New Around Here: Cutting with P90X

shb5007 · 06-03-2009, 01:22 AM

Hello all, I am BRAND NEW to the BB forums...so please bear with me.

I am currently using the P90X program to cut. I basically want to get back into shape, and obviously loose a little body fat. The 90X program has been tough, but I am extremely motivated/committed.

My main question is what supplements should I be taking? In the past when I have lifted I have taken (along with protein) a pre-workout n.o. supplement, and a post-workout cellmass supplement. This would obviously not be a good idea for cutting, correct?

I am thinking about trying REDuction, Protein, & IntrAbolic.

Is there anything else I should consider?

my dad did p90x and got shredded from it!! the only thing he used was protein and glutamine post workout and maybe some bcaa's intra workout!!
with doing something like p90x and you want to get back into shape....just leave supps alone for right now except the basics like protein, good diet, hydration, bcaa, and vitamins!
maybe some caffeine supp, coffee or sugar free red bull pre, but that is all i would recomend for that!

Also, should I be taking Glutamine?

I wouldn't use Reduction.. you don't need it, imo. whey and intrabolic are sufficient.
if you need more energy then get a pre-workout supp. creatine is fine as well, just stay hydrated.
congratulations getting in shape.

You don't even need to buy the P90x program either, if you're a resourceful digital thief.

I am using P90x also. I just started phase 2 on Monday and I feel pretty good about my results so far. I have gained an inch in both my arms and chest while losing 2.5 inches around my gut. I measured myself 3 times and had my wife to do it just to make sure I was right. The thing I like the most is I have burned fat and gained muscle all while staying about the same weight which is great considering I am trying to get to atleast 200-210. The first week I went from 184 to 176 now I am back up to 188-190. For supp's I started out with just Mass-Tech protein and Androgenerator. Halfway throught phase 1 I stopped the Andro at the recommendation of a friend and added SuperPump250 and SizeON. For the second phase I have added Novedex XT to the stack and will be picking up some Mitrotopin(sp?) to hopefully accelerate fat loss around my gut.

I also cut a lot of stuff out my diet. Salt, excess sugar, watch my fat intake, soda, etc. Only thing I drink now is my gallon(+) of water a day.

I finished my 90 days with pretty good results. I dropped my weight from 207 to 196. The first 30 days I drank WF Pre and whey post. The next 30 I cycled off the WF but used PW for endurance and still drank whey post. The last 30 days I stacked the WF and PW with whey post.
