Have any of you invested in dumbells like the Bowflex SelectTech 552's? If so, any thoughts on them and are they better for doing the workouts?

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

I am. Although, I did not have a lot to lose to start with. I was 5'7" and about 185. I have dropped to 175 since last august, but put on a good bit of muscle. I wish I had done some measurements. The pics really do not do justice. I want to drop another 5-10 lb and keep the muscle. I am looking for very lean.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Started week 12 of my hybrid, Back & Biceps/CardioAbs this morning. Tomorrow will be my last Max Plyo of this routine :ze

So, I thought I'd fess up and let you guys know that after more than 2 years of "assistance free" Beachbody, I finally caved and sought pharmaceutical help ;) Got tired of fighting and fighting to drop the last 7-10 pounds or so that have taken up residence around my 48 year old midsection. Started a regimen of OxyelitePro 2 weeks ago. Never tried a thermogenic before. As Shaun T says, "This sh*t is bananas." Only doing 1 pill/day (label says max = 3) but have dropped 2 pounds each week, and I can see a difference in my waist already. It's really the only place on my body that stores fat, caliper test everywhere else usually reads <4-5 mm, and my total bodyfat is around 10-12%. Appetite is suppressed, I'm not eating as much but don't feel a loss of energy. Sweat like a bastard during my workouts though. Only other changes have been to up my water intake, and dropped all other caffeine products including my pre-workout shake. Revs your HR, and it does change your bathroom habits a bit... My plan is to stick with this for 6 weeks or so (just in time for the beach :noon) and see how much more effective it can be. Probably not for everyone, but so far it's working for me.

We have the same problem. I cannot drop the love handles. I am only 33, so I am not resorting to Rx yet. Just turning up the volume a bit. Quit drinking so much too.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Just finnished Plyo and I am soaked!!! I still have the lower ab pouch that needs to come off also I am not using thermogenics but I do use pre workouts
and have had great rusults with them I am abel to bring it alot harder :tu

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

What are you taking for preworkout?

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

For me: I took N.O. Xplode for a long time, until I found Body Rush by Force Factor. That is great stuff. :ze My stepson has been using Assault by MusclePharm for a few months, he really likes it.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

I took NO Xplode once and felt like I was gong to die. I got very light headed.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

I rotate a few diffrent ones so I dont build up a tolarance to any one of them but my favortes are 1MR,Nano Vapor and Hemo Rage :tu

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Just did Pure Cardio for the first time and I am totaly drenched recovery drink never tasted so good!

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Yoga X. So freaking long... I don't mind the routine itself, and can get through every pose & position except Crane. But, damn--90 minutes is a long time.

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Max Interval Circuit. Oh yeah!!! Great workout today. Time for protein shake!!!!!!

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
 

Legs/Back and ARX for me today :tu

Re: Losing weight Insanity style with Kirk
