What also makes Chest and Back come together is the perfect blend of the cast.
Spend a little cash on either the P90X bar or something that resembles it because you will not regret it. Also invest in a pull-up system that is NOT a $10 doorway bar from WalMart. The kind used here are very unstable as I learned on my own. This was made before Tony created his new push-up stands ( I have the old metal ones! Haa!! They rock!! ). I highly advise getting some decent push-up bars and not the kind used in the video. I’m not sure a workout like this can ever get old! Even now I still want to puke after “Heavy Pants”. This is without a doubt one of the toughest workouts in P90X and for good reason: it’s just pushing and pulling until your upper body wants to die. It’s two rounds of 12 moves alternating between pull ups and push ups. Yep, even ten years later I have yet to see one top the original Chest and Back. For your benefit, every workout program mentioned here is also reviewed on this site and I have peppered the links throughout this review. At last…the review that was always meant to be. Now that I’m done self- gratifying congratulating myself, it’s time to break down the P90X system and see how each workout holds up ten years later. Today is the premiere source for home fitness video reviews and thanks to you all I did not have to get my hands dirty with multi-level marketing to do it. Sad to say, the original review for P90X on this site was pretty unimpressive as it was back in the day I never really did workout reviews. Wow, hard to believe the original P90X is still selling like…well, not selling like a Shake Weight. Yes, before the long list of 60 and 90 day fitness programs, heck…even before the most trusted name in fitness: the Shake Weight, there was the original P90X. You’re just getting extreme resistance at the bottom and sort of ‘meh’ resistance at the top, which means that you're only actually working for about one-third of each pulldown.Time to review P90X over a decade later.

Plus, as is always the case with the bands, you’re not really getting the benefit of full resistance for the full range of motion. Like it or not, pulldowns do not work the back in quite the same way as a pull-up, and no matter how much you do, you will not get half the results by working with the bands. I do not like them, Sam I am.īut that's not the only reason to avoid the bands. That being said, if you can't do a pull-up, I still would not recommend taking the alternative that Tony Horton shows you and performing pulldowns with a resistance band. One of the big ironies of doing body weight exercises to get in shape if you’re overweight is that, thanks to your higher body weight, you’re actually forced to lift substantially more weight than someone who isn’t overweight – and if you’re also out of shape, you’re forced to lift more weight with less muscle! If you sag, you’re changing the mechanics as well as shifting the weight in ways which may be more likely to cause injury.
In case you’re wondering why a straight line is so important, it’s because the goal in a push-up is to lift a static weight – in this case, your body weight – primarily by using the muscles in your chest and shoulders. This will stabilize your “plank” position. To help you maintain that straight line, concentrate on contracting your abdominal muscles by ‘pulling’ your belly button up and in, squeezing your glutes, and making sure to drive your heels backwards rather than leaning forward on your tiptoes. As a matter of fact, focus on making yourself into a straight line all the way from neck to ankles. Your head position should be neutral, neither drooping towards the floor nor looking up. Do not round your shoulders, but keep them lightly pulled back. We’re talking about spinal position and muscle control here.) Conversely, make sure that your butt doesn’t stick up in the air, either. (If the fat on your belly sags all on its lonesome due to the inexorable downward pull of gravity, that’s okay. This means that your back should be flat with no hip or belly sag towards the floor.
