Back & Biceps is a 52 minute workout.  The cardio portion of the warm up is 2 & 1/2 minutes.  The stretch portion of the warm up is 6 & 1/2 minutes.   The pattern for this workout is two back exercises, followed by two bicep exercises. There are a total of 24 exercises with a water break after exercise 12. The exercises are time based. One thing to note about the time, when Tony has a left and right side to do, the times are not even. It is not just this workout; I notice the uneven times in other P90X workouts as well.

The last exercise is a drop set bicep curl exercise and there are four rounds and thus four different times.  The majority of the exercises are pull ups or some form of it and bicep curls. The workout concludes with at 2 & 1/2 minute cool down. Equ...

Along with dumbbells, a stability ball, mat,and medium resistance tubing in used.

There are four bonus workouts and 14 premix workouts on the DVD. The workout is almost 46 minutes in length and it is a solid bicep/tricep workout. 3 & 1/4 stars.
