15lb Two-arm Tricep Kickbacks? Really? I'm so amazed at what this little 5'4" body can do these days. As I round out Round 3 of P90X Classic, I'd like to share some of my numbers from my feeble beginnings to the present day. Before I started P90X, I did have 6 months of ChaLEAN Extreme under my belt, so I wasn't totally raw. But the changes thus far have been pretty amazing.

Each P90X muscle workout consists of 24 exercises. Some, like Shoulders and Arms, have 12, but they are repeated to make 24 exercises in total.  I just reported one set of numbers here. Also, I have Blowflex Select-Techs which is why my weights are in half-pound increments. In some cases, my weights doubled. In others they increased by up to a third. But all in all, the gains have been tremendous. No, they aren't 20s and 30s like Tony's...but they are pretty good for a girl!
