I am 6'7" and was at 191lbs with 5.1% body fat. I did 2 modified bulk rounds that I started last Sept and finished in April this year. I was up to 237lbs and 14% bf. I did 2 rounds of classic again this summer and just finished this Monday. I am down to 205lbs and 9%bf. I figured this is about 5lb muscle gain in 8 months of bulk. From what I have read you can expect to gain 5-10lbs of muscle a year. That all said I am curious how some of the exercises are done to hit the targeted reps. For instance a lot of the moves in legs and back are extremely hard to use weights. I used a different leg workout. I substituted bench press for the push ups and tried to mimic the grip. I also did weighted push ups with my powerblocks in a old northface back pack. I weighted my pullups also with the pack. Just curious how others are doing the workouts for bulk.

I have broken it out in a 2 week regimen. Week 1 - legs & back, Shoulders & Arms, Chest & Back. Week 2 Shoulders and Arms, Legs & Back, Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps. In between days I do my abs. I also slow down the workouts so I can do slow reps to failure, thanks Mike Mentzer. My workouts usually last about 30 minutes, anything more and I am usually too fatigue to give it my all. I am focusing on a balance diet, with my main focus on making sure I have my shake ready to go right after I finish my workout. Have had to focus on eating more, quite difficult when for a year all you have been doing is dieting. I went from 200lbs down to 160 in about 6 months, I eventually plateued so decided on gaining muscle. Results have been pretty amazing, I got family members now thinking that I am on steroids. I have definitely developed some muscle mass, but also a little fat, nothing too noticible, unless your starring at it on a daily basis. So yes, you can bulk up with p90x, with anything really, as long as you stress your muscles enough, and continually add a layer of difficulty.
