Sup Fit Freaks. So, my buddy challenged me the other day to try the Insanity Workout developed by Shaun T. I thought it was a gimmick...didn't think much of it...till I met him for some boba and I was like, "HOLY FUCK YOU GOT RIPPED!" He shed a good ~12lbs in five weeks and became incredibly lean while boasting way improved cardio. Before, he could barely keep up with me when we went rock climbing. Now, he can last longer than I can and I'm a regular.

I've been talking about it in the Post Whore Thread and a few other people have expressed some serious interest. We talked about it and decided to start our own thread regarding the workout. We'll come here to keep tabs on each other on a daily basis, encourage each other and call each other bitches when we complain it's too hard and we're sore.

We're welcoming everyone and anyone that's interested to try it out with us and see how fit you really are.

i'm starting on sunday..........hopefully a 10 by 3 foot space is big enough lol

i think when we start we should post height and weight etc.

 

Yea, good point Cody. I'll edit that information in. Just list your height and weight when you post and I'll add it to the first post.

 

I'm 6 ~ 6'1"
About 130 lbs. will edit post sunday with exact weight

 

Mike 6' 165lbs about 8%bodyfat

 

yea p90x also is a purty good set of workout...ummm dvd guides(?).

 

Good call on putting your body fat down Mike. I'm right around 8% as well...I'll check tomorrow.

 

im 158 5'8" about 9% body fat

 

Updated, yo. Deez, what was your name again?

 

my names Eddie

 

Btw, you guys take any supplements?

My friend recommended this and this. Been reading up on 'em...seems like they give pretty good results and they actually taste decent unlike most of the shit out there.

 

i think i'm gonna pick up some supplements tonite.........does wal-mart carry any decent ones? lol

 

hmm interesting

 

there body fortress whey is cheap and works...not like gold standard or of the like but for $15 it does its job.

 

ill weigh in here. ive never done any p90x or insanity workout, but i hear from a few friends that they are good, and if that keeps you working out then thats awesome for you. i just do bodybuilding powerlifting style, not alot of functional strength, but i just want to look JACKED.

Im no trainer but ive been lifting for 5 years. ive made alot of mistakes, and done alot of dumb and pointless stuff and what i can say is your priorities should go like this
1)Nutrition
2)Rest
3)workouts
4)supplements

lastly-body fortress whey isnt bad (warning-it does have creatine!), put its pretty watered down stuff, you are getting what you pay for. I'd recommend Muscle Milk, Syntha 6, IsoPure Whey, or Optimum Nutrition Whey. You wouldnt but crappy gas into your honda fit so dont put it into your body. get them at Bodybuilding.com (cheapest price, fast shipping, not a shady web dealer).

 

I have a good whey protien that I use for protien shakes but thats about it. Ill look into other things as well

 

Interested? Haha.

Thanks for the input, man. Like you mentioned about the functional strength...that's the big reason I want to give this a shot. Apparently, it's supposed to just raise your overall fitness level a noticeable amount making you healthier and way more well rounded in terms of strength, cardio, flexibility, etc. We'll see what happens.

 

i just want to get a little stronger, but i'm mostly concerned with looking ripped lol

 

yo zerr0dds... im gonna pick this up as well.. i'll start posting status when i receive it/ start doing it

 

Hahaha. Do this with a combination of lifting. I think I finally figured out a schedule of going to my rock climbing gym, lifting, running and doing this.

Nice! The more the merrier. Shall I add you to the list? Would need your height/weight and name is optional.



Btw, I'll be starting this coming Monday. The torrent I downloaded had the whole shebang. It not only had all the CD's, it came with the workout chart and weekly schedule and obviously, the first day's on a Monday so I'm just going to follow it. Be another tool to keep me going and on track. Going to Costco on Sunday to pick up boat loads of food for the incoming massive calorie intake, w00t!
