Another strong week. This is the first week of my third month where you get back into strength building and muscle isolation. This is the same workout week as you start on week 1. It seems like they make you repeat this week for motivation since you see dramatic increase on your reps and endurance …

Week 8 – P90X Review
My climb continues. I can feel the anticipation to reach the end. By now, your body is now used to taking more reps, more weights, squat deeper all the while your mind is absorbing and silencing the earlier months’ desire to give up. Now, you know all about feeling a runners’ high and understand better …
Week 7 – P90X Review
Facts: I’ve completed 49 days of the P90X program in 57 days. I’m almost 2/3 of the way towards my goal. Through a bad cold, flu, lots of travel and other commitments, I feel that this is a great accomplishment. I’m now going into the 8th week focusing on core and cardio (recovery week). I’m …
Week 6 – P90X Review
How does one week turn into two? Travel out of the country for 4 days, pack your schedule with as many meetings as you can and wait to have your email inbox so full that you are forced clean it pass midnight before you can drop dead. That was my week. It started ok, then …
Week 5 – P90X Review
After recovery week, this week felt like the first one in some ways. There were brigther moments of sustainable development which showed in my endurance, more strength in some areas and better overall metabolic capacity. Back and Biceps left my arms sore for over three days. Chest, Shoulders and Triceps was a very tough routine where I bailed out much sooner …
Day 31 – Back & Biceps
45 minutes of solid and sustained workout in just two areas. Basically, pull-ups and dumbbell movements. Intensity and focus seem to be the theme for the second month of training. You want to start this week with a low weight if you are not used to sustained and isolated muscle training or you will burn …
Day 29 – Chest, Shoulders & Triceps
I pushed play on a new video today and what a superb workout it was. After recovery week, this workout wants to confuse you with all kinds of chest-shoulder-tricep combos in a unique way. I was a wimp. Near the end of this one, I couldn’t even start one push-up. The shoulder burn was too …
Week 4 – P90X Summary
I just completed my 10-day recovery week. Yes, I did manage to add 3 days to one week. This was a longer week and not my best for many reasons including the Christmas Holiday and a nagging chest cold/cough for 4 days that slowed me down. Overall, I find that the combination of Core Synergistics …
Velocity Training for Adult Beach Volleyball
A friend told me about Velocity training as a good follow up to the P90X training. It appears that this is a increasingly popular method to develop agility, cardio and jump training which is more specific to volleyball. I will keep this in mind around Feb-08. If the results are anything like Vicky, 24″ vertical, …
Week 3 – P90X Summary
My main discoveries after my 3rd week are how I clicked through all routines and the visible proof that my body is experiencing some positive gains. This week, I also was a bit more disciplined about the diet and added protein shake as called for in the nutrition plan. I am taking the protein shake …
