wow, look at all of these Mr. Universe wanna be's, maybe you guys need to lay off the building muscle mass and let your brain get some of the nutrients you take in. Because what you are not getting here is a simple point, p90x is not for everyone, but those who need motivation, and are afraid to go to a gym, it's a starting point. It doesn't promise to make you a muscle head, it just states it will get you into shape, if you follow their program.
Have i tried it, yes. Is it perfect, like some of you on this forum, NO. Does it work, to the average person, yes. It is a path to get people to commit to work out.
Look not everyone wants to be a muscle head, and have 40" arms, if that's you, all the power to you. But when someone comes to this forum looking for guidance, don't knock them because of what they have been doing, show them a path to get them where they want to be. Remember you were at some point shown how to get to where you are today by someone who helped you.
Best of luck to all of you.... enjoy your workouts and remember, there are always multiple paths to a goal, and not everyone needs to follow the same path, as not everyone is the same.
Another person showing their ignorance. You see, the thing that gets most of us agitated are people like you who think that their is some difference in getting in shape, and thus perpetuate the ignorance cycle. There is noone on this thread or any other that I know of that suggest everyone workout one way, or lift to be a "muscle head" or put on muscle for that matter. There are many threads here that talk about fat loss without even lifting. But oh you haven't read through any of this forum have you? The fact is that there are only a few things one can do, And most of them can't be combined. So every time someone like you comes in and ASSUMES that people here criticizing the system are suggesting that people only lift or eat in order to gain muscle or bulk up, then you are only helping to prove our point, and that is that ignorance costs people time and in many cases injury.
My points, along with many others, is that one can save time and money and more importantly pain/injury by unlearning traditional methodologies that obviously continue to perpetuate, thus leading the way for any body with some money and a commercial to garner sales from the ignorant. People watch fat loss reality shows and infomercials and think they need to come close to killing themselves or do some combination of movements or stretches and bends and lunges in order to get in shape. Meanwhile they could be getting in shape way easier then they probably realize but they have been missing the mark because media tells them they can have prolonged success by trying to combine goals because a water cut fitness model says they should. Does p90x work? Yes. Does Starving yourself and jogging work? yes. And my point is how many people are going to be doing either, or any extreme, for the next 20 years? Learn how the body works so you can know how to get in shape without compromising integrity of your joints or metabolic functions.
There are a few people who are extremely passionate about training and training others and helping them realize fitness goals and explaining whats optimal and safe. It's just like if you were an engine expert and you kept seeing someone telling another to add a little sugar to their gas because it helps with rpms. Can you do it? yes. Will the car run? yes. Do you as an expert know that it's bullshit and there are better ways? yes.
Who here has said anything about being or acting perfect? Or following one path? And yes there is more than one way to skin a cat, some or just better and safer than others.
I have a close friend that is getting ready to do p90x. More power to her, she needs something. She can't afford me, and she needs something to go by.
Again, my main problem now is with yahoo's like you who come in and want to talk a little smack, with some assumption that everyone is a gym rat or trying to be Ronnie Coleman because you're trying to make some point, but you're making up this assumption because you have a lack of fitness knowledge obviously. The fact is that the body is only trying to do one of three things at any given moment. Get Bigger, Smaller, or maintain the same. Optimal and safest approaches are gained by doing one at a time and cycling through them, and not basing their approach on trying to combine them.
And fitness programs shouldn't be judged by how fast one enters the kreb's cycle.
If you actually looked through this forum you would see people giving a multitude of fitness approaches, but I guarantee you the experienced folks are giving ideas of what is safe within the approach and what works based on metabolics, anatomy, and scientific research. You obviously haven't done that. You googled P90 probably and landed here, read a thread, and came across this one and made your first post. As a matter of fact, how did you get here? If you already have done the program? The fact is that it's so simple that people want to mystify it because so many people have been trying to do shit like p90 for the past decades. Trying to base their fat loss off of workout programs they won't do for more than a few months.
Welcome to the board, don't run off. But frankly I think you owe US, as a community, an apology. So man up. Or come back and talk some smack and say you won't return again like the other people did when they get, for lack of better words, owned.
as they obviously give you rage!! ). This is your site/forum - you need to be a bit more calmer with your answers. It's not giving bodybuilders a good image - you are basically living up to the stereotype of the roid rage bodybuilder!! Be adult about it, admit that P90X (or whatever people are talking about) is not for you and move on. Let aggressive people get on with it. No need to stoop down to their level!!
It's funny that you're talking all of this smack but clicking on my pic link and checking me out, in a sexual way. It's right at 8 inches and gets the job done. Ask your mom, after you clean up your room, then we'll go get you some ice cream if you're good, young immature boy. I could've been your dad but the German Shephard beat me to it! See ya later Gay boy. You wouldn't make it in the Navy Seals, "Don't ask, don't tell!"
