I have been doing the workouts for a week now and feel like I have had my calves smacked with a sledgehammer! I am at work right now, and can barely walk. Hoiping the end results are worth the pain, lol! Just wondering if anyone else is/has used this program, and did it work for you?

I do this now, the muscle pain will go away after you do this a couple of weeks but your muscles will still be sore after the workouts as long as you are pushing yourself through them. Also, keep in mind that if you want to even get close to the results they claim, diet is huge. Getting that dialed in is key. This is the part I have a problem with, I eat well all week but I love pizza on the weekends, lol.

 

Also, if you have questions go to their forums they really do help you out and respond in a timely manner...

Yup, did the whole 90 days. Lost about 28 lbs, got down to 165. Yes, the diet is a huge part of the program. I cut out all soda, majority of sugar, no fast food, all chicken and veggies. The workouts are tough, no doubt. Stay with it, you won't be dissapointed.

I am just tryin' to stay under 1500 calories (grilled fish, chicken, and fruits/veggies) drink a ****load of water, and make it through phase 1. I think I may repeat phase 1 if I see good results, before moving to phase 2. It kills me that guy is 50 and goes through those workouts like nothing. I guess it is his job though! Check for the modified move...

 

does it have anything to do with the P90 submachine gun?
No, I don't think so Kev, lol.

Keep in mind that Tony Horton has probably been working out like this all of his life and has never been overweight. LOL

 

I started a second round doing the doubles program about a month ago while taking a creating supplement and gained about 5 lbs. I stopped that now cause my goal is to cut fat not gain muscle.

 

I read somewhere that Tony's personal diet is insane. No Meat, no dairy, no alcohol, low sugar. That is my problem as well, I like beer :0(

My wife and I started it last spring. It was tough to keep up being out of town here and there and we ended up stopping. Our plan is to start it again the Monday after Thanksgiving (mainly because we will be out of town for a few days). It is a great workout, like many have stated its the food thing that kills you, me included

I tried starting that last week, but I've been so busy with work I failed at making it a commitment. I was pretty sore, but a key to the soreness is to drink plenty of water, at least twice what you should normally and to stretch any and every chance you get. If you did your workout right you will still be sore, but they can help you recovery and shorten the time your really sore.

I'll just keep plugging away at it.... I am looking to just lose weight myself. I started at 248lbs and would like to see 205 before its all said and done. A guy here at work is doing it, and talked me into tryin it out. The diet SUCKS, but I want results!

 

I have been drinking at the minimum 80oz. of water per day

Jason, I've used it before a couple different ways. Creatine help to make more muscles, but it also hydrates your muscles so you recover quicker and are stronger quicker. If you still have some try using it in half doses, follow the directions on loading but then after that cut the dose to half and see if that helps. That seemed to really help me feel less sore quicker, which helps you push harder and get more out of every workout.

Yea, I was not taking the recommended dosage on the container just one serving after my lifting work out. I agree it did help in my recover and making my muscles less sore but the muscle gain is what I want to avoid. Gaining muscle has never been an issue for me just cutting fat, which like I said before I know is related to my diet which still perplexes me cause I do not eat fast food or junk out of a box but I do like to go out to eat once or twice a week...

 

I was once over 250 (about 4 - 5 years ago) I started training and got down to 200 at my best and was able to maintain 205 for quite some time. Did one round of P90X and maintained (maybe gained a pound or two) but saw definite results in muscle tone. I took a month off and then started the doubles routine with the creatine and within the first two weeks, I gained 5lbs easily. I would like to maintain my current size and just try to get more defined. That is my dilemma.

1500 Calories? Damn cuttin it low! Make sure you don't go too low because the extra demand with the workouts will deplete glycogen stores and if there's not enough daily calories, your body will start storing fat and catabolizing muscle tissue instead of building it- all fat will get stored because your body thinks it needs to conserve energy and lean tissue is the first energy source your body goes to after sugars are used up. You may lose weight but you don't want it to be from lean tissue...cause then your body fat % will actually be higher and your resting metabolic rate will actually be lowered.

 

...I studied this stuff lol.

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      By davester · Posted

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      By fm2176 · Posted

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou

      Is it an optical illusion in the pic or is the truck really squatting that much horribly?

      It's Been a Long Time...

      By fm2176 · Posted

      My initial introduction was here.  It's hard to believe that I last posted in February 2013, having just deployed to Kyrgyzstan.  Since then, I've retired from the military and the 2006 Sierra SLT Z71 that first brought me to these pages was lost.  I went forward to Afghanistan in March 2013 and did a lot of sitting behind a computer on brigade staff.  Within 18 months of getting back to the States, I was selected for Drill Sergeant duty, after which I moved back to Virginia (my home state and where I served from 2004-2008).  That '06 Sierra did a lot of driving between Louisiana, Georgia, and Virginia, and ended up with nearly 320k miles by 2022.  By then, the registration had been expired for a couple of years, but the pandemic had all but eliminated tickets for such transgressions.  Admittedly too, I usually drove my wife's SUV or son's car the 2-3 times a week I had to report to work.  Teleworking sure was fun while it lasted.   I started my retirement leave four years ago and stored the Sierra at my sister's house.  A big mess was made when her fiancé passed while she was taking care of business out-of-state in late-2024, and his son pretty much mismanaged everything to do with the estate.  Even so, I was assured that my truck was safe... until it wasn't.  I found out that my truck had been scrapped about four months after the son took over everything.  There's nothing I could do; I'm 1000 miles away and it was technically abandoned property since he'd even trespassed my sister from her own house (she had no claim to it as she wasn't married, and the fiancé was the sole owner).     Anyway, today I got my second Sierra.  This is a 2010 SLE 2WB CCSB with a little over 200k miles on it.  It's got the 5.3L I'm familiar with and should handle what I need it for.  Hauling stuff that won't fit in the Transit Connect (yep, I sold out, but that's the wife's vehicle) and towing a few times a year tops.  The price seemed decent, considering how much people sell their trucks for in the Deep South: $4500.  I've seen similar trucks listed for more than double that.  I got it from a coworker who left his tag on until we transfer the title next week (Louisiana requires a notary for transfers), so I've been driving it all day.  The rear speakers don't work, which is one of the things that brought me back to these forums earlier.  I can't say how active I'll be as a poster, but I'll be scouring the archives while I find out every little thing I can about the 2010s and particular nuances/problems with my truck.   It's definitely not a GMC, but I got another Willys Jeep a few months back as well, so I'm almost at the same place I was when I first joined gm-trucks.com.  My old 1960 DJ3A was sold back around 2010 or 2011; my current Jeep is a 1946 CJ2A.  So, I've got a slightly newer GMC and a much older Jeep.  I kind of wish I still had that F-250 I had way back when too.  The Dakota is long gone and was technically my brother's truck, though I had it registered and insured.  The F-250 had to go when my grandmother's house was foreclosed on due to mismanagement around 2012 or so.     Hopefully anyone that made it this far isn't too annoyed.  I tend to be long-winded, but I'll be doing more reading than posting in the coming months.
