Hybrid XI Project Plan

P90X gave me so much new muscle, and INSANITY gave me so much cardio stamina while making me so much faster, that I decided to make a hybrid workout consisting of both of them. I call it Hybrid XI: X for P90X or The X, and I for INSANITY.

Here is a Link to the plan.

The foundation of the plan is the resistance workouts from The X on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I will change the first month on this by shifting these to Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday to help line me up with Gena. We love working out together, but she isn't a big fan of weights. There are other ways to get resistance training, by the way.

Phase II I will switch up the regularly scheduled Monday (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps) and Wednesday (Back & Biceps) workouts, placing Back & Biceps on Monday to put some more distance between back workouts... Friday is Legs & Back. I carry that same method into Phase III when Phase I and II workouts alternate weeks.

In between resistance workouts is a mix of P90X, P90X+, and INSANITY cardio/endurance workouts. The fourth week of Phase I and II is a rest week of light workouts and some P90X+.

As with all my little projects, growth will be measured periodically to keep me moving forward and to be able to show people how I did it and what my results were. For this fitness plan, I will measure monthly some performance metrics as well as circumference and caliper measurements.

Checkout the SMARTER methodology for this. Link 1, Link 2.

So let's get started with the metrics:

Pull-ups- max in 2 minutes, breaks allowed.
Feb 28- 23 regular grip
Push-ups- max in 2 minutes, chest to floor, breaks allowed.
Feb 28- 68
In&Out Crunches- Max in 2 minutes, rest up or down.
Feb 28- 104
Wall Squats- max time, no breaks.
Feb 28- 2min 40 sec
Tricep Extensions- 25lb dumbbells, one arm at a time
Feb 28- 13 each arm
Bicep Curls- 35lb dumbbells, both arms same time
Feb 28- 17
Shoulder Press- 45lb dumbbells, both arms same time
Feb 28- 12

Weight-
Feb 28- 161lbs
Waist-
Feb 28- 31"
Hip-
Feb 28- 31.5"
Right Arm-
Feb 28- 13"
Left Arm-

Right Leg-
Feb 28- 22"
Left Leg-
Feb 28- 22"
Body Fat %- Jackson Pollack 3 fold caliper measurement
Feb 28- 11.85%

I will keep my calorie intake below 2800 calories per day while keeping percent of calories from protein at 30% of consumption.

Supplements will include P90X Peak Performance, P90X Results and Recovery Formula, and Beachbody Joint Support Formula. I will likely have Shakeology about everyday also.

So that should be enough to get me off and running! Wish me luck!
