chest and back is probably my favorite one, took close to a month (4 sessions i guess) till i could complete the whole thing doing a respectable amount of reps in each exercise. i try to stay consistent and do 15-20 pushups each set instead of max reps. idk how those fools in the video can do 30+ every time
once you are a month or two in is when you switch to chest and shoulders which is fucking awesome. its nice not having to go from pushup to pull up to pushup to pull up
I hope it gets better, lol. I am so fucking sore today and I felt like I did nothing (3-7 reps each for the 30 minutes I lasted). Today is a bunch of jumping and moving around which is something I am more good at.
Also, scrambled eggs (I'm eating two yolks max. a day but plenty of whites) and ketchup sandwiches are amaaaazingly yummy with grilled chicken. I just gotta remember to eat within an hour after working out along with a protein shake.
Edit: Also, I notice others asking questions in this thread.. which is great because their questions are questions I also wonder too. Should just make this a fitness thread for everyone wanting to get more into shape!
Plyometrics .. kicks .. fucking .. aaaaass. *sweatpanthuffpuff*
For those that haven't done P90X and need some cardio, holy shit this .. works. I know my cardio is horrible and I only made it 35~ minutes in before I had to shut it off but this stuff buuuurns me.
I've never in my life yelled at the TV but I was yelling "Fuck you! nooo!" when I'd have to do Rock Star Jumps and some form of squat/jumpingjack hybrid.
And to whoever recommended P90X thank you, this is worth it lol.
Instead of making a new thread I figured I'd just hijack this one for my own purposes ;x.
Anyways~ I wanted to ask people here(mostly runners/cyclists) if they've read any good books that they'd recommend? I loved the book tyche mentioned once(Run less/faster) but some of the other books I've bought since then have sucked massive nuts(Sports Nutrition for Runners, Brain Training for runners, 5k to marathon training... to name a few).Mainly looking for books that would help me with running/cycling as I want to run a marathon at around 3:35ish while also take part in some road races . Amazon has a few books with decent reviews out there but figured I'd ask around before spending the money.
here are some I'm looking into:

Thanks!
I haven't read any nutritional books on running to be quite honest. I never ran to lose weight either, it was never really a goal for me. Eat healthy, stock up on carbs before the race, and replace everything that is taken out as soon as possible. Other books that are really good...
Road Racing for Serious Runners - Pfitz
Daniels' Running Formula - Jack Daniels
The Jack Daniels book comes recommended by just about every serious road racer on the planet.
Thanks for the recommendations. One question though, didn't find it on the overview/reviews... Do the training programs in Daniel's book include cross training or is it all running?

wat?
While it's true everyone's metabolism, necessary calorie intake, etc. is different.. are you stupid?
I mean seeeeriously? A double chin after 500 calories. If that were the case you'd have your own special reality series called "The Puerto Mexiwhatever Nutty Professor" or something.. isn't that the movie where he went from super fat > super skinny with some drugs? Yaaah.I have a severely damaged metabolism from years of psychotropic use (SSRIs, SNRIs, typical/atypical antipsychotics, mood stabilizers) and I personally have to restrict my caloric intake to less than 500 per day otherwise I gain fat, though I sometimes go sprees without eating anything (Sometimes weeks).
I live on vitamin and mineral supplements. A lot of people would say I have a good body, but it's a bitch to maintain. By gaining fat I mean fat. In one day if I eat over 500 calories, regardless of what kind it is (carbs, protein, saturated/unsaturated fat), it's converted into fat. Sometimes (though rarely) I can't take it anymore and splurge and treat myself to over 500 calories of food and the next day I have visible fat and a double chin. I workout more than most people do.

I don't think this is even possible.. Just in basic daily functions like breathing, walking, thinking, digestion, heartbeating you burn a minimum amount of calories. At my height and weight, it's like 1700 calories not including additional stuff like workouts and jogging.
Yes, daily functions (as you stated) for me are "suppose" to burn off 1,400~ calories minimum. Of course that changes daily but I think people in coma burn more calories than 500..
Clearly his medications shrunk him down to 1 foot 4 and hence 500 extra calories is a lot for him.
Yeah, maybe I should have separated it as basic functions/daily functions. Stuff you can't control like heatbeat and breathing (kinda HAVE to do that) and daily's like walking around, typing on BG forums, you don't need to do but it just happens anyway.
Man.. 1'4" must be rough! I could see how 500 calories a day could be too much.
