The P90X3 diet is specifically designed for each phase of the program. I don’t know about doing The Challenge 3 days a week and Yoga 2 days, it seems like you would end up like one of those memes about skipping Leg Day and end up with chicken legs It’s more important IMO to have balanced training where you are working every body part each week, including biceps, triceps, legs, and all the joint stabilizer muscles. If you are looking to improve your all-around fitness, coordination and balance then P90X3 is for you. Thats my biggest problem. Wow. You’re welcome. Hi Joe–thanks for the question. This version corrects the overstatement of P90X pull-ups. I can’t say I’ve seen a schedule like that, but if you can squeeze in a 4th day then it will be a lot like LIIFT4 with the 4 day a week schedule. All four of the schedules will be included with your P90X3 workout, so whatever your desired results are, P90X3 will help you hit them! Hi John. Thank you so much for quick reply and your help. What do you think is the best formula for this!! The last P90X3 schedule rotation through the program is called Doubles. 4) My arms looks like weak aganist to my age people. Coach, Thank you very much for you help John! If it works, I’ll go with that. In a typical Block 1 week the number of push-ups  and pull-ups are about the same. Yes you sure can, but why don’t you just switch to a program that uses those moves and has the objective you desire? Do you like punishment? Doubles is for people who understand what their body can tolerate and who are in total control of how many calories they need to lose or maintain weight. I mean morning is 30 minutes program and evening 30 minutes program. There is not a hard and fast mapping between the two programs since they are designed very differently–the closest thing to Back & Biceps is Incinerator. It is a good option, but only works if you eat at a calorie surplus. The newer nutrition guides provide guidance on vegan/plant-based foods, once you arrive in the US please contact me and I can help you gain access to all the new guides in the Beachbody library. I will add abs in the AM for 10 minutes though. After I lose weight I would like to tone up more. I went with your suggestion of doing P90X3. Would love to keep up I wouldn’t over complicate things, go back to basics and do a full round of P90X Classic and make sure you are lifting heavy (8-10 reps and not 12-15). I really have everythign thing I need with gym memberships and videos, I just get overwhelmed with that I should do. Think I can build a physique close to yours from p90x3? Worked up to sets of 30-40 pushups and sets of 50 bw squats. If you want to go outside 30 minutes then there is nothing like the “mother of all P90X workouts”, Plyo X.  I plan to mostly use the more traditional beginner plans over at Bodybuilding.com for bulking interspersed with BB programs (esp Max:30) for cardio days and cutting phases. The rest of P90X would be followed as per the plan. Hey Coach! Maybe I can do p90x and just do running on some of my aerobic days if I feel I’m running low on time. I have dumbbells and 200 total pounds plus bodylastics resistance bands. I love my results from BB programs but I think they are more for losing weight and body fat % with mass gain as an afterthought. That is really what will be responsible for you results . I started P90X Doubles… If I do the hybrid P90x/Insanity program, what nutrition program should I follow? If a 30 minute workout is not enough for you, you can choose to follow the Doubles workout schedule, and do two workouts per day instead of one. Thanks! I’m planning to do doubles but, as you know there is a 2 program in 1 day. Does this make sense to you? One Saturday last May, the guy who got me into BB workouts planned a huge BB fest before he moved away with his extensive BB library. I am not looking to bulk up either, but to increase muscle tone and lose inches..possibly the last few pounds that absolutely are sticking to me like glue should I be lifting heavy in the 8-10 range and not the 12-15? What are your goals right now? Just what I thought:  I am getting more work out of P90X vs X3: Thanks to The Challenge I get more push-ups out of P90X3 than P90X, but pull-ups are another story–about 30% more in P90X. I originally did the first P90X in summer of 2010 and lost weight and felt great. I would like to continue doing my 3 day per week heavy bag workout which is only 30 minutes(10-3 minute rounds). Then, feel free to peek into my Fit Test Day 0 results (trust me, they are not impressive by any means). BODY BEAST Review – A Full, No BS Look At Beachbody’s Mass Gaining Workout. Thanks so so much for any feed back. Hammer and Chisel / Insanity Max:30 Hybrid, https://johntfitness.com/how-to-enhance-your-progress-using-workout-sheets/, 80 Day Obsession Resistance Loops Comparison (Bands), Master's Hammer and Chisel - Insanity Max:30 Hybrid, Plum and Blue Cheese Stuffed Pork Tenderloin, 80 Day Obsession Resistance Loops Comparison, What is the Hardest Beachbody Program? Look like 50 again? Read my post about using workout sheets and hopefully this will help: https://johntfitness.com/how-to-enhance-your-progress-using-workout-sheets/. Here are the FOUR P90X3 Workout Schedules: You might suggest something else to add to these would be really helpful. I'm here to see that you have the same success I have had using Beachbody programs. just wanted to know if that has enough muscle defining workouts. Doubles is another niche rotation. Insanity, Max 30 and 