After stopping short on Kenpo X because of a back injury and having the normal P90X rest day, I came back at it with a vengeance on P90X Chest and Back.
I’ve found that this is the “easiest” of the P90X strength workouts, if you can call it easy. Obviously, though, my chest and back are the strongest areas of my body. However, this week, I found the workout more difficult, just because I was able to do so much more, this week.
I know I mentioned my back injury. I had a rest day after the injury and I jumped back in on the Chest and Back workout and didn’t have any problems. In fact, all the pull-ups helped to stretch my back a bit and made me feel even better. Since this workout, I haven’t noticed any more issues with my back. However, I am going to be much more careful with the Ab Ripper X and Yoga X workouts, this week to ensure that my back stays healthy.
Definitely, the best Chest and Back workout I’ve done so far in the P90X program. Lots of push-ups and pull-ups. I noticed in this one that the workout became much harder because I could do so many more reps of each exercise! You really notice the results on the record sheets that you’re supposed to keep with the P90X program.

Great to see the progress, so soon with P90X. Really keeps you motivated.
