P90X Chest & Back
I consider myself to be in pretty good shape. That was until I met the Chest and Back routine from P90X. This workout is all about getting back to the basics. It’s push and it’s pull. Nothing fancy. The routine takes you through an intense sequence of back to back push-ups followed by pull-ups. There are a few sets of back rows but for the most part it is push-ups and pull-ups. And as if the first round of push-ups and pull-ups weren’t enough Tony really pushes you to the limit by going through the entire routine a second time.
When Tony gives you the tip of the day to “pace yourself” I suggest heading his warning. I am currently in Phase 3 of the program and every time I do this workout I feel like I’m going to pass out. My body keeps telling me to stop but Tony Horton keeps telling me to “Bring It!” Unfortunately for my body my competitive nature always seems to win out and I end up pushing myself almost past the point of no return. Chest and Back is definitely my favorite P90X exercise routine… I’m just glad my wife is a nurse.
