If moaning and bitching about Yoga X’s 90 minute runtime were currency Tony would live on a mountain of gold-plated Unobtanium. He’s Italian after all.Īlternatives: Body Beast Bulk Arms, One on One Just Arms Yoga X I think Tony is just a flirting kind of guy and means nothing by it. There is a lot of talk out there about Tony gushing over Drea a little thick and I suppose there is some merit to that. Oh yes, and don’t forget the tip of the day… Tony shows both options so everyone comes out a winner here. Most workouts since have the opposite objective which is probably better for ladies, but us dudes want a bit of mass. 95% of all the moves involve low reps and high weight. Shoulders and Arms is about as close to a traditional weight routine as it comes. Yes, well…let’s just move past that awkward moment and continue with the review of an otherwise top notch workout. Maybe do it like a pterodactyl backing out of trouble… Plus, it’s hard to slack off when Eric is going strong with a prosthetic leg.Īlternatives: T25 Lower Focus, Insanity Plyo Cardio Circuit, Asylum Vertical Plyo, P90X2 Plyocide Shoulders and Armsīe sure to warm up those shoulders. Tony just keeps it pure and that’s why it still works. This is one of the consequences of certain Insanity workouts. Most post-Plyo X videos try to add a heavy dose of cardio which means one can have half a tank going into focused plyo moves. In fact, it stands at the top in many ways as it does not try to dilute itself with cardio, but rather focuses entirely on what you wanted in the first place…plyometrics. So how does Plyo X hold up after ten years of imitators? Surprisingly well actually. Damn near killed me and even today it still can give me a run for my money. Plyo does more to make you explosively fast than anything else. You can just about trace every incarnation of plyometric videos for the past decade right back to Plyo X and for good reason. I’m getting there…Īlternatives: Body Beast Chest and Back, P90X2 Chest Back and Balance, One on One Chest Back and Balls, P90X3 The Challenge Plyo X Bobby’s the fun quiet guy who doesn’t punch Tony right between the eyes for accusing him of “Doggin’ it”, Scotty loves okra, and Moraine is a sweet young lady ( wait…she’s a porn star? ) who doesn’t act like she invented cold fusion for only doing ten reps. Bobby, Scotty and Moraine are never more than just some fun people you like to work out with and that makes this DVD easy to pop in time after time. 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.
