P90X Check In

I forgot about the GS workouts...you could use those in a mock P90X routine as well. You could probably use PUB as well, or even CTX upper body split (these may be more for an endurance type approach to the weight work...as opposed to lower rep strength/growth oriented workouts).

I saw a rotation that Kathryn has done up as well that looked good - do a search.

Oh, I had such HUGE ambitions today! I was going to do Plyo X and Core Synergetics. I didn't realize how muscle intensive CS is, though and I did Viper yesterday, so I skipped that one. I'll do it tomorrow instead. Looks like fun. I LOVED Plyo X, though! What fun! Reminds me of a Sports Conditioning class I took at my old gym - hard core drills, and just plain gym work. My quads, glutes and calves are going to feel this tomorrow!
 
Deni...the only thing that is confusing to me is that P90X never works the entire upper body in one day? I just finished a 3 week P90X style modified rotation using S&H and a bit more leg work than P90X it looked like this for the weights:
1. S&H Chest & Back, abs
2. interval run, Cathe leg workout
3. S&H Sho, Bi's and Tri's, abs
4. Yoga, Cathe leg workout
5. PUB Back, core
6. Kickbox
7. Long run, or rest

I do run 6 days a week so I didn't add all the runs. I think Imax is good for PlyoX, but I feel the upper body should be split up....make any sense?
 
i am going to be brave and try p90x back and biceps tomorrow. we bought a new power tower and i am dying to try. i am thinking i may start the classic p90x rotation next month!!
 
OT but Sunnydelite I see from your post that you only have two more pounds to lose! Well done! :D

LORD NO :eek: :eek: :eek:!!!! I didn't mean the entire upper body at one time...can you imagine doing all of the SH upper body workouts on one day...you'd have to be insane :D :D . I meant all of one workout...meaning SH Chest and Back, or SH bi's and tri's, or PS Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps, etc. Sorry for the confusion...heehee!!
