Starting to see some changes finally and have dropped about 5-6 lbs. Wife giving the extra wink and nod after my workouts!

Thanks Jonathan… I’ve always used the chair for some reason, so I’ll follow your suggestion going forward.

Keep pressing play!

Pull ups is one of those things that comes with time. Are you on day 38 of P90X?

Here’s my advice as far as doing pullups during P90X-

Try to not to use the chair as much as you can. Pull yourself up 1/4 of the way, 1/2 of the way, 3/4’s of the way…Pull yourself up as high as you can and record how many you do each set and how high you go (say if you can only go 1/4 of the way, just write down how many 1/4 pull ups you do, etc.). Use the chair only when you can’t physically pull yourself up any more.

Strive to do more each time you do the workouts. If you do that, you will continually be pushing your muscles as far as they can go which will increase your strength over time. The key is to just keep doing pull ups without the chair as much as possible.

Also, don’t get frustrated if you don’t always beat the number of reps as you did before. It will take time. Maintaining proper form is also very important so make sure to always maintain good form. “Quality over quantity” as Tony Horton likes to say.

So stick with it Ray!! Please continue to keep us updated on your progress with P90X! Have an AWESOME day!

Question: Are you guys having issues with pullups at this point? I’m starting to get frustrated with those. I’m about 5’11” and 200lbs, so I don’t know if I’m just to heavy to do pullups yet. I still do them with the chair assist, but wish I could pump out 3-4 per exercise at least.
What do you think?

It’s her voice AND her brown-nose attitude towards Tony.

I died a little on the inside again when the girl wanted to do corn cob’s for her max rep at the end.

lol! That’s funny! She still annoys me for some reason…I don’t know if it’s her voice or what.

I love this P90X DVD too! I like how it’s pretty much different exercises one after the other. The Corn Cob Pull up is my favorite one…just kidding! My favorite is probably the Strip-Set curl even though it is a pretty basic move. I just like the intensity of it.
