   Hi,

   i am truly amazed by your results so far…

   i know that u started using supplements the second month, however, i was wondering did u use any sort of supplement the first month of p90x? Did u use protein shakes/bars, recovery formula, or the multi vitamin?

   Thanks, and how do u stay motivated lol, i suck at that…

   How many pullups were you able to do day 1 vs where you are at currently in the program?

   Just wondering as I am having trouble with pullups. I sometimes use a lat machine during the workouts. I was thinking about switching to bands, but don’t know.

   What I will try to do at times is do as many pullups as I can, which isn’t many, then I’ll quickly jump on the lat machine to pound out more reps that way.

   If you could let me know your thoughts, that would be great.

   By the way, I enjoy the vids!

   Thanks!

   @Matt: I did 8 pull-ups during the pre-P90X fit test — I do more than that when I max out now.

   My advice would be to keep a chair under you as you’re doing pull-ups. Do as many as you can on your own without any help from the chair, and then get some last reps in using the chair once you max out.

   @Rahul Sehgal: During month one, I wasn’t taking supplements. Just eating lots of healthy food.

   Motivation has to come from within. It’s very personal and what motivates me, won’t necessarily motivate the next person.

   This program is a challenge and changing your lifestyle, habits, and physical condition isn’t easy. Dig down and find what really motivates you, and then keep that fresh in your mind at all times.

   @Jboi: Thanks!

   I’m pretty skeptical as well about programs that promise big results, but P90X definitely works as long as you’re willing to follow everything as it’s laid out.

   hi,
   I started this program and in week 1 got amazing results… week 2 resulted in performance of the exercise much better. I was surprised at th strength I had gained to perform each exercise with better form and more reps. Particularly surprised at my own capability of holding the squat positions in the leg routine. Amazing workout. as I finished week 2… i just could not go back for week 3 because of time, work and travel. Still get compliments from the 2 week intense workout and shape i got into….. so looking forward to get back to it.

   And yes just like many I followed healthy eating plan and not the nutrition guide from P90X. Nutrition guide is a sure shot plan to get results faster but getting it adapted into your routine can cause delay in start of your exercise plan. SO, eat healthy and follow your exercise plan religiously you are bound to see results…. Just Hang On to it.

   Out of all those T.V. commercials and scam products out there… here are two simple words for P90x….. IT WORKS!
