This is a great source of protein with low carbs. I have been using SunWarrior Plant-Based Protein since Fall 2011. So while I consume 200+ grams of protein a day, my carbs would way exceed where they need to be. Although there is plenty of protein in the plant world, it is challenging to find foods high in protein and low in carbs. Consuming 4,000+ calories on a vegan diet AND nailing these macronutrient ratios is very challenging. This actually plays in my favor with one exception. They recommend a macronutrient ratio breakdown if 25% Protein. Unlike P90X2, The Beast has no Vegan option in the meal plan. I am okay with the Whey Protein in the Base Shake and Fuel Shot supplements, but wanted to avoid dairy elsewhere. Given I hve just come off The Ultimate Reset and I was at my lowest weight in some time, I decided to add 20% to what my true CIM is and hence targeted 4000-4200 calories!Īnother challenge for me was that I wanted to stay Vegan throughout the program. Well, I know myself pretty well and my CIM seems to be more around 3300-3500. so they recommend a 20% increase to 3250 to BUILD up. CIM is your Caloric Intake to Maintain Weight. “The Book of Beast” walks you through the calculations and recommended that I add 20% to my CIM. The first step in any program is figuring out your Caloric Intake. However, I have learned a thing or two about my body since first picking up P90X in December 2009. My goal is to follow the program as close to design as possible. You can read all about the 4 Supplements that come with Body Beast HERE. It is what you do for the 23 hours of the day you aren’t working out that will yield the best results. In fact, Sagi says this is just as important (if not more) than the workouts. Nutrition / Supplementsīeast Supplements and Beast Nutrition go hand in hand, especially in a muscle mass programs. So I simply add my own warm-up before the start and extend the cool-down pass the end. I will do a separate review on the workouts, but the consensus is “Yeah Baby!” My only real complaint is that the warm-up and cool-downs are somewhat pathetic. Make no mistake, these are hard core weight lifting routines. So here is the calendar I followed for the first 21 days. The last thing I added on was a couple of days of an extra bicep / forearm workout based off on 1-on-1, Vol. And since you do each of those workouts 4 times in the BUILD phase, I alternated BUILD and TEMPO to do each of them twice. You will notice in the calender you can change the BUILD workouts for Chest/Tris and Back/Bis to the corresponding TEMPO workouts. There are optional TEMPO workouts that you can also buy with the program. So while there is a rest day on the Beast calender, I am doing Yoga. I think this is my P90X blood coming out in my me, but I am die hard believer in Yoga at least once per week. Maybe it is that P90X is engrained in my head, but I just feel abs should be done 3 times per week.Ģ) If you look at the calendar, you will quickly notice there is no recovery / yoga day. So I made two major modifications from the standard template.ġ) Abs is only once per week.

As usual, I created my ULTIMATE worksheets so you can download them HERE to see the calendar. WorkoutsĪs I said, the first phase of the program is called BUILD. And he wanted to see the pictures! Alright Sagi, you have my commitment. He asked that I commit for 90 days and I will gain at least 10 lbs of muscle mass. You just haven’t done the right program yet!”. I had done X, X2, Insanity, Asylum, you name it. When I met Sagi Kalev at the 2012 Summit in June, I had the opportunity to tell him that I had a real challenge gaining muscle mass. “You just haven’t done the right program yet!” This phase is only 3 weeks long, but I am quite surprised at my results so far…more on that later. There are 3 phases to the program and I have completed the first phase (called BUILD). It is the first program from Beachbody that is a program 100% targeted at muscle mass. There is so much to talk about with Body Beast.
