I need dvd kind of guidelines for a heavy lifting routine. Does such a thing exist?

I've never seen or heard of such a thing. Just pick a program that you like and do it, no DVDs required.0

Youtube or Mehdi's videos on the strong lifts 5x5 website0

Body Beast if you're willing to pay. If you are looking to go the free route there is tons on YouTube I've found.0

Body Beast is a pretty solid program. It was actually what got me into lifting. I loved it.. but it is a bit expensive.0 -
Stronglifts 5x5. I've had great results. It's a simple program and there's a free app. There's also a Stronglifts 5x5 for Women group here on MFP where you can ask questions, see form videos and get support.0

It's $40 on Beach Body now and I've seen it even cheaper on Amazon at times. They've dropped the price on it quite a bit. Plus Sagi has a new program coming out with Autumn Calabrese called Hammer and Chisel. I'm hoping he does a Body Beast 2 next.

SL5x5 is so easy that no DVD's are required. What will benefit you though is watching youtube videos on proper form along with reading in detail the sections on stronglifts.com about form.
Once you've spent a week or so lifting, take some videos of yourself and compare it to the form videos on youtube or even post on here or another site (like bodybuilding.com) to check your form.0 -
I had a really funny image of someone taping a dvd to a set of plates and lifting it

Oh that could be interesting.0 -

Agreed. I love Body Beast. It is all set up and spelled out for you but is a bit pricey. Totally worth it in my opinion.0 -

THIS.
No sense in throwing away your money on DVDs. You could pay for a month or two of a gym membership with the $40 you'd save over the beach body DVDs.0 -

The Stronglifts app has videos on it to show form and they're on the website too.0 -
What's P90x like?0

What's P90x like?
Unless you are already relatively fit, it will kick your butt and make you want to quit within 1 week. At least, that is how I view it. I could probably do it now (after 9 months of lifting and losing 38lb), but I have no interest in doing cardio DVDs and at this point I already have a program that challenges me more in the strength department.
EDIT: to answer the actual question it is a combination of cardio and body weight training.0 -

Is p90x strictly weight lifting?

no, I edited my reply above. It is cardio and body weight exercises. I also forgot they do use some light resistance (I can't remember if it was dumbbells and/or bands).0 -

It uses both... and it can be heavy as you can keep reps to 8. But no where near as good as beast in terms of a lifting program.
P90x is 3 days of resistance training, 2 HIIT and 1 very long yoga.0 -
As a yoga teacher, I don't think P90X yoga is safe for those new to yoga, dealing with injuries, or just starting to exercise after being very sedentary.
I do recommend it to people who think yoga is "just stretching."0 -
The best DVD for heavy lifting I've seen is the Starting Strength video series.

*edited to add that it's free on the website and youtube.0
