Approach 3: “The Quick Option Approach”

We all get busy from time to time, some of us more than others. This P90X diet approach offers some quick food options that require minimal to no effort at all. You might be a busy person but you MUST EAT TO SUCCED WITH P90X. If you battle with your schedule the Quick Option Approach may be your best solution.

P90X LEAN PHASE 1:

Your aim should be to finish each workout and perfect each movement, as opposed to focusing on weight or resistance.

 

P90X LEAN PHASE 2:

Your body should have adapted quite well by this phase, and it will be time to start upping the weight you use for each exercise. Shoot for 12-20 reps and be at or near failure at the end of each set.

 

P90X LEAN PHASE 3:

“No pain, no gain” is what this phase is all about. At this stage you should be ready to give it all you got! This is the time to push it to exhaustion on each exercise. Drop the reps a little and try to fail at 10-12 reps with more weight. It’s time to put the X in “extreme”

P90X Chin Up Bar: Easy Installation

The P90X Chin Up Bar is a highly recommended piece of equipment. It’s main use is to help develop your shoulders, back and arms. Installing it is actually quite easy. The ingenious design allows nearly all of your weight to be distributed to the outside of the door frame, so only two small brackets are necessary. These brackets mainly support the weight of the bar itself, preventing it from physically sliding down the doorframe, and allowing you to easily remove the bar when not in use.

First follow the included instructions and assemble the P90X Chin Up Bar. Next, you need to locate a suitable doorframe. Choose one that’s out of the way from high traffic. You may also want to consider a location that’s near your TV where you’ll be following along with your P90X workout. The bar fits residential doorway openings (trim required) 24″ to 32″ wide (supports up to 300 pounds), so be sure to measure your doorway.

Next, you need to install the included brackets for the P90X Chin Up Bar either directly into the top trim or right above, into the wall itself. Be sure to install them on the appropriate side of the doorway—that is the side that the door opens in to.

Now, standing on a stool or step ladder, measure to find the center of the top of your door frame. From there, measure roughly 4″ to the left of that point and 4″ to the right, and mark each of these locations. This creates 8″ of space between the brackets. Next, screw in the 4 supplied screws per bracket and you’re done! Now all you have to do is grab your P90X Chin Up Bar and guide the flat top portion through the opening of the doorway and “hook” it firmly on the brackets. Feel free to pump out a few chin ups as your reward!
