For everyone who says its hard and they'r lazy and shit, there's a perfect solution for all you fatties and skinnies out there, its my personal workout routine aimed at being lazy and still looking lean and very muscular. I started with this many many years ago(like 15 years or so)but you'll have gains from it after even a few months. This shit only works when you'r home(unless you'r really shameless ofcourse and don't mind hitting the floor every once in a while). So what I do is the following, you just start doing pushups, every day, for 3 months straight(don't mind the muscles need 24 hours rest stuff in beginning), lets say in beginning you can do 5-10 pushups in one go, you just do that, doesn't matter what time of the day, after a few minutes, hell even after an hour, you do another set, then whenever you'r cooking or you just took a dump, crank out another set, do as much each day as you can, whenever you feel like you have 30 or 60 second available to do it, you fucking do it. After a few months your sets will have increased so you will be able to do like 20 in one go, after a while you'r hitting like 300 reps in a day or so(divided over a full day). I'm at a point where I can do 1500-2000 a day quite easily without having any pain. The result of this is a very lean body, incredible strength and you don't even feel like you'r having to keep looking for time to workout(cuz you'r doing it whenever you can spare a few seconds).
Right now I started doing this with pullups and pushups, in just 1 month I went from being able to do 0 very wide grip pullups to 8 of them, and thats just by occasionally walking up to my pullup bar, cranking a few out and continuing with my game or whatever I was doing, the whole point is to not make it look like a workout routine or an obligation, whenever you see that floor or pullup bar, you crank out a few and just go on with other stuff. After like a few months you can start going away from the every day thingie and switch your muscle work, one day you just crank out many pushups, the next day you crank out the pullups, that way you muscles get their full 24 hour rest they need, and you will grow muscle fast.
I've had people walk up to me asking to be their personal trainer, and I'm like the laziest guy out there:LOL: Its all done with pure laziness in mind but the results speak otherwise.
Insanity you say, interesting choice for starters.
I'm half way threw my p90x2 program (it's harder then the popular p90x), the shit is brutal but it's getting easier, Insanity looks like it has a lot of cardio. It has a lot of pull-ups (you need to install a pull-up bar) a lot of balance work (supposedly when you're doing weights with balance work your body gets more connected), a lot of crazy push-ups (like on one leg and one arm or legs on the huge ball and arms on the medicine ball).
I've heard people over here combine p90x and Insanity they are very happy with the results, first they start with p90x and when they 'graduate' that (when it becomes to easy) they do it with Insanity.
@dingo
Try Veronika posni sir, it's delicious and of course very low fat.
I'm doing the second one for month and a half and it's a little bit easier. I think if someone's done p90x for 6 months or 9 months, without screwing around, he can do the exercises like Arnold does the 'Arnold press' like hot knife threw butter.
But yeah, you've gotta be in shape by then, I've seen pictures dudes are ripped from doing p90x&Insanity.
Back to the original post tho: what's your background when it comes to stuff like this, besthijacker? I haven't tried Insanity myself, but afaik it's even more brutal than p90x - if you aren't fit to begin with, I'd honestly start with something like p90 (which'll kill you by itself if you're on the couch potato level right now).
I mean sure, you can always tailor these programs to your level, but I find it much more satisfying if you can complete the workouts without "cheating" like that. And there's no better feeling than when you realize you can finally tackle the harder program that previously murdered you in the first 10 minutes.
Here's a 'motivational' p90x2 video, the guy really transformed (almost too much in that amount of time ) but you can see a lot of the p90x2 exercises and stuff you usually do in that program. The 2:11 one with legs on the big ball and hands on the medicine ball is brutal with a capital B, I like it because it's so hard but only managed like 3 pushups so far that's my record, that particular exercise is called 'the impossible/possible' and it's probably the hardest one.
