P90 X

So I've been doing P90 X (the plyo and the abs ones) and I've noticed significant improvements in my switch ups, spins and jumps.

Just wondering if anyone else is doing this or something similar to step their game up, and looking for other suggestions as well

Let me explain it to you like this. I'd rather have an 1800 lb total at 14 percent body fat, then be stuck benching 205 with my ass halfway off the bench but have a 6 pack and sub 10 BF%

Well, for me..not really. The stronger I am the better, especially squatting. If I can keep my legs driving through someone I could instead of just taking them down, take them out of the game. It also allows me to carry the ball with a lot more force.

oh tru, well thats exactly what i was trying to say in my first post. unless you play a competitive sport, im assuming youre talking about football, then p90x is all good, cus in the end you'll look like a boss, you'll be healthy and you'll get pussy

For you kids on P90X let me just give you some advice.


Do chinups properly please. There's a bit more to it than just getting your chin above the bar.


You need to properly lock your scalpulae down and back. Almost try and touch them and push them down. If you do it this way your back will actually get huuuge as opposed to nothing happening. A more proper term for it would be chest up, because you receive the most amount of stimulation and stress on your lats by bringing your chest riiiiiiight up to the bar.

I'm not done the one from this season. I still have spring ball to play then I can work on getting it together. I still wasn't sure what sport I wanted to play last year so I didn't make one.


No worries though, once she's done I'll shoot you a PM with a link.

Besides being younger than a large percentage of members of NS, you also seem to be in need of remedial english courses.

Referencing clearly inferior music containing grammar skills on par with those of a 6 year old shows your true mental age.

Check yo self for a minute and sit right there, while I tell you a story how I became the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

In West Philadelphia I was born and raised,
Eatin Walrus Cheeseburgers was how i spent the most of my days
Til a couple of pedos who were up to no good
Started giving away free candy in mah neighborhood
One of them's name was TesticlePaste and his rhymes were square
I capped his ho ass and became the Prince of Bel Air.

P90x Is good for hockey players. It works your core which is the most important part of your body in hockey. Also, it's good if you mix it with other things which is what i did. By itself i didn't see a huge improvement .

I'd say you're wrong.

Hockey players train terribly, and the ones who do train properly fuck everyone's shit up.

Doing heavy compound movements makes everyone a better athlete(gymnasts and the like are excluded of course). The issue with a lot of hockey players is they neglect their posterior chain, which leads to terrible injuries to your hamstrings and low back and glutes. Lots of deep squats and DL's will make you a beastly hockey player. Kid on the highschool team trained with me in the off-season and now he's faster than everyone else and due to his added weight hits like a machine.

Legs are what I'm most proud of. They're not pretty but they're 27 inches around cold, 28.5 after a W/O.

I agree. Core is pretty important in hockey but without a good base, your legs, you are gonna be lacking. I work bfs on squats and high reps on leg press. A good hockey player needs to be explosive and squats will get you there.


Whats your 10 rep on parallel squat?

I squatted 335 ass to grass for 12. I could probably hit 10 reps parallel with 365.
