by popular demand, here's my current cut stack.

only the Xtend,whey, glucosomine is a year round staple

Hey gubuju -

I just noticed your cut stack includes both OxyElitePro and Jack3d. Any issues taking both? USP recommends not combining, but I've talked to lots of peeps that have done it for 4-6weeks with no issues. I've been using Jack3d pre-workout, and am thinking about adding a thermogenic (OEP specifically) but don't know if I should drop jack, skip the thermo, or do both

For me its not really a problem since I dose OEP at 6am then 1130am and wont be taking jack3d until 6pm usually. If you work out in the AM, I can see where that would be a problem.

However I only take jack3d/assault 3-5 times a week with a min of 2 days off.

Cool - that makes sense. I'm on an evening workout schedule and take Jack somewhere around 530pm-630pm. I think I'm going to hold off on OEP and give their Recreate product a try instead - supposedly a lower stim version. I'm going to limit it to the morning, and use Jack in the evening.

Oh, and as for progress - yesterday was the first day of P90X PhaseIII. I'm 'off' on total days, but by the program after making up missed workouts that is day 57 (64 calendar days in). 4 weeks of intense cardio/lifting followed by a final recovery week and I'm done.

Overall I'm down 15lbs of total weight, and down 6% of bodyfat since starting. I'm looking to focus the final weeks on maintaining muscle mass and shedding fat, so my goal is to drop another 10-15lbs. That puts the calendar right in early April - 2 weeks before I go to Cabo and a month+ before mAyOD. That gives a few more weeks here and there to fine tune things if necessary.

Good stuff. Keep it up.

I'm down 10 pounds and want to lose at least another 5 between now and early June. I'm lifting M-W-F and getting in some cardio T and TH. Resting on the weekends. Diet has been pretty clean, but I'm probably going to step it up in the last 30-45 days before my trip to try to really lean out.

last week of Phase I, then recovery next week...Laundry is in check, I just need my tan back!! Stayin' strong and focused on the end goal---May 17th.

Nice - good work. I find PhaseI harder than PhaseII - once you hit week 3 or so, as long as you stay durable and don't get sick/injured that second set of weeks is much easier. Also, PhaseII is where I usually start to actually 'see' changes.

Rocked PlyoX last night!

What are peoples thoughts on P90x vs. Insanity?

Sweet!...still wonder how the hell Tony is able to speak, while I huffing and puffing.

I did P90X last spring and in I'm in week 3 of it again this year. I have a good friend who has done both. He tells me that Insanity is much harder and not for those adverse to cardio. To me the diet is the hardest part--that's 18 hours a day vs. 1 hr. of hard physical activity a day.

[boykster]

I've heard similar - I actually have Insanity but have never tried it. The key difference is approach - Insanity is very very very cardio focused, where P90X is more focused on total body - cardio + bodyweight workouts + light weight training. If you're looking to build a decent base of muscle, then P90X is good. If you're looking to slim down with little or no goal of buffing up, then Insanity is probably a better choice.
