P90x progress tracker

[RCP43B]

Hello my name is Ronald Pierce, I have been lifting regularly for the past six years, really I have taken a much bigger interest in it though in the past two. I used to be fat, got in shape through late high school while playing ice hockey, and have always striven to be leaner and stronger. I downloaded P90X a while ago, got the FULL program with PDF files for the nutrition guide and everything. I used the workouts off and on but never anything much more than that. Recently I have been frustrated at a plateau in my progress losing fat after a period of bulking as well. SO I decided to actually devote an entire 90 days to the actual program after a friend of mine showed me some impressive results he achieved with it.

I am beginning this program today with a friend of mine who is doing the whole thing with me and a roommate who will join us most of the time when his workouts for golf aren't conflicting. We go to Mizzou and he golfs for us. My goal is to drop below 11% fat and be in the leanest and most cut shape I have ever been in. beyond that I also hope to get my friend working with me in better shape. he blew out his knee in football back in high school and has WAY too much extra weight put on since then.

So a few days ago I completed the pre program tests and the results are as below. I will be periodically updating my progress. If anyone asks for them I will TRY to upload my before pictures, as well as my 30 day, 60 day, and 90 day results pics.


Body fat= 13.8% (I am really surprised by this number as i was 17% three months ago and i feel the same and look about the same)

Weight= 192 lbs

Chest= 41.5 Inches
Waist= 32
Hips= 40
Right Thigh = 24
Left Thigh = 24
Right Arm = 15
Left Arm= 14.75
Resting Heart Rate = 69


Pull ups= 6 (Pathetic I know)
Push up = 36 (equally pathetic probably could have done more.)
Toe Touch = 7 inches PAST toes (former ice hockey goalie so advantage there naturally)
Wall Squat = held for one minute and 46 seconds

HOLY ****E, do not let anyone tell you this workout is easy. I have done it before but never straight through. it was rough. the amount of push ups and pull ups will be hard for almost anyone. The first day is chest and back and i am sore. about to pass out. can't wait for the satisfactory soreness tomorrow. Tomorrow's workout is Plyometrics so i am excited for that. Later.

Been three days since I last posted. been busy. Yesterday was the shoulder and arms day of the program. Still in phase 1 which lasts four weeks, with the fourth week being a rest week. legs are still sore from the previous day which was 45 minutes of plyometrics. I really like that workout. its challenging and a GREAT cardio workout, minimal rest involved. The Arm and shoulder day wasn't too bad either. Mostly I just feel tight, but that was how I felt after day one chest, and then 48 hours later the delayed onset soreness really set in.

So far the diet portion is the harder thing to follow. I elected to just follow the suggested ratios of macro nutrients instead of following the specific meal plan. its hard for a poor college student to be that specific shopping for food. Any way today is yoga, and YES I will be doing it. I realize it looks stupid, but hey its got to be there for a reason. Also I have lost so flexibility since i stopped playing hockey so I am hoping it will help me get that flexibility back.

I will try to update again later afterward or tomorrow morning.
