I think if I did a exhaustion test right now I score 55 or 60. I really just don't have a strong chest, there are a lot genetics involved with having a strong chest. I think on my best day I can maybe bench 150-175 but I will see the tiniest guys come in and throw up 200 225. Weird.

I have never really trained to be extremely strong just to stay fit. I just want to be able to take my shirt off in public and keep up with my two year old without losing my breath.

I like to see GMScud take on PX90, he is a gym rat.

P90X is legit. The thing is, it takes some serious dedication. If I'm not mistaken it's at least an hour a day, six days a week. I've talked to a few personal trainers about P90X, and they all said it's the real deal- IF you commit to it.

It operates off the premise of muscle confusion, which is why it works so well so fast. A lot of people out there trying to get in shape and build muscle don't realize the importance of varying their routine, and they will plateau, get frustrated, and quit. You've got to constantly change your exercises, and P90X works off of that. I think one of the six days is actually yoga, so it's going to help with flexibility too.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that P90X will absolutely work, but don't waste your money unless you're all in. I don't have kids (yet) and my fiancee is a personal trainer and the operations manager at a health club, so it's easy for me to be a gym rat. A lot of people may not have the time for P90X. However you can do it from the comfort of your home....
