One of the reasons I love the weekends

One of the reasons why I love the weekends. I have time to make this. One packet Chocolate Shakeology, One scoop Optimum Nutrtition Cookies & Cream Whey protein, 1/2 tbsp raw peanut buttet, 1/4 cup oats, 1 cup watermelon, 1 cup strawberries,  1/4 cup fat free milk, 1-2 cups coffee, 5g gnc glutamine and two handfuls of ice. It makes enough for two shakers. I drink one before my morning Saturday Interval sprints and the rest afterwards which I add some ice and blind it again or I save it before I go to my local Mobile Alabama Fit Club where we do P90X, Insanity, Turbo Fire and/or Rev Abs. I think I workout just so I can drink a ton of this stuff.

Gaining Mass with P90X

I sent this article out to a friend and though I should share it.
Gaining Mass with P90X: http://bit.ly/hG7RD5
I also like to cycle between strength and hypertrophy(getting the muscles BIG!). I do 12 rep maxes one week then the next week 8 rep maxs. The 12 rep max helps build endurance/strength and the 8 rep maxes help with hypertrophy/strength. The 12 reps helps to set up the 8 reps the following week. You will vary the weight. So on the 12 reps you go lower weight and the 8 reps you go higher. So if your doing 10lbs on the 12reps, try 15lbs on the 8 reps. I found that this help keep my gains much smoother and lessoned possible injury by laying a foundation for strength and endurance while still going for hypertrophy.

Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.

Week 5 Begins - P90x Insanity Weight Lifting Hybrid Program

Going into week 5 now. This is the rest week for INSANITY. After doing the Core Cardio & Balance I will say that it's not much of a rest. I had given the Core Cardio a level 1 for intenisty, but after doing it changed it to a level 3. I then re-arranged the week once I knew of the intensity level. I like the idea of HIIT as a fat burner. It's short intervals that won't eat up as much muscle as long straight cardio workouts. I should have used more INSANITY Plyometric Circuit than Pure Cardio. Pure Cardio has no breaks so you're just put the stress on the muscles longer, like it's name implies, it's pure cardio. Plyometric Circuit has rest periods but still burns as many calories if not more than pure cardio. It has the feel of HIIT workouts but is a MAX Interval routine. With this in mind, I will definetly have more MAX Interval based cardio going forward.
I took out 3 of the INSANITY Core Cardio routines, and P90X Kenp-X. Trying to stick with MAX Interval or Interval type cardio.

Overall Report:
My overall measurments are about the same after a week of all cardio based routines. My starting body fat was at 13.9% and is now 14.59%. I have gained 3lbs of muscle so far and 2lbs of fat. I think that's pretty good for 4 weeks. That's almost a pound a week which is really good. My measurements are about the same as last week, but I cut some body fat since last week. Down about .05%. The cardio paid off and didnt lose much if any on the size. Shoulder measurements up by almost .45". Could be measuring mishap. I'll know more next week when I measure again. Going great.

Day 19 & 20 & 21 Report - P90x Insanity Weight Lifting Hybrid Program

     Day 19: Friday I only did my weight lifting workout. Missed Insanity Cardio Recovery this morning. I also missed the p90x legs/back workout. Real life effects everyones life that isn't doing this as a full time profession. So I resign to the fact that I represent "the WORKING CLASS!". lol. I purposely missed the legs/back because my forearms hurt so bad from lifting today. I didn't want to risk putting anymore pressure on them with weight.
     In hind site, I should have done it for the burn and used zero weights. I'll post a POST Week view of my workouts with results on Monday to tighty this up. With that said, I schedule light cardio before my weight days because I want to maximize my energy levels on that day for chest/traps or lats. Remember, my goal is to add mass using p90x, chest/traps weight training and insanity to help keep body fat low with high impact cardio several times a week. I also modify legs to be just legs with light back work. When I read about how initially p90x legs wasn't long enough they threw in back to make it a complete workout, I felt resolved about focusing more on legs than back. I typically add more weight and low reps on the legs to simulate a "squat" type workout. I am going to modify it further as the program progresses through to day 60 and day 90, going for more "squat" type workouts added and less back workouts. The back routines will be more and more focused on in the chest/traps/lats weight workouts for that day.
     Day 20: Rest Day. I always try and either take the whole day off or get intensity level 2 only workouts. Was scheduled for Abs, but pushed it to Sunday.

