Two months ago I wrote a post about packing on a few pounds and said I would share my results. Well I managed to gain about 6 pounds and increased my lifts in every single exercise which is always good. An example is the machine bench press, which I did 5 reps of 135 on Day 1. The other day, I pumped out 10 reps of 175. Big difference!
Now that I am moving and will no longer have a gym, I have decided to start the P90X program today. If you have never heard of it, you can check out the details of the program here. Basically, it’s a 90 day fitness program that has helped tons of people transform themselves. The program includes 12 workout DVD’s along with a meal plan to go along with the program. Best part of all, it can be done at home with only a few pieces of equipment (dumbbells, chin-up bar, push-up handles, etc.)
If all goes as planned, I will have my last day on August 15th. I will be posting my pictures and progress after each phase of the workout (3 phases total), along with my before pictures below.
Before Stats
Here is a breakdown of my stats prior to starting the program:
- Weight: 173.8 Pounds
- Bodyfat (Using Scale): 15.0%
- Flexed Arm Size: 35 cm
- Waist (Belly Button Level): 84 cm
Before Pictures
The first phase is 4 weeks along, so I will post some new pictures along with my stats when I get to the end of it. I also plan on putting up weekly recaps just to keep track of where I am and how it is going.
Wish Me Luck!

Update – I managed to finish phase 1 and you can view the results here.

Man…you are making me feel extremely lazy. I am probably in the realm of needing to lose weight not gain it though. About 15-20 lbs worth.
Way to go, Justin. I’ve been watching those P90X infomercials. Looks hardcore.
Good luck with the program man, been at it awhile and it has completely changed my life

Good luck on the program Justin. Been considering the program for a while now.
Did you end up going all the way through?
I never finished my first round but I’m starting up again next week and I’m going to use a blog to document my results and progress so hopefully that will help me finish.
Unfortunately no. I made it through Phase 1 and then started to slack off and eventually quit. I did get in great shape however. I just hate the idea of working out inside, especially when you live in a state that’s warm the majority of the year.

Can you tell me how the phases go I got the cd’s from my friend maybe even the nutrition program? Just the break dolwn of the normal phase will do
Great blog. I wanted to read about your P90X journey….is it on the site? I am starting it today!
Just found your blog. I’ve never done P90X, but is there a way to break it up where you do some of the stuff inside, and supplement the rest outdoors with hikes, sprints, or jogs?
