Allan’s comeback!

Allan is a great story of someone who could have given up, but didn’t.  He got great results (lost 40 lbs) with P90X over the course of 2 rounds, but then a shoulder / elbow injury put his workouts on hold and he went back to his old habits.  But rather than throwing in the towel, he regrouped, started P90X2 with the teamRIPPED X2 Crew, and in just one round of X2 he lost 42 lbs!  That’s no joke!!!  Congrats Allan!  Way to never give up!!

Last round I remember I got the P90X package in the mail after watching the infomercial. Before it came in, I got my equipment. I was psyched. My wife was skeptical. You see I was the “fad” guy. I’d try something new for about 2-3 weeks and move onto something else.

When it came to diet and exercise, that never lasted. It left me where I was at the beginning of P90X. I got that could not do 1 pull-up, 12 pushups, or curl 15 pounds 16 times.

I went after P90X with a furry. Followed the nutrition guide and lost 40 pounds after almost 2 rounds.

Then it happened. During a pull-up my elbow popped. Like all he-men I kept working out. I damaged not only my elbow but my shoulder badly.

The doctor said I was done. 4-6 months. I was devastated. I began eating ice cream, drinking soda, and visiting McDonald’s again. The weight flew back on. Depression settled in.

Fast forward to March. I looked in the mirror and realized this was not me. I had already proven that to myself. But now I was armed with a new weapon. Teamripped and my awesome coach, Wayne. I became a student of nutrition and exercise and brought it with P90X2 and did in one round of X2 what took me almost two rounds of the original. 42 pounds gone!
