I have never gone through the entire program thing but that's not why I bought it.

I'm already in very good shape and exercise 4-5 times a week. I was however very impressed with the variety so bought it for that purpose and perform one of the workouts when I want to mix things up from marathon/triathlon and weight training. My favorite workouts are the Core Synergistics, Ab Ripper X and Back and Biceps. I'd highly recommend the program to anyone wanting to start working out simply looking to change up their workout a bit.Got my ex-girlfriend into using it and she looks freaking awesome! She dropped like 15 lbs and is ripped!

Started it twice, failed at week six both times. One day my right shoulder just said 'no more.' Eventually had surgery but never recaptured the groove. The injury was NOT p90X induced!

Despite my personal failures, p90X is the best workout experience I've ever had. I loved it! It is intense! I will probably start again this summer.

Forewarned! Mark out the time on your schedule. I would estimate 1:30 hours per day. If you can't notch that out, you are much more likely to fail! That was my experience, anyway. YMMV

For those doing p90X now........BRING IT!

Got the DVDs, just need to get the equipment together now.

Tried Plyo-X today since I dont need much more than my legs (which I just about lost).

I'm on week five. Couldn't keep the nutrition aligned but I'm getting stronger overall and some nice looking arms and back.

Yesterday I yanked my back out with 15 minutes left in the shoulders n' arms workout - I'm pissed. Lower back just below the rib cage.

Tip of the day: Lift those dumbells with by bending your knees! Don't lean over! Always use good form! I knew better too - I just lost my form and now am paying the price! This will set me back a day or two unfortunately.....grrrr.

I'll be jumping on the eliptical and weigh machine today to get the heartrate moving and burn isolate some shoulder/arm muscles to keep pace with the program. I aim to get back on track tonight or tomorrow. I'm stretching in between and will tough out the diet.

Don't forget the diet guys - it SUCKS but you can do it for 90 days. After that you can modify to fit your lifestyle. But they go hand in hand!

ETA: 1:15pm EST - still hurtin'.....gonna have to find someway to break a sweat and hopefully get this program in today. If not, I'll have to do something isolated...maybe one more round of arms and shoulders if I can find a position that doesn't stress my middle back.

The pull ups are 1/3 of the exercises in the chest/back dvd...so long as you can get to it and crank out your reps it won't matter where you place it. I have a power tower as well and my pull ups orient me away from the TV. Doesn't matter though when you're doing pull ups....as you'll likely have veins popping out of your forehead and grunting trying to pull your ass up to the top!

Having a 10X10 or 5X10 (minimum) open spot in front of the TV is important. You can put the equipment (dumbells, bands, mat, chair, etc) on the outskirts.

Wait till tomorrow!

My yanked back is just about where I need it to be to get going again....though I may give myself one more day to completely be over it so I can go full tilt again...only this time with more self awareness about the stupid details that'll take you out of the game!

Sad when you get hurt reaching for the damn dumbell!!!!

Use a chair and put one leg on it. Move the chair back a little at a time to make it harder until you don't need the chair anymore.

Any of those two methods will work. Struggle, struggle, and struggle some more. You'll get there. Gotta build up that muscle. You can do it. I only did 5 my first week. I'm up to 8 now. You WILL improve.

I have the pull up bar and bands, don't really care for the Bands and just ordered a set of Power Blocks.

I liked the p90x workout program alot. It isn't quite my style so I am doing something different now, but I was very impressed with the results from a program that is so much calisthenics. If you follow the diet to a T, then you will get in very good shape. The only weakpoints I found in the workout were the lack of exercises targeting the lower back and hamstrings, everything else gets hammered. If I were to do it again I would supplement the leg days with some stiff leg deadlifts(correct form or you'll regret it) and maybe some leg curls of some sort.
