Reasons NOT To Buy P90X on Ebay
May 18, 2009 By 3 Comments
You have probably seen the P90X infomercial or one of our many others on TV. You like many other people have come to eBay to look for a deal. Your probably wondering, “Why is P90X so cheap on eBay?” “Is it safe to buy?” I am going to tell you why you don’t want to buy from the wrong person.
#1. IF YOU SEE “No NUTRITION GUIDE,NO CALENDER, NO WORKOUT GUIDE STAY AWAY” Its just not cost effective for the pirates out there to copy the guides, but it’s easy to copy the DVD’s
#2. If listed on eBay and they have sold several in the past or have more than one listed something wrong most likely it’s a fake.
#3. If they have all their auctions set to private so you can’t see what they sold in the past something is wrong. Beachbody Coach’s use to be able to sell on eBay, but this was a long time ago and they can’t do it anymore! A few still try to break the rules by trying to hide their listings, but many of these are also fakes from China who try to hide there listing by making them private.
#4 They also list shorter versions of the title. Only listing P90 instead of P90X but are selling P90X. P90 is another program we sell. But if you see P90X under P90 stay away! You will also see this on Google adds if you see things like P-90-X or P 90 X with spaces or P_90_X Stay away these are mostly fakes from China.
#5. Many of the fakes I see are list between $65-$85 dollars.
#6. If you see download P90X for free this is also an Illegal download.
#7. If you see Nutrition Guide and Workout Book on PDF this is also a fake.
#8. Also lookout for people selling the books and DVDs separate. I have seen each sell for $75 or more why would you want to pay $150 for something you can get both for $119.85… With so many fakes out there the books, workout calendars, and nutrition guides, have become valuable by themselves. So they break them up to rip you off.
Please make sure you read the fine print in any eBay ad!

Bulk Up and Build Mass With P90X
May 17, 2009 By 3 Comments
I get a lot of questions about How To Bulk/Size Up with P90X. I have done some research and found the excert below from a the Beachbody Fitness Advisor Steve Edwards.
I do suggest you complete P90X Classic version before you try this method.
-Excert From Fitness Advisor Steve Edwards.
The difference between what you’ll do here and what Tony says is no pacing. Do each set to failure (if you can add enough resistance), and try not to exceed 10 reps. I would suggest beginning with a weight you can only do 6 or so reps with. As soon as you hit 10 with that weight, add more. Of course, you’ll probably need to lower the resistance of the course of each workout.
Do these reps SLOW and in control. Speed is for power, but not size. Focus on perfect form and only add weight when you can do each rep with great form.
When you’re done… you’re done. You don’t need to finish an entire workout if you’re struggling. Once you lose the ability to move the weight or do the move in strict form, stop the workout.
I’m starting using X only.
Keep in mind that your caloric burn is based more on resistance than total movement. There is not nearly as much cardio and your average heart rate will be much lower than during Classic X. If you eat the same amount you may gain more mass but you’ll also gain more body fat. This might or might not be acceptable. Monitor your calories as necessary. Just make sure that you eat enough.
I will finish this with a ‘get ripped’ phase for those of you who choose to eat more in favor of mass and want to lose some body fat.
Phase 1 – 3 weeks
1 – Chest, Shoulders, Tris
2 – Cardio X
3 – Legs & Back (with no back)
4 – X Stretch, or X Plus Core
5 – Back & Bis
6 – Yoga XTransition Week
1 – Core Syn
2 – Yoga
3 – Plyo
4 – X Stretch
5 – Core Syn
6- Yoga

You’ll also receive a 3-phase nutrition plan, supplement options, a detailed fitness guide, a calendar to track your progress, online peer support, and much more. You won’t believe your results!
Why is P90X so effective?
The secret behind the P90X system is an advanced training technique called “Muscle Confusion,” which accelerates results by constantly introducing new moves and routines so your body never plateaus, and you never get bored! Whether you want to get lean, bulk up, or just plain get ripped, there’s an endless variety of ways to mix and match the routines to keep you motivated.