     Day 21: Did yard work all day. If you live in Alabama in the dead of summer you know that's a workout all by itself. Skipped Insanity Pure Cardio. At this point still shy about doing anything physical until forearms stop hurting. I should see a slight increase in weight or body fat percent. Almost three days of no real hard core cardio or HIIT. I'm ok with this, one of the days was a scheduled rest anyways so no biggie to the overall game plan. Gaining mass has less cardio so I'm not afraid. Just can't let gaining body fat cloud my overall goal. Resist the fear of body fat!

Day 17 Report - P90x Insanity Weight Lifting Hybrid Program

     Really brought it to my morning INSANITY workout. For some reason I had it in my mind I had to much body fat and it propelled my workout. Mistake. Why? Never let fear guide you in that way. I mean misguided fear. After doing my body fat, weight, and measurements I know I'm on target. In your fitness journeys realize what is misguided fear and what "real" fear. Fear of eating at a fast food restaurant every day and not exercise should give you a good dose of "healthy" fear and is a well-founded fear. Doing something because I just "think" I have to much body fat without properly calculating to prove it is an "unfounded" fear. Doesn't sound like a big deal and in that instance it's not that harmful. I deal with people that use unfounded fears to hamper their fitness. "Oh, I have to order desert and eat at all these dinners or my co-workers will hate me." How do you know? Did you cut your portions size by 1/2 or even 1/4? They wouldn't even notice. Making a decision without truly knowing the out come. Don't get me wrong, fear is critical in life. Yeah, I have a fear that if I walk out in traffic I may get injured. Yeah, healthy fear. ;) Ok, off rant.
     On to the workouts. I continue to keep weight very very low on the 16 count routines to save energy for the main arm and shoulder routines and continue to do those to failure while increasing weight. My wrists tend to wear down toward the end of the workouts so I probably need to back off some weight somewhere until they get used to the weight and routines at that weight. On the dips I went from last week of 25lbs in my lap to 30lbs at 20 reps each. I used to do over 40 dips a set, but with the weight I really feel it. When doing dips really focus on the traps and upper back. If you can't feel it there adjust until you do. Really monitored form this session and made sure I did go crazy overboard with the weight like last week. When I do that it leads to hurting my wrists some.

Day 15 Report - P90x Insanity Weight Lifting Hybrid Program

Rearranged the workout for this week to allow for more resting type routines before chest/back workouts. On the day before the chest/bench workouts I took the ligher cardios programs so my body wouldn't be so tired the next day. Rest is very important when trying to gain mass. I took a snap shot of this weeks routines. We will see how it goes. My body fat is down from it's original values by .5% and I have gained 4lbs. Last week I stopped doing the weight gainer slammer(1 scoop weight gainer(500cals) + 1/2 scoop oatmeal + 1 scoop protein powder) twice a day to once a day on cardio days, and twice a day on weight/resistance days. Felt like I was putting on to much weight to fast. I saw some weight spikes during the week. I've continued that through to this week.
Looks like once again I'm gaining weight and loosing body fat. My neck, and arm measurements were UP and my knee and calf measurements were down. I also topped out at a 32" waist. So that has moved a little. Over all I think it's going according to plan. Time will tell.
My fit test scores were pretty good. Way better than I thought. I predict next weeks may not be so good considering I lowered some of the cardio this week for rest. Again, this is a MASS BUILDING program, so the INSANITY cardio is there to POP that body fat into shape quickly since the routines are so calorie burning intense with less time. Felt good about the week. Ready to hit it hard.
Chest/Back was modified from week earlier a bit. Lost my heart rate stats. Reset without writing them down. :( Added 5lbs more to the backpack on pullups. Actually got more reps on pull ups than last week. HHmmm. Upped the weights some but not a lot generally. Still in the 10-12 on most. Will change that in a few weeks unless reps start hitting 13-15, then will adjust. Going with the same concept of reps/weights body building programs sometimes use over a 3-6 month period as far as that goes. More on that soon.

