going by 3 signs-
1. the tape measure, all measurements show an increase in muscled areas- arms are 1.5" bigger, legs- 2", chest is 3+" and a decrease in flabby ones, my waist went from a 34.5" to 29"
2. strength is way up, reps and poundage
3. my lean body mass. i weight myself and do a bf measurement every morning and record the results. since i've started, these #s show that i've lost fat (30 pounds) and gained lbm(over 10 pounds), while i know lbm is not just muscle weight it is primarily so.
that said, i wouldn't suggest p90x for anyone looking to gain, there are better workouts to accomplish that, as you mentioned. but, going on my #s, i have gained muscle.
