So, Jud and myself were talking about you guys and your p90x routines and stuff. I'm totally not in good enough shape to do it yet though, so I'm going to have to start out at the p90 level. We decided to do it together for support. We're going to do 1 month of the p90 level 1-2 routine, then 1 month of the p90 level 3-4 routine(advanced), then we will be going through the 90 day p90x routine. That is to say that we will be doing this for the next 5 months. Then, I will be signing up for some legitimate MMA training and maybe some more videos of me getting beat up will surface. Anybody who is down to do this with us, let us know and we'll have a little support network for getting in shape and kicking ass. 2009-07-23T15:30:52-04:00 98 2009-06-03T19:19:10-04:00 36161 false false 5409 997 1 2009-11-08T08:59:30-05:00 1354 That's right!

Yeah, nah it's just that it's so readily available and lots of people have access to it so we can do it together. And there are several emptees members already using it and getting results. This is like the first step for me, towards getting in good enough shape to start really training for MMA. Once I get the fat content down and get moving better I can start focusing on strength training more. I will say that lots of fighters do things like pullups and pushups because it works entire muscle groups, much like you do in actual combat. So it's not like they're selling snake-oil here. You can work out to a program or you can not work out to a program. Do what you're comfortable with. 36161 Post 2009-06-03T22:19:45-04:00 1045571 997 2009-06-03T22:19:45-04:00 <img src="http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww261/GrapheinDesign/Approved.gif" /> 36161 Post 2009-06-03T22:23:45-04:00 1045611 10311 2009-06-03T22:23:45-04:00 <img src="http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr283/THEKINGBETWEEN/gotime.gif" border="0" alt="GOTIME Pictures, Images and Photos"/></a> Best of luck to you two!

I hope you guys weren't suckered into actually paying for the program, but I think my point remains valid. Also from what I've seen of the program, there seems to be an emphasis on doing dumbbell exercises for ridiculous reps with little rest in between. I mean, that's going to make you awesome at lifting dumbbells repeatedly, but not much else as far as real-world strength goes. But on a positive note, good for you guys for trying.

Is the P90 you are using the ooold one? I think I have it and I would be down. I'm 6'3 & weigh probably 310 lbs and really want to get back to my High School weight (201) I would be down to do it with you guys and take before and after shots. I have pneumonia right now but it should clear in a week or so, can I pick up with you guys then? Also just want to mention that 8 min abs, Tae Bo & P90 really do work. 8 Min Abs - if you were to do that solid for 60 days you would have a dramatic change in definition. Tae bo - will drop your waist size in 2 weeks and level your vitals almost immediately. P90 - leaves you sore but as you do it it distributes so well in your entire body and that is why it works :) 36161 Post 2009-06-03T23:29:07-04:00 1046151 13561 2009-06-03T23:29:07-04:00 We are starting out with the old p90, and you are more than welcome to join us. 36161 Post 2009-06-03T23:33:21-04:00 1046171 997 2009-06-03T23:33:21-04:00 <blockquote><cite>heavyprints said:</cite> We are starting out with the old p90, and you are more than welcome to join us.</blockquote> Sweet dude :) I will start when this Pneumonia clears!

For p90x you need some other stuff, it's not terribly expensive though. If you want to make your own routine that's fine, we are not looking to do that. 36161 Post 2009-06-04T02:57:35-04:00 1047561 997 2009-06-04T02:57:35-04:00 Nono I got that, but I was just stating.
