I am doing the p90x program and am very lean but am looking to build mass. any ideas on how to incorporate bench press into the program to build more mass in the chest?
if you are looking to build mass, you have to EAT, alot, protein and carbs, since p90x is very very very energy heavy mainly carbs but you have to lift heavy weights, not just like light weight 15 times, under 5 reps always, heavy weight
George, please do your kidneys, bones - heck, physique maximum frequently, a desire and stay remote from each of those properly being nutrients shop merchandise that declare to construct muscle speedy. maximum incorporate parts of proteins definitely risky for a human to consume - it is unnatural to protein load.

How about during 'Chest and Back' instead of doing certain pushup variations, do bench pressing instead. Of course I'd recommend you do some push ups but substitute out the ones you don't like (ones you can't do very many of) and do bench pressing instead. Don't overexert yourself though cos you'll have to do pull ups soon after. I wouldn't quite recommend this during Chest and Shoulders because you need your arms to be in working order and bench pressing will wreck them (fatigue them). I wouldn't recommend bench pressing here. On Sunday you could replace X stretch or a rest with a bench pressing session or session dedicated to all the exercises p90x doesn't cover. The common example is barbell exercises.