21 DFX will not add muscle like P90X. The P90X plan was written in the fat-phobic era and we now know that low fat foods are not necessarily healthy foods. I would keep plyo, yoga, and kenpo x in the blocks. I simply don’t feel that I get much from it and second it drags on so I’m not enjoying it. There are a number of routines in other programs like P90X, Body Beast, or even hammer & Chisel that you could use to substitute, but if you wanted to do that then you would be better off just transitioning to one of those programs instead of repeating the last schedule you did. My question is regarding the pull-ups. I counted up all the CVX reps to come up with the Total Weight number. @disavow,  thanks for the comment! Hi Bob, thanks for the question. I would take functional fitness over muscle imbalance physique any day. I get the question “Should I do doubles for better results?“, constantly. If you like running or are training for a race then yes do running on days alternating with resistance training. For best results, you should slow each rep down, focus on form, use all the weight you can safely handle, and minimize rest between sets. This will include 2 P90X3 workouts a day! I think I will do the Elite Block and then move on. Another 1170 reps are the result of doubling the Eccentric Upper and Lower rep counts to account for the 4-count moves. For many moves I will even start with a heavier weight and switch to a lighter weight halfway through just to force progression. 2 weeks of one then try another. What do you think? My wife Susan and I basically eat like that every day, and when we need to dial our nutrition back in we will actually pull the containers back out and use them religiously to “reset”. The Doubles P90X Schedule is meant for P90X professionals that have done P90X before, and are looking to take things to a whole other level. Thanks for your thoughts on this. Thank u. Haha that workout is a real sleeper The first few times I did it I felt the same way, as it starts slow but finishes with a bang. But I was starting to get burnt out on P90X. Can’t say I recall off the top of my head but when I did it in my Beachbody Bracket last summer it didn’t fare well against the alternatives. Make sure you hydrate and do stretches throughout the day, your body is going to scream for it. Besides, many of the moves are maximum reps or pre-counted reps. My experience with women specifically is that when shooting for the “12-15” rep range they take a weight that is too light and can actually do 15-20 reps but they stop at 12-15 before muscle failure. And there are plenty of programs that include a double schedule as an option; P90X, 21 Day Fix, P90X3, etc…but what I want to address is the misconception that less is more. In fact, halfway through the hybrid schedule I even revised the P90X3/Max:30 Hybrid to add more resistance, particularly to the first month. Doubles is for those who want extra cardiovascular exercise on top of the standard Classic P90X workout schedule, either for performance of for weight loss.The P90X Doubles calendar involves doing a cardio workout either 3 or 4 times per week on top of your regular P90X workouts. Hi, I was thinking of doubling up P90X3; morning and then evening. I was stronger, more flexible.  Rush hour traffic here is so bad that I might as well kill time before trying to drive home anyway. If not then the next best thing is to use the P90X3 plan since it is newer–the food list is more current than the P90X food list, and the P90X plan aims way high in terms of calories for most people. The results were awesome. If you are not inclined to balance your daily calorie intake with actual exercise calories burned (meaning you are going to eat the same thing no matter which program you do), then you would lose more weight on P90X simply because you will burn more calories. I’m 37 and trying to lose the extra weight and love handles. How do you feel? 2) My body fat is %20 and i want to do %11-12 Basically just to maintain boxing technique. What I have found in my experience as a team beachbody coach over the last 3+ years is that the people who attempt a doubles schedule QUIT waaaaaaaaaaay sooner than the people who are doing just one workout per day. Are there any other substitutes for incinerator and challenge in the hybrid or should I just stick with the same set up? Every program, including Deluxe workouts, Bonus workouts, and New Releases! What you are left with is less than 3000 actual reps of weightlifting over the 13 week P90X3 schedule which is less than half what you get in a 13-week P90X schedule. I’ve followed the diet like I did 8 years ago but haven’t got the same results. Most moves are done from a stable two-legged position which de-emphasizes the core. In fact if you look at that and the X3 plan closely enough you’ll see that they are basically the same thing, with the same allowed foods, and the exact same 30% protein 40% carb 30% fat ratio. Though I plan on doing doing the X3/max 30 hybrid….. With the extra beating that you will get from the Max 30 workouts you might be glad the alternating days are only 30 minutes Tim But if you really want to amp it up you could try swapping in the P90X resistance workouts on days 1, 3 and 5. You may have already heard that this fitness program is just 30 minutes from start to finish. I’ll commit to x3 then start x. Hi Steve, thanks for the comment. So, its one hour of P90x3 everyday for the next 90 days. Hi Dina! If you can really only do 3 then do the resistance routines.
