I dont get paid anything... and have no affiliation with any of those.

Velocity diet was a diet I tried, and I posted about it.

I used to hurt my hands on the bag, I bought those gloves, they worked, I posted about it.

Do you assume everything?

First thing I can say is... Its not just an infomercial...

Real good stuff imo, hard work and healthy small meals 6 meals a day.

Its nothing that the training expert wouldnt be able to put together themselves, but it does help put a plan together for you, switching up the training constantly.

Example of training days

Day 1 Chest and back and then ab ripper

This consists of mainly all different styles of pushups and all different styles of pull ups, and mixes in some weights.

For instance you do your max set of regular pullups in 30 seconds, as soon as thats over you do your max set of regular pushups, then you swtch to wide stance pushups and wide grip pullups, they are just piled on top of each other, you are borderline sweating and breathing hard about 8 mins in... 60 min workout

Ab ripper is right after this its 16 mins, but its nonstop, no breaks, you go from one set to the next, bicycle, reverse bicycle, scissors, all kinds of ****.. Pretty intense.

Day 2 Plyometrics aka Jump Training

This **** gets intense, lots of squating down and jumping up, back and forth, front and back, and nonstop.. Few breaks... This **** will have you breathing... 60 mins

Day 3 Shoulders and arms and ab ripper

Good weight lifting

Mixes in all kinds of sets do get every angle of your arms and shoulders

Day 4 yoga

Sounds easy, probably the hardest day of the week for me, definitely didnt like the sound of having to do yoga but i gave it a go... Lot of athlete style stretching..

Day 5 Legs and back, ab ripper

Lots of lunges, squats, bursts, side stepping, leaping mixed with more pullups and some weights

Day 6 Kenpo x

Basically starts off with shadowboxing, sounds easy... But they go hard they go fast, and they do a **** ton of reps.. All diff combinations I enjoyed this because it brought some boxing into it... But then it brings in kicks, all piled on top of each other, this **** will have you breathing...

Day 7 is rest or stretch...


Now that schedule stays like that for 3 weeks...

On the 4th week, all the days change to different workouts

On weeks 5-7 all the days change to different workouts

On week 8 it changes

Then weeks 9 and 11 are different.... And then 10 and 12 are also a different setup...

So you start off the 90 days getting used to it,and the farther in you go, the more the workouts change...

You hit every single muscle in your body, and you never plateau, the results dont slow down..



My diet has gone like this

9am: 6 egg whites and 1 yolk, onions peppers fat free parmesean, scrambled
One slice of whole wheat toast

1130am: banana

1:30pm: 4oz grilled chicken and a veggies (brussel sprouts, cauliflower, etc)

3:45pm: 1 cup of whole wheat pasta and low sodium pasta sauce, fat free parmesean, apple

5pm: workout

6:30pm: protein shake

9-9:30pm: 5 oz grilled salmon and a veggie

Target calories: 1500-1800

Theres an app where I punch in all the ingredients of everything i use and it tells me cals for each meal, carbs protein, sodium etc..




So far I am pleased, I am down a solid 6lbs, thats after eating, walking around weight.. Only 12 days in.. My definition, cardio, and strength is definitely picking up with doing a lot of moves and exercises I dont generally do.. Mainly plyometrics.

I give it the "real deal" rating.

Do the full 90 days then i will be impressed. Good luck brotha

[JoHnNyBoXeR]

i may have to order that so i can do it in the mornings after the run and do the gym at night..

[JoHnNyBoXeR]

Well i am no expert but i have read up loads of stuff when it comes to training/nutrition etc.. and a lot of it varies

But one thing they all seem to say is that you can lose 2 pounds healthy a week.. not sure how you are doing 6 pounds in 12 days without stripping muscle away tbh.

its gotta be alot of water weight though..

[PВ32]

Good to see its going well bro, I was gonna hit you up see how it was going for you.

I bought it myself but haven't started yet, I got the Pull up bar, and have dumb bells, pretty much ready to go, it's just picking the right time to start thats the problem for me,
I'm always busy.

Btw, you still swore 12 days in?

[*2TOUGH*]

u dum ass, you will ONLY lose weight with a calorie deficit.. therefore eating 1800 calories and it seems like your training is only 500 calories MAX, you aint gonna lose no fat.. your just gonna build loads of muscle...

Well, actually you are wrong. You got a right thinking but you are wrong. He can have a slightly higher then maintenance calorie intake and still burn off fat/build muscle at the same time.
What he needs though:
Very well balanced diet.
High frequency training. -- very important to keep that.

The reasoning behind this is very simple, actually. When your body builds and maintaince muscle it burns fat. When you train often enough and with the right diet your body simply does not have time to store fat because all the calories go for recovery/muscle building. And your body is not gonna go start building muscle if it does not register a caloric surplus. I would also actualyl suggest fasting on non-training days(if its not more often then once every 6-7 days) to shock body even further.

it's not like p90x is groundbreaking. its what most of my workouts are like.


problem is I can't get the diet thing down so I never get ripped up.


it's tremendous for you though and I encourage workouts to fatigue and supersets.

I never do less than 2 exercises back to back. usually 3 in a row, sometimes 4