Day 13 & 14 Report - P90x Insanity Weight Lifting Hybrid Program

Took the second rest day off the week on Day 13. Man do I feel like I need them. Not feeling to shabby. Not getting enough sleep is the real problem at this point. Between this and BeachBody Coaching and giving 110% in everything I do(family, work, coaching, fitness, etc.) makes for a very long day and very short night. :) I wouldn't change a thing!
Day 14 was cardio day. I LOVE THE INSANITY AB ROUTINE! No situps or crunches, just straight up leg extensions. Made me feel like I started Ab-Ripper X day 1.
Gaining weight pretty rapidly. Think I need to back off my cals by about 200 cals and see how the weight goes.
Measurements are tomorrow morning. Time to prep for next weeks set of routines. I'll post the sets tomorrow too.

PICK A FITNESS GOAL AND LOSE WEIGHT

Goals. Pick one.

Write it down. Be specific. If you want to lose weight, pick an amount and a time. Maybe it's 1lb a week. Nice goal. 50lbs in 60 days? Sounds good. Pick it and write it down. You can't just write down lose weight because you haven't given your mind a target. Yep a target. When you give you brain a goal and you confirm this every day by writing it down, your mind will begin to recognize it as important. Pay attention here this is key. The more and more your brain is reinforced that this is important the subconscious will begin to act on it. Because your subconscious is working with you on gaining your goal you will begin to do things without thinking about it to reach your goal. Professional athletes use this technique day in and day out. It's why we call them PRO's.
   
Remember, this is SYNERGISTIC fitness. Every little thing makes up the whole fitness experience. This is just one more tool in your journey to fitness. Use it in conjunction with all the other tools available and the sum of it all will propel your fitness experience to new heights. Use me, use the Beachbody forums to help with accountability, write down your goals, read fitness magazines, etc. It all adds up. Write down what is keeping you from achieving what you know is yours. Figure out how to remove that obstacle and do it. Write it down, and write down the solution. You know what it is, you have to put it down and act on it. Now, pick up a pen and move this thing forward!

Day 11 Report - P90x Insanity Weight Lifting Hybrid Program

On the Modified Dumbbell V-Up Roll up I was afraid I was giving to much use to one side of my abs on the pulse up to touch the dumbbell to my toe. So, I added to pulses to the feet. One to the right foot the second to the left foot. Helped even out the strain on both sides of the abs. Nice.

All pushups are done on knees for INSANITY. Goal is to strictly use INSANITY for cardio, and get resistance for chest solely from p90x or Bench Routines. Still trying to slice out some time from the ab ripper x. I think it is less than 44 minutes. I took a few breaks thinking about the routines.
Great news! It appears this is working so far. My weight has increased and my body fat is down! THAT HAS TO BE MASS! SWEET!

I haven't calculated my food intake again since I started. It was around 3400 calories then and I have been sticking to pretty much the same food. I'm using a mass gainer for and extra thousand calories. I take the weight gainer, 1/2 cup of original oat meal, and 1 scoop of protein powder and mix it in a shaker. I do that twice a day as snacks. The weight gainer oat meal combo seems to be a very inexpensive way to gain some much needed calories and complex carbs on level 2. I think its working.

Day 7 Report - P90x Insanity Weight Lifting Hybrid Program

Did my modified 1 hour ab ripper x with weight workout this morning. Had to modify a few routines and made some workout sheets for it. Did a good bit of research on the top 10 ab routines based on some lab studies. Very interesting stuff. Subtracted a few routines to reduce repetatvie work and save time. Want it under an hour for sure if not more. Want the biggest bang for the buck.
That was followed up by a tough round of INSANITY PLYO! Because I'm doing p90x chest routines followed up by another night/day of pure bench routines, I do all INSANITY pushups on my knees.
I am also modifying the routines to squeeze as much rest out of yoga-x/cardio recovery combined with two days to rest. I'm creating a weekly plan that allows for as much rest as possible. So I will rearrange the days those accordingly. I'm going for mass as much as possible.
So far I have subbed in bench for all p90x pushups, based on the type of push ups. Use a backpack with weights in it for all pull ups. I also do things like put a dumbbell in my lap for dips. For legs and back, I used as much weight as possible for dips, and thus reduced the number. This will help with mass on my legs. Just have to be careful not to stress the knees out.

When Life Throws ...

When LIFE throws you JELLO ... EAT IT .. unless your doing p90x.
