What if i do p90x twice a day

I basically used the principles on the website "aworkoutroutine. Doing what is known as a beginner full body split with focus on progressive overload Dumbbell bench press 3 sets of 8 done every workout 3X per week it's more like one workout on, 2 days off or 2. I have a pull up bar in the doorway to the kitchen so I will occasionally just do a set out of the blue since I pass under it all the time. Dumbbell single leg bulgarian split squat 3 sets of 8 twice a week. I have yet to incorporate deadlifts into this workout but know I need to find a way to work those quads..

Isolation exercises I use the P90X workout "pylometrics" for cardio at least once a week as I love that workout. I have yet to do core synergistics but will give it a try. Also Ab Ripper X a couple times a week P90X is great because it up's a person's threshold for pain so that I'm more willing to push it when doing the weights.

I've also found the "athlean-x" guy on youtube a source of valuable information. I wonder how far this will get me before I run out of room on my dumbbells and have to either get olympic plates and barbells or hit a gym Last edited by sholomar; at AM..

In P90x, muscle confusion basically states that you must consistently switch up your exercise selection to continue to burn fat, build muscle, and avoid plateaus. As a human being, you and your thoughts can get confused like when you go to Bangkok and find out half the girls there are dudes. Your muscles can ONLY adapt to volume and load.

For example, this can be as simple as going from only being able to do 1 push-up to being able to do 2 push-ups. You progressed from 1 to 2 so your muscles will automatically get stronger. See what I mean? You progressed from 1 to 50 so your muscles are now bigger and stronger. Logic and common sense FTW, none of that muscle confusion silliness.

Professional athletes train times per week, so why would an average Joe who simply wants to lose weight and look better need to workout every single day.

The answer — there is no need to train 7 days per week. Granted some of these days are more relaxed than others yoga and stretching but still, training 7 days per week is unnecessary especially if your goal is to simply look and feel good which is probably what most are trying to accomplish. Will P90x get results if you do it? Yes absolutely, but it is by far one of the least optimal approaches to losing weight.

When it comes to fat loss, one of the best approaches to working out is to simply train times per week to mainly preserve muscle mass, and to let your diet create the majority of the calorie deficit and burn fat.