My Review
Ok so I purchased P90X back on October 2007. I was pretty excited, I have always been atheletic and in decent shape. I am not one of those guys thats like to go to the gym and workout. I had never even tried a workout dvd prior to P90X becasue I did not see myself staying with it or doing the same video everyday (BORING!). The P90X commercial was WAY different. This came with 12 workouts! and Diet guide. What hooked me was the layout of the program. You will have a week to week program to follow with specific dvd’s, which after 3 weeks you change to a much needed Recovery Week, only to start a entirely new work out phase and different workouts. Now, the workouts are EXTREME as the title suggest. Each day you can figure about one hour plus to devote to P90X. In the classic version you will have 3 days of resistance workouts and added to thes are the ab workouts. The resistance workouts are about an hour and the ab one is 16 minutes. What I learned to do was split the resistance workout from the ab workout and do them completely seperatly. I did my workouts first thing in the morning and the ab workout later in the day. Best part of P90X is there is no thought process, just follow the layout and your GTG! It can also be taylored to any way you may want to do it. It has 3 different versions to follow. Classic, Doubles and Lean. Easy enough right.
Below I will just give a breif review of each dvd.
Chest & Back: This is push and pull to the max…you will go from push ups to pull-ups and by using different hand positions and grips to work different muscles. This workout is really tuff, once I got finished (or so I thought) Tony says ” we are gonna do that whole thing agan” WHAT !
Plyometrics: (Jump Training) “The Mother of All P90X Workouts! And I kid you not. I could not even do this workout until I completed my 1st 90 days in the lean version( where Cardio X replaces Plyometrics) . Like Tony Says” Get your little bucker my friend, cause this one works ya” When I did start to do it I had to really pace myself slowly to keep from feeling nuasous, but after a few times I was able to Bring it!
Shoulders And Arms: Man o Man I look forward to this workout. It focuses on the “Glamour Muscles” Shoulder Biceps and Triceps. You will be working these muscles hard on this day. You will do a set of 3 exercise in the order of Shoulder, Biceps then Triceps and then repeat those same moves. 5 Sets
Yoga X: For me I have a really hard time with Yoga, for those of you who do not think yoga will work ya, you are dead wrong. This is one of the hardest workouts for me and you will be sweating your butt off.
Legs & Back: Time for legs, as if I havent used them all week in the other workouts, now its time to Bring it. In the workout you will go from leg, to calve to pull-ups. Good Luck with the wall squats.
Kenpo X: Kempo is fun fun fun. You’ll be done with this workout before ya know it. From punching to kicking Karate style, fun packed workout right here.
X Stretch: This is mainly used on your recovery weeks but is also your 7th day workout (or you can chose to rest)
Core Synergistics: Synergistics is working mutiple muscles at the same time. This is another really tuff workout for me. You are using your core muscles in every move from pushups to squats and lunges.
Chest Shoulders and Triceps: Back to shoulders and triceps. I enjoy all of the non cardio days and this one is another one of my favorites, you will doing push ups in so many forms on this day while blasting those tricep muscles as well.
Back and Biceps: Just what it says…Time to blast those biceps, move after move after move, and your break from biceps is pull ups. By the end of this workout you will attempting 1 arm pushup and plyo push ups…Oh Ya Babay!!
Cardio X: Another fun cardio workout. This incorporates all the other cario workouts in 1. You’ll start with Yoga, then move to Kenpo, Plyo, and finish with Core. This is the shortest P90X workout at 43 minutes, but its a huge calorie burn.
Ab Ripper X: As Tony says “I HATE IT, BUT I LOVE IT”
Each workout has a warm-up phase and cool down phase, which are critical to your sucess…
PS Dont forget the P90X Recovery Drink.

P90X Results and Recovery Formula
May 12, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Recover faster and see better results!
