I posted up earlier in this thread about it as it was something that Josh suggested he used during his P90X - most people on here didnt rate it so I left it to see what the gains would be like without.

Legs and Back just done.
Really noticed a difference today, upped the weights I was using with the leg exercises a lot, and the amount of pull ups I can knock out without using a chair is about 10x that than when I started this whole thing

That's good that you are noticing the difference already on what you can lift etc. Have you noticed more physical changes since the 30 day pics?

Fair enough. If the first phase was anything to go by you should be seeing good results.
Now you are on the second phase do you prefer it to phase 1?

This looks pretty cool, but i work away from home mon-fri, do 12-14hr days, eating sarnies from supermarkets & eating out everynight and drinking beer.
Doubt it would be any good for me.
and i wonder why i have moobs, 23% body fat & 13stone
Wish i could fit something liek this into my life

I've not looked into the system fully, and there are quite a few pages, can you break it down for me please?
Is it possible to do when working with greedy beer monsters who expect to go out each night, eat & drink loads whilst watching football?

In short - no
The diet is a massive part of it, and unless you're happy going out and having some sort of meat with veg and not really any potatoes or stuff like that then you're fooked.
People do the workouts when travelling around with work, you can do them all with bands instead of weights and pull ups.

Meat & veg, is that the diet?
i can do that, no potatoes, is it like a carb free thing? so no pasta or rice?
I'm sure i could work something out with the diet tbh, not sure on the workout part, whats the best website to look at that lists everything i need to do, just a list, not with all the other info. Just so i can decide if its doable or not.

Oh, and things like pullups are ok, the majority of places i go have bars & things around, i can spend a bit doing pullups through the day, never thought about doing it before tbh.

Works are daily (6 days a week) and are basically...
Chest and back - press ups, pull ups, some dumbell weight work (can be exchanged for the bands)
Plyometrics - cardio workout. You just need space to jump around in
Shoulders and Arms - more dumbbell work (bands)
Yoga - just need space
Legs and Back - just space for the leg exercises, pull ups
Kenpo - cardio, just need space.
And thats it, the resistance ones change a little throughout the duration of it all but it all revolves around press ups, pull ups and dumbbell/band work.
As for the diet, its a high protein, low carb diet to start with, then the carbs get upped part way through.

Hmm, that sounds do-able.
Bands, what, like them things the lassies use at the gym and step classes?
Right, so next question, you got a link to the actual plan?
And are people taking suppliments?
Sorry if its all been covered, just hard sifting through 61 pages to get relevant info.

You'll need to get the whole thing sent to you, no idea who is doing it these days but Paul_J and Dan I think were. Or you can get the torrent and download it.
You basically follow the vids for the 60mins, then thats workout done.
As for supplements. I have protein shake (morning and after workout). L-Glutamine mixed with that. Omega 3 tablets and multi-vitamins. And finally a different type of protein shake before bed.
I also have a high caffine pre-workout shake but thats not a must.

So whats your basic daily intake foodwise?
So theres vids for each session, and some paperwork aswell?
I can't download anything at the minute, internet is broken, try to download or stream anything and it just stops after 30seconds. gayness.
Cheers for the info fella.

My basic (you can see the full details from most of us somewhere in this thread) diet is...
Breakfast - 2 weetabix, 1 shake
Snack - some sort of protein, often chicken
Lunch - meat + veg or salad
Pre-workout shake
Workout
Post-workout shake + banana
Dinner - meat + veg
Im starting to throw some more carbs in there though mostly in my dinner meal.

If i'm working away my diet is something along these lines...
Breakfast - Bowl of fruit, poached or scambled eggs on white toast
snack - cereal bar / wotsits / hula hoops / fruit
Lunch - sarnie (normally chicken salad / egg mayo / something like that) or a salad / pasta box, depending what supermarket is near, then a muller light, cereal bar, bag of the above crisps.
Dinner - king prawn jalfriezi, 2 chaphatis, sag aloo or aloo ghobi, 5 pints.
Getting a bike soon, so hoping to get out & about on that, and do a few walks each month, normally around 5-10miles.
Also the job is quite physical, our kit weighs 20kg, and for example, this week, there are 120 stairs to get to the platform, i would say i did 20 trips up, 20 down, possibly more, carrying the kit. My legs are my strong point i think.

You'd have to change parts of that diet to see anything on this workout - crisps, white bread, all those cereal bars

I tend to snack on cooked chicken. Just cook a shit load up with various seasonings on it then bag it up in 200-250 packages and eat that when hungry.
