argh. all of you guys + a couple coworkers are making me want to do this.
but the only thing besides how lazy I am that keeps me from starting is the impending feeling like total shit until I get into shape. I hate the head throbbing out of breath, nauseous feeling from working out while out of shape.
I'll get it together soon. I occationally get really motivated and go hard for 6 weeks and get ripped. Then something interrupts me and I don't get back into it for 2 years.

i've been wondering about p90x, too. looks like it works.
guys who've done the program...if you had to separate the two aspects, which do you think is more attributable to the great results: diet or the regimen?

To do p90 correctly you need to be in pretty good shape. It's not a beginner's program. If you are out of shape you might do 25% of the reps the guys in the program you watch do the first time.

Yes and no. To keep up with Tony you need to be in excellent shape but he says to do what you can and go at your own pace. My pace was slow the first week. Three weeks in and I can do just about everything at almost their pace. Tony even says in the videos that the guys in the test group couldn't do this stuff for a months. I don't want people to think that they need to be 10% bodyfat to do this because you don't.

Look on craigslist, there are usually tonnes from people that thought it was a good idea then bailed after the first disc 

Vader I did not know you were doing this.I just ordered a set of DVD.
I am going to alternate
90days on the P90X for leaning and cutting
and then 30 days of bulking with heavy lifting.
rinse, repeat
I have always been a power lifter even trained a time or two with Bill Kazmaier during my college days at SWAT gym (serious workouts and advanced training) Closed there doors about 3 years a go
SWAT was the best gym I have ever seen; if there was a demand for a custom machine Kaz would build it for us.
