I'm on day 3 of my first go through of P90X. It is kicking my ass. I'm so sore. I'm sore in places I didn't know I could be sore in. But I have my eye on the goal and will not quit.

Hey buddy, I'm right there with you.

This is my second time around (and round 1 gave me great results) and I'm also on Day 3. Last month I did the first three weeks, only to binge for a week at the beach, so I'm starting over from day 1.

Are you following the diet too?
 
i never believed in diets... eat what ever you want, workout accordingly and you'll be fit.

probably, but till then i'll follow my guidelines hahah. :rock

Yea, 1 died in Cali (77 ill it's been happening since March), cook your meat ppl! I think they said make sure to cook it above 130 degrees or something.

Anyways, time to get up and do some shoulders and tri's!!!!

be back in a few! :hi5:

All poultry should be cooked to at least 165. Dark meat on turkey and chicken should be cooked to 170. Ground turkey is full of things other than just turkey meat....very scary to see what else gets tossed in there.
 
Ski and everyone else in this thread who are watching what they eat..you should all check out this cookbook...some really good recipes and most are pretty easy to make. I've lost 25 pounds in 2 months by cutting back on beer/wine, eating healthier and biking 30 mins/10 miles a day.

One of the things we make from it pretty much every other week is stuffed peppers with 96% lean beef and brown rice...low in calories but high in nutrition...i make them on sunday then warm them in over or out on the grill til they come up to temp.

Ski when you get a chance can you post some opinions on what you believe to be the top protein powders? I've been on the GNC Wheybolic Extreme 60 for about 3 months now and I'm getting burned out on it, but I can't really find anything that's got a similar profile for the money.

So something with these ratios? I'm thinking ISOPURE but not sure if their price range has increased....

Looks like the ISOPURE might be closest the those ratios, it might be a little more expensive though without the Gold Card discount.

I would offer Solution 5 from Scivation but they discontinued it in 2010 for the product to be reformulated, it's one of the best veggies/fruits MRP's out there on the market not sure why Marc Lobliner decided to take it off. I think you can still find them at Vitamin Shoppe though.
 
Nice to see this thread active again. Today is my 9 month anniversary since the neck injury and needless to say, not a damn thing has changed.

It's very frustrating to not be able to workout the way I want but the injury has taught me other ways to stay healthy mostly. Luckily my eating habits were good before the injury so I've maybe gained 8 - 10 lbs while being laid up.

As for workouts, I have been jogging lightly (about 10 miles a week) and participating in Yoga. This weekend I'm going to try resistance Yoga where you use resistance bands with Yoga. It should be interesting to say the least.

Back to the neck, I just had an EMG the other day and had no idea what to expect. Let's just say it felt like a car battery, jumper cables, a sponge, and water was used for the testing. Being electrocuted and jabbed with sharp objects constantly is not fun at all. But it had to be done so that the Dr. can determine if I get a bionic neck or not.
 
What about the aminos in the Wheybolic? Is that just fluff for a protein because I can't find anything else that has a similar profile of protein and added bcaas or do you think it's best to buy some regular whey and do the aminos separate?

Also have you ever tried animal pak as a multi?

I looked at that and the Arginine, Leucine, etc... is through the roof. I take aminos separately because there's a difference in absorption (supposedly studied to be slowly absorb and less of a percentage into the muscle) once it's combine with whey protein. (well I've quit MRP since 2009, so it's no worries for me on that end)

I have taking animal pak but if you are taking any minerals separately watch out for the amount of Zinc and Mag or Vitamin B complex, those extra doses can make the tummy ill. :monkey4
