P90X for more than one person at a time?

My husband & teenage sons are doing Insanity together and enjoying it. I'm thinking of getting them P90X, but wondered if they would still be able to do it together? I would add a wall-mount pullup bar, but with only one would it still work? Is there a way to rotate the exercises so they don't all need the pullup bar, pushup handles, and dumbbells at the same time?
 
add-on question

Also, is there a good Cathe weight or weight/circuit workout that anyone would suggest that would be good for them? Something they could do together without equipment issues and that would appeal to them as males (nothing too dancy, etc). They could probably use different sized dumbbells since they are different strength levels.

I am more of a cardio junkie, so I don't have any "weights only" Cathe workouts. I do have 4DS, thought about having them try the weights portion of that.

I think it's possible. In the Chest/Back workout, you could have one person using the pull up bar for the first round with the other person using the band and then reverse it for the second round so that each person got to do both pull ups and band work. Or have them alternate during each round and then switch for the second round. As for the push up handles, they aren't really necessary, but if you did want to use them, you can have one person use a heavy set of free weights instead. Do they all lift the same amount of weight for each exercise? If so, then you may have to pause the dvd so they can each use the weights. It's a good program and the men seem to like it;)

ETA: Any of Cathe's weight work would be good, depending on space issues. STS is a great weight training system-traditional strength training following a periodization method. They may need an extra chair, barbell, and stability ball and to spot each other for some exercises, but nothing too bad.
