More About Coach Scott Black

My name is Scott Black. I want to welcome you to my web site. Thank you for your interest for becoming in-shape, losing weight, or starting your own business.

As of Jan 1 2010I am 38 and I weigh 138lbs. My weight has dropped from a previous 165 lbs. This of course was over a decade ago. Most of my weight loss occurred after a freak skydiving accident that occurred while I lived in Italy.

My current goal is to achieve 155 lbs within 6 months and achieve 165 lbs within 12 months. My body fat will stay around 7% during this transition.

I have been a fitness trainer for the last 17 years. I became a passionate health educator after my mother passed away from cancer. Unfortunately she was only 38 when she died.

I have been fighting against the medical institution ever since. They have failed us in so many ways that I cannot even begin to tell you on this blog. Let's put it this way. The medical institution kills over 250,000 people every year. This is more than any war or any terrorist regime. I am sickened for the fact that most Americans do not care about this. I have told hundreds of people these facts and it appears that Americans are very callous. I have found that we only listen to the News Media. Thus we would rather find out what Paris Hilton is doing.

So instead of continuing to fight against this murdering regime, I have decided to help people to become healthier so they do not have to go to a hospital.

More facts about my life will be posted sometime very soon.

My New P90X Workout

With my first 90 day cycle complete, I find myself back at it. My second round of P90X begins on 4/22/2010. If you have been following the blog then you know that I am doing this again because this time I will be customizing my program to now become a Mass Building routine.

Simply put this means 3 main differences from the classic P90X schedule.

  1. Little to NO cardio
  2. Higher calorie input (specifically higher protein amounts)
  3. Higher weights and lower reps to be performed

Other aspects of the program will stay in balance. Stretching is always a must so I will be incorporating the Stretch X and yes even the Yoga X workouts. I will also be adding just a few movements to the routines that are not on the DVD sets. This will be explained a little later. Remember that P90X can be customized for almost any desire you are looking for. I have already posted a few custom articles and later today I will post how to customize your P90X program for running!

Here is a brief breakdown o my new workout:

Block 2, phase 3
Week 12

Targeted number of reps: 4 to 6 - I will use the proper weight to make sure I come to failure between 4 to 5 reps.

Here are a few words on my P90X diet. 

My basic daily break down will look something like this:

  • Calories - 2860
  • Protein - 227 g
  • Carbs - 340 g
  • Fat - 74 g
  • Fiber - 54 g or higher
  1. I will be eating 5 times a day
  2. Each meal will have around 45 grams of protein ingested
  3. I will be double loading on creatine for the first 4 weeks then a maintenance load until 3 weeks towards the end. At that point I will double load again until the program has been completed.
  4. My meals will be a balance of carbs (complex), protein and fat.
  5. I have elected to get my fat from EFA sources only.
  6. I will probably gain a little more fat during this phase but I will burn any excess fat once I start the Insanity program.
  7. My water intake will be around 1 gallon each day
