Here is an article about using bands for p90x and why Bodylastics bands are way better than the ones p90x recommends.
Both are good and different. The plus side of the bands is that they offer increased resistance at the finish of your movement. Again, not necessary but can add a nice change and P90X is all about changes. You can also put the bands in your travel bag, not so with dumb bells.
It is essential to get either a set of dumbbells OR resistance bands for p90x. If you do not have either, you wil miss out on a huge portion of the workouts. I personally prefer dumbbells but it is just a matter of preference.
its a either bands, dumbbells, or a combo of both. i only have 20lbs + 8lbs dumbbells, so i use the bands for all in btw and above. they show both alts, and certain moves actually feel better w/ bands than dumbbells.
if u get the bands get the men set they recommend. if u need more weight all u gotta do is loop it and step on it (they show it in the video how to do this the rt way). also the bands are can b used n place of the pull up bar. its not as effective, but it works if ur weak point is pull ups just buy the door attachment so u dont break anything.
