My favorite part is the cocky guy, Brook Jones. Typical reason a lot of people don't go to the gym. Then again, he is just covering for having the name "Brook".
Your right CowboyTD. If felt bad after posting that comment. That was a pretty strong accusation I made against a guy that has made a life out of the "natural" body building world. And I admit I have zero evidence of steroid use. Not even a rumour. I have just seen a lot of pics of him on the web and he is a beast! Props to him!!
One of the biggest probs with programs like p90x is loss of muscle alongwith loss of fat. Without muscle you will most likely gain your fat back and not your muscle! Ps nice reporting. I would have like to have seen you really work on the bodybuilder though. He's obviously on steroids to be that old and that muscular. Our bodys don't produce enough testosterone at that age (late 40s to mid 50s?) to maintain that much muscle.
@SilverStar40 He has actually been profiled as one of the Natural Body Builders, meaning he doesn't use steroids. He says he has worked to get that body for over 30 years. He says that just because someone is big, doesn't mean they are on roids, it all depends on how fast they got their results. I don't know all the details, but he is a pretty big name in body building.
Good job on the story man... P90x is all the rage right now... I wonder if anyone remembers the original Cybergenics? It was a huge money maker back in the late 80's/early 90's.
I've started and stopped this program many times because of muscle soreness and sometimes personal reasons. I need to get started on it and stay on it. It works though. No doubt about it.
p90x is a good system but it's just another marketing ploy. they try to get you to buy their supplements and beachbody products and claim you only need a pair of dumbbells and a pull up bar. but after awhile you'll get used to a certain weight and need to bring it up a notch. the answer isn't doing more reps it's increasing the weight. i have to admit though that i'm not against people getting in shape by whatever means possible. i'm sick of seeing 500lb people on scooters.
Haha what's with the random manly chick and the stacks of weight at the end? Lol, anyways good reporting. I'm considering getting these DVDs so it was good to hear from people from both sides
P90X seems like it's marketed to the corporate exec or career guy who has very little free time to go to the gym. Plus, from what I understand it's not for people who never workout. It's for guys who took time off from working out and need to lose a few lbs.
@onikuno I actually got the program after spring break. I hit it hard for about 5 weeks but once summer classes started I took a break (just an excuse). But during that time i dropped 10 pounds. I just started it again Monday, so hopefully I will finish it this time, if you played sports in high school, the workouts or nothing new, but it does get you moving, i like it.
@CowboyTD Man, ever since I left the army I've been so lazy. I used to run all the time (hated it). I hated it so much I was so happy that I wasn't forced to anymore. But man I need to start doing something again. I don't want to be winded just walking around the State Fair in a few months.
@onikuno it'll work for most people as long as they stay motivated although that's difficult to do in a comfy setting like a living room. I've never been big on working out but I'm still fairly active. First time I did Ab Ripper X it absolutely destroyed my abs. Felt amazing. I need to get back into P90x soon but I'd definitely recommend it to anyone.
Well of course a trainer isn't going to like p90x, it takes away potential clients!

@CowboyTD Not really a big name, and the WBBF doesn't drug test so it's impossible to know if he's clean
