In this P90X® review, the Chest, Shoulder, and Triceps routine is covered, and understanding this routine is critical if you really want to get a lot out of it. If you try to fumble your way through, you won’t see nearly as many results as you will by performing these moves accurately and intensely.
Intensity is what you are after in this P90X routine – NOT heavy weights. There is no room during this workout to try to be a hero and throw around a bunch of heavy weights, because – quite simply – this workout is hard. You will get more results, lessen your chance of injury, and build up more strength and endurance by keeping perfect form with lower weights rather than trying to “cheat” with heavier weights.
Also, there are a lot of body weight exercises in this routine, and they are spaced out appropriately to really burn out your muscles, so even if you are normally able to do heavy weights on certain movements, don’t let your pride get in the way when you have to drop the weight a bit in order to keep up proper form and/or the prescribed number of repetitions.
Exercises during this Workout include: Slow-Motion 3-in-1 Push-ups, In & Out Shoulder Flyes, Chair Dips, Plange Push-ups, Pike Press, Side Tri-Rise, Floor Flyes, Scarecrow, Overhead Triceps Extension, Two-Twitch Speed Push-up, Y-Press, Lying Triceps Extension, Side-to-Side Push-ups, Pour Flyes, Side-Leaning Triceps Extension, One-Arm Push-ups, Weighted Circles, Throw the Bomb, Clap or Plyo Push-ups, Slow-Mo Throw, Front-to-Back Triceps Extensions, One-Arm Balance Push-ups, Fly-Row Press, and Dumbbell Cross-Body Blows
This workout seems longer than some of the other workouts, but that is just because Tony Horton and the gang beat on the same muscle groups over and over again, and you never get all that much of a break.
That, of course, is why this workout is so effective, however, so be sure to give it everything that you’ve got. Whether you are a woman or a man, the muscles worked during this routine are the “glamour” muscles, so keep that in mind if you are thinking about giving up or putting forth a half-baked effort when you start to get tired!
