P90X One On One Diamond Delts is a intense workout that focuses on your shoulders and deltoids.
Unlike many of the Tony Horton One on One workouts that work multiple muscles, in Diamond Delts, the main goal is working your deltoids.
Tony rotates though the exercises with a small break between sets. The sets consist of multiple versions of shoulder fly’s, shoulder presses, upright row, and pikes press.
In my opinion Pikes Press is the showpiece of this One on One workout. Tony Horton includes one set in each round of the workout. For those that haven’t done a pikes press, it’s the equivalent of a pushup with the top of your head parallel to the floor. With a simple adjustment of the height of your feet, this move can go from easy to having your muscles screaming in agony (and they do!)
I started out with my feet on the floor and progressed to putting them on the counter. At first I used standard pushup bars, but after a few weeks as I started elevating my legs, I noticed that the pushup bars would flex with each pushup. This was very distracting to my workout. After another week of indecision, I purchased the P90X Power Stands. When they arrived I was pleasantly surprised by the thick grade of steel that was used. This quality and extra stability provided by the P90X Power Stands made it a well placed investment.
When I first received my One on One Diamond Delts workout DVD, I was on my second round of P90X. By rotating this into my P90X workouts as a replacement to one of the upper body DVDs, I got that little extra pump I was looking for. After a few weeks of P90X Diamond Delts, I started noticing my deltoid muscles were no longer a smooth round shape but had developed a more sharp cut look.
Now that I finished P90X, I still continue to include Diamond Delts in my weekly workouts.
No workout can do everything but I am hard pressed to find any workout that rocks your delts like Diamond Delts does. When it come time to pull one of Tony’s workouts from the shelf, due to its unique focus on the deltoids muscle, the P90X Diamond Delt’s is always one of my top choices.
