The best way to gain size is compound lifts. P90x is more of a fat loss program. I know a couple different guys who use it and it has really helped them shed unwanted fat.

I've been doing compound lifts for the past 2 months. Gained about 9lbs of muscle, lost a little fat too. Program I was on is called Stronglifts. I started the Stronglifts Advanced but I want to take a break from the hard and heavy routine to keep off the food from the holidays.

Oh, compound lifts = deadlift, bench press, squat, row, pullup, push press, etc. I work out regularly now. Back in 2004, I weighed 225 - all fat. Went down to about 170, now I'm around 194.

Hey! I take offense to that! Just because my one gold tooth can chew more than your mouth full of pearly whites, doesn't mean I'm any less of a sexy man than you. Now honestly... do you think I need to work out to get the ladies...? I just have to walk up to them and say, "hey babe.... how you doin'" .

Starting strength is a very good book. HIGHLY recommended read.

Look up "madcow 5x5" if you want a great basic weight routine to start with. Otherwise the p90X wouldn't be a bad start to get you moving around at least.


Even though I am not on a weight training program right now, I still do squats and lunges.

right now im maybe 510 511? weighing around 160. i think im in pretty good shape.. i can run 3 miles in around 20-25 minutes (depending how i ate prior)

ive never even been drunk before so i dont think this will be a problem for me (drinking in college) some people told me that i will go all crazy since i have not passed that stage yet but ive seen enough through my brother and sistr and im not going that route.

i would not mind staying at my gym but without anyone there telling me what to do i know im not getting the best workout possible. thats where p90x comes...

someone mentioned i need to use freeweights or actual weights.. well i will be getting that cool bowflex dumbell set along with a bench.. so there will be no power bands for me (hopefully i can do this..?)

i know that if i got a personal trainer then i would get way better results since im in a gym and everything but im sure they are way over my budget.
with having p90x along with my bench/dumbells i bet in the next 3 months i will get some sweet results.

i may order it tomorow.

oh and one of you also said something about finding it in torrents.... ya.......... i could and have looked but if i did end up getting the right one it would be over 40 gigs and that would take FOREVER to download. also... if i do buy it i feel that i would feel more obligated to do it if i ever wanted to quit. i did download ab ripper x and it kicks ass.

ill keep you guys updated. thanks for all your comments!
