Wayne’s P90X Results Video
Most Popular Products
hey Wayne, I was wondering if p90x would help an 18 year old boy who’s 5’10 and 155 pounds. I’m just normal, no size in my arms and about 18% body fat.
Absolutely Alan, if you will commit to it!
Coach,
I was wondering your opinions on “juicing”, no not roids, but actual fruit and vegetable juicing. I recently started doing that instead of consuming it whole as I find veggies intolerable. I usually start with a mix of fruits in the morning and then a veggie cocktail along with my last meal. Maybe run about 6-8 ounces each. I’m in a losing weight/fat loss stage and calories are important. Your thoughts please.
Hey BMack, I’ve never done juicing myself. I just eat my veggies :-).
But I think it’s a great option to get a lot of veggies in a single shot. If you like it, go for it! There are many benefits to juicing, especially to get a great variety of veggies and nutrients into your daily plan.
Couch Wayne,
I just finished the first month of p90x and I’ve lost 16lbs :-) But I’m having great difficulty with the yoga nights, I’m just not flexible enough yet to do a lot of the exercises and almost feel like I am not getting a good work out. Can I sub in another disk until I get more flexible?
Thanks
Hey Doug, sub core synergistics for yoga if you want a better workout. That’s what I did.
Thanks couch Wayne!
Hey Coach! God Bless You! I Hope and pray that you are doing well and are blessed in the LORD! I thank God for people like yourself that are committed to keeping the temple of the Holy Ghost in good shape!
My question is as follows. I started p90x March 19th and I am up to phase 3 day 1. I have a positive attitude about going for the doubles workout when i start p90x over again. How much different will my diet change now that i’m doing a more challenging workout schedule? for example, I workout in the mornings and as you know with the doubles program from p90x, i will workout twice a day. More specifically, when will it be a best time to consume a protein shake? right now i am using ON Gold Standard Whey Protein and p90x Results and recovery for post workouts. Further more, will i have to take p90x R&R twice a day after each workouts? thanx in advance for your help! God Bless You!

Hey Michael! The diet is based more on your goals than what workout program or phase of the workout program you are on. Stick to the recommendations I have in the “dialing it in” section, based on where you are at now and where you want to get.

And then, as for when to consume protein, read my article from a few days ago, “Protein Again”.
If you do extra cardio, that’s fine, but don’t take R/R again after the extra cardio. And don’t eat more because of the extra cardio. If you do, you might as well not even do the extra cardio cuz the purpose of doing it is to burn extra calories, right?
Keep the focus on your main P90X workout. That and the nutrition is the key to your results.
Keep bringing it!
Awesome thanx Coach! this helped big time! AHhhhWoOO!!!
I have started month 2 round 2 of P-90X and have shaken things up a bit by using medicine balls and suspension straps for balance during the body weight exercises and a balance ball for some of the seated and ab moves. Doing this I can only make it through about half the workout before my upper body can’t take any more. Then I plan on running for the other half to boost cardio for Warrior Dash.
My question is this, Since I am only doing half the weight lifting workout, should I switch from the first half of the workout to second half for week two or keep doing the first half and switch to the second half some other time?
That’s up to you Biblemonkey. The principle behind resistance training is cumulative fatigue, so by doing only half the workout you are cutting down your results a good bit. If it were me, I’d do the whole resistance workout on the 3 lift days, and do my running on the other 3-4 days per week.
Glad you are enjoying upping the challenge with straps and balls. Nice!
But if my upper body is too fatigued to continue through the second half should I try and push through anyway? I honestly don’t think I could have done another pushup.
Then pace yourself better! :-)
How should I pace it differently? Right now I am doing max reps on all exercises and pushing the lifts with hypertrophy weight in the 3-6 rep range. I WAS using a 50 lb vest and getting at least 12-15 with pushups last month but now I don’t use any weight and with the added instability and no extra weight added my pushups went to the 8-10 range because the balance muscles were brought into play. Once my body gets a little more used to the instability I plan on doing the full lift days but for right 1/2 destroys me with the modifications.
Well, then maybe do less reps so that you can last the whole workout and gradually work your way up. The balance makes things very difficult at first (which is why X2 has an entire foundation phase before throwing lift days at you to help you strengthen the stability and core musculature).
Ok. I’ll give it a try.
Hey Wyane,
As I’ve told you before I am pretty much the gunea pig for trying work out programs at my school. I get asked to try all the diffrent ones. Since the new “Body Beast” has been announced do you know of anyway to get into a test group or something along those lines?
Hey Kyle, you’ll be able to do the Body Beast challenge that we do as a team when it comes out if you want to join us!
Coach,
I have two nutrition questions for ya:
1. Are the Insanity and P90x guides interchangeable? Such as, if I do P90x can I use the Insanity foods and vice versa?
2. I’m on board with Shakeology and the Insanity guide gives options for meals 1 & 3. Is it prudent to drink two shakes a day? Any benefits or overkill?
thanks,
Hey BMack, no matter which workout you are doing (X or Insanity) I would recommend you follow the guidelines I have laid out in the “nutrition tips” tab because you will get your best results that way.
Yes, you can do Shakeology as much as you want. The only drawback is you go through it faster LOL.
Hi Coach.
I weigh 184lbs, my age is 30, and I am 5’9. I am thinking of using insanity but I would like to gain some muscle mass(not too much) just enough to notice. Is insanity the route to go?
Hey Chris, you’d be better off with P90X, which incorporates resistance training. Insanity is all cardio so it’s a great calorie burn, but you won’t build muscle.
Hey Coach Wayne! Just got to first say I give you props for all that you’ve accomplished! And great job! But I have a few questions for ya. I’m a youth minister and with working with the youth a lot I take them out for lunches, going on camping trips and such. Especially this summer we’ll be going all over the place. What can I do on the days I won’t be able to do P90X? And is it okay to substitute 1 day of P90X for basketball? Thanks for all your help and future help!
Hey James. Sounds like you will have an awesome summer! Obviously you will have to plan ahead on the nutrition to keep yourself on track. But your question is about workouts, and here’s my take on that =
Try to do all the P90X lift workouts every week. They are the most important part of the program. You can definitely sub Bball or other high intensity cardio work for the P90X cardio workouts. But it would be better to move the lift days around so that you get all 3 of them in every single week.
Sweet! Thank you! And that was actually my next question! haha, I see a lot of the nutrition info and help and it looks excellent! But whats a good way to keep things or prep things when I’m always on the go?
What I’ve found works best James is to pack stuff that is easy and requires little to no prep. The things I typically travel with are apples, carrots, protein bars, jerky, almonds, whey protein and water bottles, etc. And for meals, you’ll need something that could keep it cool, but you can do lean meats, tuna, spinach, canned black beans, etc.
Perfect, thank you so much for the help! And If I have any other questions I’ll be sure to pop on back by! Thanks again Coach Wayne God bless!
Coach,
I heard today at the office that they aren’t going to make the Pure Protein bars anymore…is that true? They heard that from someone at Sams Club…They said that Jillian Michaels is supposedly coming out with something like it.
I haven’t heard anything about that Luke. I’m actually trying to go with no protein bars at all for a while, since I was kind of getting addicted to them LOL.
Might have to stock up though just to be safe!
