With resistance, you know that you need to give your muscles time to repair, so schedule your lifting at the gym to allow the rest time you need. -Mike Hello Craig,

As long as you are getting enough protein from the foods you are eating, you will get the same great results. The P90X Recovery Formula is HIGHLY recommended to help relieve muscle soreness and to aid in recovery. -Mike Hello Kelly,

Of course the diet that comes with P90X is geared more towards losing weight and slimming down, so if you want to bulk up, you might want to use another diet. I can't say what your results will be, but with a 90 day program, you have a lot of time to feel things out. -Mike Hi Michael,

You might be sacrificing size in your case. You can always add more resistance if you want a complete upper body or lower body workout. You do have three days of resistance per week. -Mike Michael,

I am starting off with the fat shredder phase. My question is, when we get to the end of the first month, and are getting ready to switch to phase two, do I keep my previous calculation of being a level two? Or do i need to recalculate my nutrition level before I start the second pahse? After calculating my nuitrtion level, I calculated that I was at level two.

I gain strength but I lose appearance. Will the approach of P90x yield similar results or will I be able to continue gaining muscle mass over long recovery periods?
