PS, i just wanted to add:
P90X is great if you want to look like a skinny bikini model. So when i say it didnt work, i just mean it did not help me bulk at all. I just looked skinny and toned afterward. No big muscles, even after three rounds of P90X.
If skinny and toned is all you want, P90X will get you there quick.

I’m a woman TRYING to bulk up, P90X did not work at all. So if you are worried, dont be. In fact I’m doing Body Beast with the heaviest weights i can manage (my dumbell set goes up to 100lbs each dumbbell) and I still have yet to really see larger muscles. I just look toned now, which i guess most wannabe bikini models would be happy with. I want to enter women’s physique competition someday, so I need more muscle than what ive got :(
Please dont just do light little weights with high reps, cuz you will only be wasting your time and wont see any improvement to your muscle tone and you wont be burning many calories. Muscle burns fat!

It is really hard to bulk up in all reality…you really have to almost be trying to do so, or at least I do :) Thanks for the great post Brett!

I’m a woman and it’s definitely about tailoring. Lighter weights and more reps definitely worked for me!

The more I learn about P90X the more my fears about doing it are relieved. Thanks for making sense out of this question!

Thanks Brett! My wife and I are recent Beachbody club members. We are working out with INSANITY (second week) – awesome workouts BTW! We’ll likely try P90X next; great tips here that I’ll pass on to my wife. She wants muscle definition but not the “she-hulk” look. Again, thanks for the tips.

Great post Brett! I didn’t bulk up when doing P90X just got that muscle definition. It works for women!

Great post. I have heard that excuse a bunch of times from women. Light weights with high reps will not allow anyone to bulk up. No She-hulks.
