I'm a 22 year old guy, always been into lifting but stopped for quite a while. I weigh 165 and on my bench i rep 205.
I was watching an infomercial of the P90x workout, and thought I'd give it a shot.
So far I did day 1 and my entire back is shot. I will stick with doing bench press and flys but this seems like a good workout scheme, I think if you stick with this you could really get some good results.
If the first couple of days is causing back problems, then maybe you need to work on your "core" muscles. I think they have a Pre P90x program to prepare you for the P90x. It looks like a good alternate exercise program to me. Not something to totally replace a "normal" fitness routine, but something to work on when you're getting in a rut. Just a thought.
I did it for about 50 days - and I really don't think I was doing it right. I didn't see any results and my arms were like bones and I was mad. I struggle to even pour a gallon of milk onto cereal so I wanted to get toned.
I felt flabby around my midsection before I started, and less after I did P90X. If I follow it exactly right, I am sure there would have been better results. I guess I 'cheated' on the diet a little. If you stick with it, it'll pay off in the end.
One thing I didn't like about it was that you are tied to your TV for an hour. I like to go outside running for as much time as I want, or take a long walk etc. But I didn't like how I had to stand in front of the television so long. Haha, I probably make no sense. I might try it again in a few weeks.

Has anybody else tried this?
I've been doing it for a month and a half, and have gotten great results. I was in good shape to begin with, but wanted something to guide me through workouts with some flexibility and variety, in addition to being able to see people actually doing the workouts so I know I'm doing it right. It's convenient.
If you are hurting after the workouts, there is something wrong. You might be sore, but you shouldn't be out of commission. You might want to modify the workout or cut it short, and get into it gradually.

you are correct. I have went through P90X twice so far...and prior to my first time, I did the P90 and the P90 Master Series (completely diff than P90X) which helped me be prepared for X

I do it for the same reasons, I have always lifted weights but I thought I'd try something new out and try a new routine. I don't really see how you couldn't get results from it, I mean these lifts are really good and they burn.
I don't think there is anything wrong with how I'm doing it.. I just feel like I have a really good workout.

Good luck
It just sounds like you have to follow it better, or follow ANY routine. You can't half-ass anything and expect results. Also, stop making excuses , that's one of the best ways to not see results. "I don't like to stand in front of the TV" "I like to go on long walks." -Just do what you gotta do to get to where you want to be. It is always the out of shape people with the most excuses.

Think about it
Yeah, that's exactly what I said. I DON'T half-ass anything anymore. I'd rather go for a long walk or spend a few hours at the gym than stare more at the TV, after I've been staring at my computer screen all day.
I work out every day of the week...so I am not sure where my excuses are coming from. I never watch TV when I get home.
