I am waiting for my P90x package to arrive and I am wondering what weight barbells I should be starting with. I am not someone who has lifted before. I was thinking 15 lbs as 10 seems a little too light. I just want to have the best results...any suggestions?

    You will progress fast. I would search craigllist for some Select Tech Dumbbells. They adjust in incremenets of 2.5 all the way up to 52 lbs. Go get em.

    I did the first phase of p90x and I think you are only supposed to use either dumbbells or the bands.

    You're going to need heavy. As a guy you'll probably need up to 35s to start for some of the back exercises. Those selectechs really are nice for this sort of thing.
