DONE!!! what a great feeling, thank you Kagar, Novaman, Watson, for being there sharing along the way, and of course Brad0284 and Mikest for all your help. I think I will take a week off and start another round, I'm thinking around the 9th of November.
Figured out how to make the pics smaller...

Amazing results, bro...just started Sept 28th and im on my fifth week...chest shoulders and tris did a number on me today but im proud i was able to do every workout...keep up the good work...its great motivation for me seeing that this program WORKS

spartan, thanks man, glad I could help. Week five!! good job sounds like you've comitted. Keep it up, Seemed I noticed my biggest changes started showing around that time (right after 30 days), that is when it all started to come together. Have you been taking pictures? Feel free to post them here, would like to see them...

All you got to do is keep pushing play...and of course BRING IT!!!

Alright Joe- Let's do this! I'm starting round 2 today!

Anyone thought of adding weights to the program to build more muscle? If so, how did you incorporate it into the program?

Here are my pics

Okay- I just did chest and back and decided to sub in bench pressing with various grip widths and inclines for the push ups to keep the reps at 10 or below. The only problem is I can't keep up with the video's pace because of the time it takes to switch the setups, and I'm so exhausted that I nearly hurt myself (even though I am using a system with safety bars to keep me from REALLY hurting myself)

Other than the bench I think for everything else I can just follow the dvd's.

Bring It!!

Joe,

let's get a good thread going!

I knew Joe and Novaman from round one. I'm thrilled with my results, but have more work to do. I just finished week one of round two. (tomorrow is rest/stretch).

Anyone doing their first round I'd encourage you to join this thread! It really helps to have others going along with you. We made it through round one, so Decide Commit Succeed!--we will be here for anyone that joins us on the ride.

Joe, I have a question for you----your back looks much further along than mine. Did you use bands instead of pull-up bar?

When I started round one, I could do Zero pull ups of any kind. I used the chair, and still, I can only do 5 chin-ups, 3 wide grip pull ups. I think I should quit using the bar for now, knock it out with the bands, then go back to the bar later. Any thoughts? advice?



Thanks

Ken

Kgar, your are a different man!!! way to go!!! you look great. i didn't even recognize you in that first picture, awsome...

thanks for the props on the back, that is one of my favorite things that changed the most.
I did pull-ups only. when i started i could only do 5-6. I would do as many as i could then use the chair (I mean really use the chair) to get my reps up, I would do another 10 or so with the chair; each set. I have now been able to do 22 pull-ups!!! I read a good idea from another thread, (this guy had awsome results) he said after he would max out on pull ups (and with the chair) he would stand on the chair and do reverse pull ups. Pushing himself till his chin was over the bar, letting go of the chair and slowly let yourself down, seemed like a good idea, try that and see if it works for you. Also if you can only do 3, stop at 2, take a 10-15 second brake, and do another 2. Next thing you konw you'll be doing 4 then 5... Switch off using the bands, but don't give up all together on the pull-ups.

and of course BRING IT!!! EVERY REP...

Great results. I waited two weeks to start round two. It was a nice break. I am in week six now. I had some round two buddies in another site but they all dropped out. It takes a little more motivation once you are in good shape like you are. Once again, nice job.

Novaman, I would like to join in for the ride. It has been difficult to stay motivated but I have only missed two days in the first six weeks of this round. I have 120 day pics but can't find my cord for my digital camera to download them. You guys all look great and the hard work really shows. It is amazing to me that 90 days can change someone both physically and mentally in so many ways. I ordered the Fountain of Youth Yoga DVD from this site. It is supposed to be 45 minutes long and just as good. I can't do another 1 1/2 hours of YogaX much longer..........Keep pressing play!

alphasl, Welcome to the thread Bro. good to have you. like novaman said the three of us have stuck together from day one. Really helps with motivation and accountability.
let me know how you like the 45 min Yoga, the 90 min is a little much for me as well.
Find that cord and post some pics when you get a chance.

novaman, about the diet, I was very disciplined (zero cheat meals the whole 90 days). I'm sure that had alot to do with it. along with the CLA helped shead some fat, keeping my metabolism up.

This week break has been great, but I'm glad it's almost over. I've had to force my self to chill out. I've done a few sets of push ups and got on the pull up bar a couple of times. I'll be starting round 2 on monday.
