess you can say classic with a "doubles twist" to it.

FYI....I am 39 years old, have a newborn (10 weeks old), and weight 183lbs. My pre-pregnancy weight was 165lbs, but, I want to get down between 150-155lbs. I am confident that I achieve my goals by sticking to the plan and a little motivation from the group would be extremely helpful as well.

Hey guys...

I will also be starting Nov 2nd, so I'd love to join you guys. A guy at work told me he was starting P90x, and he and I convinced 5 other people to hop on the train with us starting next Monday.

I'm 6'1 and I weigh about 213 (down from 250 about 2 yrs ago). I am in decent shape, and have lifted off and on for the last 6-8 months. I have a 1 year old, and that has gotten me way off track with my fitness. Hoping P90x will set me straight. My goal is to lose a few inches off my waist, cut some fat, and get my weight down to about 185 190. May take a couple go arounds, but I'm in it for the long haul.

I already have all my stuff, including a mat, bands, and pullup bar, and I'm taking my fit test Wednesday to avoid any leftover soreness starting Monday.

I'm really looking forward to getting started, and I wish all you guys the best of luck!

Ill be starting on the second myself, 5'6" 206. All the support and motivation on here ill be needing.

thanks in advance
