Yeah when i was buying everything i needed for p90x i went to a lot of body building type forums and everyone rips on GNC. I went to Costco and bought tons of high protien food, engery bars, and shakes. I also bought some cretine and "Jac3d" which is susposed to give me engery online.

Someone gave me a Magic Bullet the other day and i got EAS Protien Shake stuff from Costco which is susposed to be pretty good. Ive been told to hold off on starting p90x because i got a lot of broken bones in my face, but i think im gonna try my first lesson this weekend and see how it goes. Maybe just do the stretching stuff a few times to start off.

Basically I shattered my cheek, crushed my eye socket, and broke my nose and temple. I always thought I had really strong bones, and I had never been knocked out even though Ive been in plenty of situations that would warrant breaking something or losing consciousness. Im doing a lot better, but my jaw doesn’t close properly which is getting really frustrating. When the surgeon told me I can start exercising in a month, I asked him about p90x – he said that may be too eXtreme, which I take as a pretty strong endorsement of p90x being legit.

So right before all this happened I bought tons of food from costco. I cant really chew anything right now and its damn hard opening your freezer or having a drawer full of beef jerky or protein bars and not be able to eat anything. Pretty much ive only eaten mash potatoes, mac and cheese, and ice cream. Ive lost about 15 pounds so far. But I wasn’t doing p90x to lose weight. Im a decently thin guy I just wanted to get in "high school" shape and have a base to build a little muscle. So now I havent worked out in a month, been on a low protein diet, and lost weight which I was hoping to use to build muscle. Not what I had planned but I think im going to officially start in April nonetheless.

I am sorry my friend. If you do a search in the parking lot you will find a similar topic in a thread started by me.

Been mugged before and it sucked.

I have one of these (and a blender) for protein shakes. Works great:




I'm holding off on P90X from a busted arm and ensuing surgery with plate and screws, but I have been working with some thicker resistance bands and getting things back in shape. Hopefully later in the year I can try the program.

GNC has great products, but they are so overpriced it's almost comical. Good play going to Costco. Also, Vitamin Shoppe is a good place. They have the same selection as GNC and are definitely cheaper.

This is another good place for supplements, but the name makes you feel like you're buying some serious roids, lol:
