My favorite P90X workout after over a year is still, hands down the Shoulders and Arms Workout. I¡¯ve added over an inch of muscle to both of my arms and am much stronger because of it.
I¡¯ve had a problem a couple of times over the last year when my elbow joints gave me problems with soreness. I used to think that the soreness in my right elbow was from racquetball, but once I started experiencing the same pain in my left elbow I assumed that it was from using too much weight in several of the P90X exercises.
I think the main culprit for my problem was using too much weight while doing the ¡°in and out bicep curl¡± exercise. After the last several months of holding off on my workouts until I was fully healed I decided to take it easier on my arms, especially when it concerned the ¡°in and out¡± exercise.
I think it was the wise thing to do. Since getting back on track with my P90X workout schedule over the last month, my elbows are just fine. I prefer to have my muscles sore and not my joints. I¡¯ll be fine as long as I keep things under control.
I figured out my limits the last go around, this time I¡¯m gonna be sure to not overdo it. I still have to push myself so I get the benefits from the P90X workouts, just not over the line.
Although I have to be careful with the bicep exercises it seems that I can just pile on the weight when it comes to my triceps. The ¡°Flip Grip Twist¡± exercise is my favorite and now that I¡¯m up to 25 lb. dumbbells with that workout I¡¯m really pleased with the results.
If you¡¯re looking to build up your arms, you can¡¯t go wrong with ¡°Shoulders and Arms.¡± You should see some results within the first couple of weeks.
Of all the P90X workouts the only one that I still hate to this day is the Yoga X¡.I just don¡¯t think it flows very well, but for me¡.the P90X Workout ¨C Shoulders and Arms more than makes up for it.