A great-tasting shake that’s specially designed to provide the precise nutrients you need to recover quickly after intense workouts, P90X Results and Recovery Formula offers a unique mix of:
- Simple and complex carbohydrates for optimum glycogen replenishment*
- A high Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) blend to provide the critical building blocks for rapid muscle resynthesis*
- Vitamins, including antioxidants, to help reduce muscle soreness and assist in repair and growth*
Studies show that with proper nutrition during the first hour following a workout you can increase your body’s ability to recover more than 100%. The key component to maximizing this “window of opportunity” is a formulation of approximately 4 parts carbohydrates to 1 part protein. P90X Results and Recovery Formula combines the proper nutrients into this state-of-the-art, great tasting, body-shaping cocktail that’s guaranteed to take your workouts to the next level.
My Review
I have personally tried a bunch of different protein and post workout supplements and have yet to find one to even come close to the P90X Drink. And it taste better than any of the other products that I have tried. This is exactly what your body needs after an intense workout like the P90X. I’ve even mixed a 50% portion for during my really intense workouts. This really helps me push through and complete a workout. I don’t feel as sore in the morning and I rarley crash when I use the Recovery Formula faithfully. I have attched a couple excerts below.
If you are doing the P90X workouts you know personally how tough they are and this drink is something you do not want to skip on. YOU NEED IT after these types of workouts.
I get a lot of questions regarding the amount of sugar in the Recovery Drink. So here is the answer-
After an intense weight training workout, your muscles are depleted of glycogen. The sugar in the recovery drink is immediately absorbed into the muscles to replenish those glycogen stores which your muscles need to rebuild and repair themselves after a hard weight training workout. At this point, it is not a bad thing for your body, but rather, it is just what your body needs. It will not cause weight gain if used properly.
If you drink the recovery drink after a not-so-taxing workout, then the sugar will NOT replenish glycogen stores (since they don’t need to be replenished) but rather it will cause an insulin spike as sugar does normally. At this point it can cause weight gain and be bad.
If you are wasted after a strength training workout, the recovery drink will help repair those muscles and reduce soreness aiding in recovery. If you are not wasted, then you are wasting your time with the recovery drink.
What’s The Deal With The Recovery Formula…
P90X Results and Recovery Formula is a four-parts-carbohydrates-to-one-part-protein powder that speeds muscle recovery.
When you exercise anaerobically (weight training, the high end of intervals, etc.), you burn blood sugar and glycogen. If you give it your all for about an hour, you’ll probably deplete both of those resources. The carbs in Recovery Formula rush in to replenish that blood sugar and glycogen. Meanwhile, the protein piggybacks in, getting to muscles for a head start on resynthesis.
This 4:1 recovery drink model was conceived by John Ivy and Robert Portman in a landmark study you can read in the book Nutrient Timing: The Future of Sports Nutrition.
First off, the carb–protein balance should be between 3:1 and 5:1 to work optimally. If you take in more protein than that or you add fat or fiber, it slows the absorption of the carbohydrates and you miss the post-workout window of about 1 hour during which nutrients are absorbed readily.
Secondly, while Recovery Formula primarily works for strength workouts, there’s an anaerobic component to most of our “aerobic,” or cardio, workouts, which you know if you’ve done P90X’s “Plyometrics” workout.
Because not every workout is going to hammer you, you should decide how much Recovery Formula you need on a sliding scale. If you’re so wasted that you’re having difficulty moving the muscle groups you just worked, then a full serving of Recovery Formula is called for. If you feel a little shaky but not trashed, you probably have a little glycogen left over, so drink half a serving.
Another factor in deciding how you use Recovery Formula is how much blood sugar you began your workout with. If your diet is very lean, you may be tapped to begin with, so sipping a little during your workout would be hugely beneficial. There’s no hard and fast rule. If you feel perfectly good post-workout, you likely didn’t train hard enough for Recovery Formula. It’s really up to you to gauge how you feel, and use some common sense.
Finally, Recovery Formula is specially designed for maximum absorption, and it has a lot of extra goodies in it. But if you’re getting fit on the cheap, you can make your own recovery drink with apples or grape juice (the acids in orange juice mess with the absorption process, so don’t use that) and a couple tablespoons of vanilla protein powder.
And no, it doesn’t taste weird. It tastes like a fruit juice float.
