P90X: Can't Do Pullups? So What Do I Do?

Question:

Can I Do P90X If I Can't Do Pullups?

Answer:

Yes! You Definitely Can!

Ripped Journey | P90X Workout Has An Answer:

Even if you can't do pullups, you can still follow the P90X program, because there are modifications, and different pieces of equipment that you can use, that will still workout the same muscle group.

If you can't do pullups, there are two solutions.

1. Use a chair and push up slightly with your legs to get yourself to do a pullup.
2. Use the bands.

Remember, Tony Horton will show you how to modify P90X moves, so even if you can't do the real move, you can still get a great burn, and great results.

Recommendation:

If you can't do pullups, don't skip them altogether. Instead, follow the modifications that I discussed above, and that Tony discusses in the DVD.

I Modify: Although I can do pullups, I still modify. The P90X is so intense, that I sometimes need to use a chair to help me do pullups. It's no big deal, and it still gives me a great workout.
