Power 90 is pretty much targeted to those who are out of shape and want to drop some weight quickly. It involves aerobics and light weights and a strict diet.

I intend to use Power 90 to get into decent enough aerobic shape to tackle P90X (Power 90 X). P90X is a whole 'nother monster. It is designed to rip your body. I already follow the P90X diet, just gotta get into the workout routine and vastly increase my protein intake.

Professional football players use P90X daily. Look for me to be a wideout for the Cowboys soon.

Yup, look for me in your fantasy league lol

 

Went 5 days this week, lifted 4, swam all 5, ate right and dropped another 10. Hittin it hard again this week and early next week, and takin a little break for xmas, then again for new years, would like to be down 10 more after new years. Plan on going skiing xmas eve and new years eve and that will be an excellent workout.

 

Double post

 

10 in one week is SERIOUS progress. Keep up the good work!

 

Good job guys! Sounds like we're all doing pretty good so far. Just have to keep it up!

Day 15

Weighed in again today, this time at 164 ½, about 3 ½ pounds lighter than last week. Didn't feel like going, but I went to the gym this morning for 10 minutes of biking to warm up, then chest and tricep day.

I wanted to go with a different theme for today's exercise examples.

3 sets of 10 shoulder rotations:


3 sets of 6 bench press on the smith machine:


3 sets of 8 machine bench press:


3 sets of 8 chest fly:


3 sets of 10 dips:


Finally, 3 sets of 10 tricep pull downs:


Feeling pretty good!

Nice job man... did another 1:40 minutes or so myself

 

I'm going to work out in about an hour. Jumping right back onto the program I was doing when I stopped. Will post up how it goes later. I'm worried about how much strength I've lost.

 

Awesome job NCSU. Why dont we do another contest like last time, with money involved?

 

I just got my butt kicked. Most of my strength is gone and I have little to no endurance. Guess that's what happens when you go a few months without training. Hoping it will come back soon. Was going to keep on my old workout but it's going to be tough just getting back into it. May be switching it up to 5x5 and gain some strength back.

Had to take the day off today, rode in my moms tahoe all day saturday and sat on bleachers for 3 hrs and threw my back outta whack. Couldn't even bend over this morning, had to take the day off of work, went to the chiro, hoping to be back at it tmr

 

Nice job guys

 

Just weighed myself a half hour ago... 178

 

I weigh 156 and I'm 5'10".

 

I'm 6'

 

Ok, i'll throw my lard-$%^ under the bus.. I try and go to the gym 4-5x a week. Went last night, warmed up for 5 minutes on the treadmill at 3.7 mph, 2.0 incline. Then, ran at 9.0 mph for 1 minute, backed it down and walked at 3.6 for 2 minutes, then ran at 9.6 mph for 1 minute, back down, did this for 12 minutes. Then, started with dumbell press, flat. First set with 40 lbs, did 10 reps, moved to 55 lbs, did 3 sets of 8 reps. Moved to barbel bench press, 3 sets, 8 reps, using 145 lbs. Next up was squats, using 225 lbs, 3 sets, 8 reps. Moved to calf raises, 155 lbs, 3 sets, 8 reps. Last, i tried a new ab workout i saw on Menshealth.. lie flat on your back, i took a 8lb medicine ball in my hands, stretched out over my head. Bring your legs up straight and bring your arms up straight, curling up at your abs and meet the ball with your feet. Kinda hard to describe, even harder to do. I think it may be called a jack knife? Any way, only made 2 sets of 9 reps, the last few were followed by horrible noises coming from me.. Total time in gym was 45 minutes. Final weigh-in was 184. Shooting for about 174...

Merry Christmas!
