I was wondering if the program P90X will work for me. I have been doing it for about two weeks and i love doing it. However i don’t like follow the nutrition guide, but i do eat healthy. I eat what my mother makes and what I make on my own. My mom likes to cook healthy so I think I’m good there. But also I don’t have the recovery drink. Is that important or is it not? Also I don’t take protein because i weigh 192 and i want to get down to 185 before i start to take any protein. Should I wait or should I start now taking the protein. Should I get the recovery drink as well. Also I was wondering since I don’t have the pull up bar yet or resistance bands I have been doing the back workouts with weights by doing them the same way as the bands. Is this a good idea or should I really consider getting a pull up bar. Please help. I want to the get the best results I can, I;m giving my all 110% every time and I enjoy doing the workouts. Please help me and if have any other suggestions about how can improve me on anything please tell me. Thanks
And also I am 19 years old and weight 192. I really want to do this to benefit myself, as well get abs and muscles, and a girlfriend…so if any suggestions please help…thanks

P90x seems to work for alot of people, I prefer the gym, but I know many who love it and got great results. Definately take the protein. Weight is not necessarily indicative of fitness. For example, you could be jacked or tubby yet weigh 192. Muscle is heavier than fat, so even if you lose fat and gain muscle (and appear more ripped!) your wieght won’t go down. Also, protein speeds recovery, meaning you have better subsequent workouts and burn more and more calories, getting in better shape, in the process. Get a pull up bar. Pull ups work many more muscles than weights do, (even in same position), and plus, lifting ur own weight is a testament of real-work, usable strength.
Eat 5-6 smaller meals per day, drink green tea and H20, eat what you want one day but eat STRICT the other six. Yeah it sucks sometimes but you’ll get ripped that much quicker. Bodybuilding.com has a great deal of nutrition / workout info too that would def b useful!
