| Wha what! Now I can be on the P90X informercials ... hmmmmmmm maybe not. My day 90 pictures look like infomercial day 30 pictures. Either way, it was a lot of fun. Okay, so can you get infomercial results? It depends. You need to be in pretty good shape to begin with (people should consider you very fit) or have been very fit in the past, and you need to be looking to lose weight. I was losing weight to start off, but I noticed I would probably hit 120 if I kept at it. My abs disappeared once I gained enough weight, even though my general body shape was getting better. Having a 6 pack is like the badge of rippetude, so I don't consider myself ripped after these 90 days. Getting ripped is all about watching what you eat. You can do it - it's hard for some (like me, being Filipino), but it's possible. If you watch what you eat, staying around or below 2000 Cal, and follow the program, I have no doubt that you can get to ripped infomercial status in 90 days (if you fit the first two items). If you don't get ripped in 90 days, enjoy the results that you do get. Unless your body got worse, I don't see how you can complain about the program. If it takes you a few rounds to get ripped, so what? People have annual gym memberships, and this one's only 90 days. If you want, you can go P180X or P270X or even more. Now that I'm done, I plan on doing it again. This time I'll keep my diet the same throughout the program and keep the weights heavy. When I started, I was maxing at 15-20 reps. I need to keep that below 10, and for the whole program. Also, I was eating about 1800 Cal to start and switched to 3000 - this time I don't plan on counting calories. I'll try to get 4 meals in, and try to stay away from outrageously oily foods, but I'm not going to analyze everything. On to the stats and pix! - Weight/BF:
- Day 1: 135.8/10.4
- Day 90: 147.4/12.3
- Min weight: 131.2
- Max weight: 148.2
- So there's about an 11 lbs difference with a 2% gain in BF %. The min/max is different by 17 lbs!
- Biceps (R/L):
- Day 1: 13.25/12.5
- Day 90: 14.0/13.5
- Almost 1 inch gained on both arms. Still 1/2 inch difference between the right and left arm.
- Waist:
- Day 1: 28.5
- Day 90: 28.5
- Stayed the same with 11 lbs gained!
- Hips:
- Quads (R/L):
- Day 1: 20.25/19.5
- Day 90: 22/21.5
- Almost two inches gained on both legs. That must be where a lot of the weight went to.
- Chest:
- Day 1: no measurement
- Day 90: 38.25
- I don't take chest measurements because I feel like I can't get the same measurement twice (breathing, different measurement points, etc.) I just took the day 90 for the heck of it.
