What People are Saying

	Correct form. A must! It's so refreshing to see Good video examples of how to actually perform exercises with the correct form. Actually it would be even better to see larger videos and with multiple views per exercise. Dumbbells... are the master tools of the world of Free Weights, because they are so versatile. They are put to good use in the workout program P90X. Love it! Created about 1 year ago by toby39
	I used to do almost exactly this workout, but then I got a trainer for a day and he suggested that it was better to work opposing muscle groups: so, e.g., chest and back, or bis and tris. The thing about this workout is every one of those exercises uses your tris, which pretty much will destroy your tris for the whole week. That makes it a lot harder to do any shoulders or chest the rest of the week. Created over 3 years ago by esprit
	Comments: I have chosen to do this workout because it is something that I can do at the school track on the benches, if i bring my own weights. That way I don't have to do it at the gym! Created over 4 years ago by amclouse
	substitute I don't have a bench to handle my olympic weights. is there a substitute to bench press? Created over 4 years ago by shooter
	Comments: This is a good workout. Ideas are very basically, tough to go wrong with same-day primary/secondary muscles groups and the reps are just in range to initiate muscle build Created over 4 years ago by drj
	A few questions 1. Are you supposed to do both workouts at the same time/day? 2. Is there a sequence of exercises? 3. Is it really correct to do 3 bench press type exercises in a row? 4. How much rest between sets and between exercises? Many thanks Created over 4 years ago by lecycliste

	Why I chose this workout I chose this workout because this is something that you can do at home as long as you buy a few free weights. This workout also includes 6 different exercises which give many different varities. Created over 5 years ago by dmedrano
	Print Out It would be nice if there was a function that allowed you to print out the workout in a neat fashion - which includes an illustration of the maneuver. Anyone know how to do this? Created over 5 years ago by marktcoleman
	why Hi,how come im only with old guys on this work out??anyway im new to this gym stuff so you guys should help me out,PLEASE!! Created over 5 years ago by Gk
	Yeah, I would suggest using a separate program for leg exercises. Created over 6 years ago by stephenb
	I like this program, but... It neglects working out the legs. Leg muscles burn more calories than upper body muscles, so I feel it is important to work those as well. Good for an upper body workout though. Created over 6 years ago by absmith
