What routines you do that uses all of 90#s? If your are that strong, do you still need to workout?
1801010
The only routine I do with the 1090 is curls. This is mainly because I tend to work out at the gym rather than at home. However, this package comes with a dvd demonstrating how to do many exercises with it. There are many uses for this dumbell. By strong, I'm assuming you mean you're capable of lifting more than this weight. If that is the case, you can still get a workout out of the 1090s. Some exercises are tougher to do at higher weights than others.

Flat/Decline Bench Press, Squat, Calf raises,....there are tons of options.That being said, do NOT drop these weights like you'd do with solid iron dumbbells.

DUMBEST question ever posted. How the heck do you think people stay strong. You should just go to walmart and buy the 40lbs cheap ones. These are not for the likes of you!

It depends on your level but for all 90lbs I would say bench press, squats, shoulder and back workouts. This would obviously be very advanced level but I've had the 50lb set before and I found myself needing a little more weight on most exercises to really be challenged. The difference between 50lbs and 90 is a lot of weight and with the design of these you at least have the option to go heavy or light. For men with a history of lifting weights I would highly recommend the 1090's so you have the option to have your strength grow into the heavier weight.

What routines you do that uses all of 90#s?The closest I have gotten were with leg exercises. Upper body exercises, if done properly, should not come close unless you are already a very strong/large individual. If your are that strong, do you still need to workout?That is a personal question. If you are happy with your current physical shape, then doing longer rep/lower weight exercises can be used to maintain your strength and tone. But this is more exercise related and should be discussed with a professional if you are unsure.

I am a personal trainer but am not associated with P90X in anyway. In fact, I will recommend you use a different product (Mike's Mix). Much more affordable and just as effective. P90X is a decent product but it includes a number of ingredients that are included only because it sounds good to do so but will have very little effect on your recovery. It is very important to take in recovery of some sort after a workout but can be done by whole foods if you prefer. Mostly, it's a matter of preference. Your body will absorb the liquid faster than whole foods but in the grand scheme of recovery, is not going to be detrimental if that's what you prefer. Hope this helps!

Try 5 lbs. I'm a 200 lb. man and I use 10 lbs. I probably could use more for some of the routines, but this weight has proven effective. But I also agree with some of the other posts: (1) try the band(s), (2) try a range of weights.

My initial response is yes, but not big muscles if that is what you are interested in attaining. Since you use only your body weight for the exercises and no additional equipment, you definitely get stronger. Since the workouts are short, you might want to use it to enhance another workout with weights that are already doing. If you are already in great fantastic shape, you might not see much improvement. For myself however, and my girlfriend who did the series with me, when we started, we were doing pushups on our knees, and by the end we could do 10 pushups on our toes. The sessions are timed though, so if you already can do push ups, then you could 30 in the same time it takes me to do only 10 for example. It definitely builds core strength. Hope this helps!

P90x3 is completely different from P90x. Its faster paced and not so much about weight lifting as P90x.

I really like both programs. I did P90X3 first. Finishing up final week of Rushfit now....doing the intermediate schedule. Going to do a recovery week next and then run through X3 again and then likely another round of Rushfit. I think you work a little harder in Rushfit. Rushfit also has cardio days where you can do a cardio exercise you like (ie, running, biking, swimming) or do a cardio workout from another program. I know I sweat more on a daily basis with Rushfit. Probably got stronger with X3 with the pull-ups and heavier weights in some workouts, plus eccentric work in Blocks 2 and 3. I really liked how X3 cycles through resistance, cardio and recovery workouts...switching things up every month. I can't say anything bad about either workout program. Really like both of them.

Very similar to P90X, workouts are shorter and no weights involved, but intensity level very comparable. I did P90x then did this workout twice through due to having less time to work out due to work schedule and I enjoyed it, just can't say if it would help you over your plateau or not.

Start with volume 1 and take it slow. The 30 min workout is challenging so do your best on the 57min workout. Pause and take breaks as needed. You will get stronger just stick with it.

You could map out the program and try recreating the program in a gym setting. However, the point of p90 is getting out of the gym, plus you run the risk of waiting for equipment in between your sets.

I don't, but I don't see any reason why you couldn't. Honestly, I would probably get bored. I threw in a day where I would lift weights, and then I would throw in the P90 Cardio routine on the off days.

I started with p90x3 and i lost 16 pounds in two weeks but i could not get big muscles . By the time i was done with 90 days program i was ripped but i was not that strong as I though I would be . Then i tried insanity and i just got leaner lol . Now i`m doing BB and i put on like 10 pounds of lean muscles and i got stronger but i have to watch my diet and for cardio i climb the 1000 stairs for like 30 min 3 days a week . If you can do both workouts together that would give you exactly what you want Justice but its kind of hard to do all that .

We only do regulars but see no reason why you cannot do 100s. You just have to get the right wraps. The machine is surprisingly easy to use!

I love P90x. I was 248 pounds in April of this year. I didnt follow the diet plan but I did do the excercise (actually on round 2 now). At first I couldnt do the whole tape I made it through 30 minutes, then 35 the next day, 45 after that and so on for the first two weeks until I was able to do the whole tap with only a few breaks. After the first round I was down almost 40 pounds. I am now down to 175 and in a size 10 jeans! I have never as an adult been able to wear anything below a 14! I swear by this program and tell everyone that asks me how I lost the weight all about it. It might not be for the unfit, but if you go at your own pace you can get through the program! I love P90x.

There are pushups in chalean extreme workouts, but not in every workout. There are modifiers if you can't do them on your toes.

No! These are very repetitive workouts that are just boring! Don't waste your money. Invest in Insanity or other P90x if you're bored.

I'm doing Insanity Max:30 on these right now and they're perfect. P90X would be good on them too. They're super heavy duty and don't move at all while doing plyo workouts unlike the foam mats.

You can load but you don't need too. You can just take it like an hour or so before your work out and you can get good results. You might get better results if you load. But I don't load and it works great.
