Hey guys...new to the forums...
Well, i am shipping out to Ft. Benning, GA in July for basic and infantry training for the US Army and I want to prepare myself to be able to excel at the top of my class.
I am in decent shape...I'm currently 6'2 and 183. My leg muscles are the majority of my weight as I played soccer a lot, and have bigger bones. My problem is my upper body and stomach fat/flab. My stomach is the worst...It is "slim" in a way, but its all flab and I need it to be strong! I can bust out about 70-80 Marine style crunches (I know, because I did those in the recruiters office a few weeks ago), but my pushups are low and I cannot do one dead-hang pull-up. So, I definitely need some work because that won't fly in infantry training.
I looked up results of before and after of P90x on youtube and it blew me away. The downside is...its all personal motivation. Now crossfit seems more built for endurance than getting ripped...I may be wrong though I don't know.
I only have until July 13th (109 days), and I want to get started ASAP. I know p90x is 90 days so that makes that feasible, but I don't know if that would be a better option than crossfit...and is crossfit good enough to get me in as good as shape as p90x could in the same amount of time? Thanks.
