p90x

Dartful Dodger:
A year ago at a family Christmas party a cousin of mine told me about p90x.  He's a runner and does p90x during the cold months.

This year I told him I was doing it.

He uses these dumbbells:

He said his son and his friends who were all in HS bet they could do more pull ups than him.

He did 50 pull ups, before p90x 10 was the most he's ever done. A skinny Korean kid came in 2nd with 48. 

He's done the 90 days twice since he told me about a year ago. 

I'm still trying to get through phase 1.

I just use combinations of 2.5, 5, and 10lb plates.  They're easy to grip for this stuff.

Those are the same dumbbells that GNC had on sale for $120 for a set of 2.  Walmart has them for $180 each!!!  Too bad the GNC deal appears to be dead.

ChadTower:

Seriously, guys, you don't need to pay all that.  Save a couple of empty milk cartons and put sand in them.  That's way more flexible than those dumbbells anyway.

shardian:
I saw some of these variable dumbells at K-Mart the other day. They were only 25lb max though, but were either 60 each, or 60 for the set. I'll have to look again.

Unless you are a bodybuilder, 25lb is more than enough. You just do more reps, or slow them down. These would also be awesome for 'peel the puppy' set styles.
