I was hoping to get started on p90x soon... does anyone have any great stories/ suggestions/ criticism with it? I'd love to hear anything you've got!
+1. I riding buddy swears by Crossfit and is a pretty decent cyclist, adventure racing nut and runs marathons whenever he likes so my fat ass is obviously curious is I can turn this pile of pudge into even half of that.has anyone tried this vs crossfit?
"somewhat" similar.has anyone tried this vs crossfit?
For me it looked like P90X was a better fit personally because all I needed was a pull up bar, bands, and push up bars (optional). I use my ball at times for some of the stuff, too. But Crossfit looked like you needed more equipment like the bells and stuff.has anyone tried this vs crossfit?
I use mine for stuff, too.....but mostly I just end up dehydrated.I use my ball at times for some of the stuff, too.
I agree. That would be catastrophic...I saw a show on it today. It made a chick hot and a dude look weird. I'll take my chances on the bike. I don't want to be a hot chick, or any more weird than I already am.
PM sentCan anyone tell me that has the nutrition guide if there is and specific schedule to eat with? I got the DVD's sans nutrition guide, but I did manage to figure out the amounts I am supposed to eat, but I don't know when to eat them....If that made any sense...
P90X=60 bucks>Crossfit 100 bucks a monthCrossfit>P90x
With that said, I would echo the sentiment that you need some basic coaching in Olympic lifts to ensure proper form and stay injury free. Yes it does take more equipment however depending on your desired goals, it may be worth it. The functional strength/stability gained from crossfit is impressive. There are also many variations, like Crossfit Endurance, Starting Strength, SEAL Fit so you can tailor it to your liking.
In regards to diet, favorites from the Crossfit boards include Zone and Paleo amongst others. Generally eating "clean" is the standard, but it is hard to meet the caloric requirements if you're looking to build mass.

I'd love to do crossfit, but its too expensive.
