P90x entirely different than I envisioned it

[Sorrow]

I bought it years back when working on a road crew. I'd be in hotels for weeks on end and couldn't count on having weights available. It worked really well for keeping me from declining to far back then. Doesn't mesh well with the powerlifting that I follow, but I would agree its a solid workout. Kind of falls under the General physical fitness end of the spectrum but will work if you follow it. Would probably be a great break from the norm for someone who wants to just follow a pre laid out scheme without having to think about it to much. Throw in some simple compound free weight moves at night and you could probably do one hell of a recomp!

I agree with every word you said. It could be modified to achieve something different than what it's intended for, and it's great education that you can take with you to the gym if you choose to deviate from it. Anyone who knocks it or says it's garbage is either delusional or has no real understanding of it.

It's taking me in a different direction and offering me a different point of view. I'm cool with that. My goal this summer is to feel good and have good endurance for my shows. Plus it's breaking up the boredom and monotony of something I've done for a long time.
