March 11, 200818 yr Have any of you ever done kettlbell workouts? I haven't but after watching the video on this, I feel the same effect could be done using a dumbell.
March 11, 200818 yr I haven't but after watching the video on this, I feel the same effect could be done using a dumbell. For this particular workout I'd say that a dumbelll could be substituted for the kettlebells since it's only clean and jerk.
March 11, 200818 yr I would like to try the p90x, after I try this workout. How much does the p90x cost? $130 bucks is what I found. They offer a 90 trial period with a money back guarentee.
March 11, 200818 yr http://www.menshealth.com/cda/article.do?site=MensHealth&channel=fitness&category=workout.plans&conitem=5e1790ecab7e1110VgnVCM20000012281eac____ Hope I dont get in trouble for posting this but here is a write up on it. Also shows some video's of the movements. a) Pullups - 25 reps b) Deadlifts with 135lbs - 50 reps c) Pushups - 50 reps d) 24-inch Box jumps - 50 reps e) Floor wipers - 50 reps f) Single-arm Clean-and-Press with 36lbs Kettlebell - 50 reps g) Pullups - 25 reps Now I changed mine for the first week, I am only doing 150 reps right now. How was the P90X workout? I was reading about it on line today. When you say you are doing 150 reps are you just cutting all stages in half?
March 11, 200818 yr Author For this particular workout I'd say that a dumbelll could be substituted for the kettlebells since it's only clean and jerk. Thats what I am using a 40 LBS dumbell.
March 11, 200818 yr Author When you say you are doing 150 reps are you just cutting all stages in half? Yep I just cut it down to 150 instead of 300.
March 11, 200818 yr How long should you do the 300? 1 month, 2months, etc? Is this once a day or what? I may try to pull this off at my gym.
March 11, 200818 yr Haven't tried it due to the fact it would take about 4 hours for me to get through the first set of 25 pull ups.
March 11, 200818 yr Haven't tried it due to the fact it would take about 4 hours for me to get through the first set of 25 pull ups. Me too, I would have to do them in increments for sure. I've never been a pull upper kind of guy.
March 11, 200818 yr Me too, I would have to do them in increments for sure. I've never been a pull upper kind of guy. Me either, everything else looks fine except for the first and last sets.
March 11, 200818 yr Haven't tried it due to the fact it would take about 4 hours for me to get through the first set of 25 pull ups. I go to the Y here in Henderson and they have a pull up machine that is weight assisted. It is great for helping you work up to doing with no help.
March 11, 200818 yr p90X is a life changine exercise regimine.....it was awesome. After see the post on here I starting doing so research on p90x. Did you do the full 90 days? Has anyone else tried it? I am seriously thinking about trying it but was leary about spending $130 on it. Is it as good as adveritsed?
March 11, 200818 yr Author How long should you do the 300? 1 month, 2months, etc? Is this once a day or what? I may try to pull this off at my gym. I honestly don't know. I am doing it 3 - 4 times a week for 2 months to start. It is a full body workout so your body needs a break.
March 11, 200818 yr I haven't but after watching the video on this, I feel the same effect could be done using a dumbell. I tried this work out today...(I did not do the full 300 reps) and I did this with the dumbbell.
