My round 1 of P90X2 has finally started. Those in my P90X2 Challenge group are already finding the program challenging and fun. I have put together a P90X2 schedule for those who have started with me. I wanted to share it with you so you could see what we are doing and join us in the P90X2 challenge group. I decided to make 2 different schedules. Each schedule focuses on Strength and Performance. Making sure that you maximize those phases to get the best results in muscle strength and growth as possible. The difference between the two P90X2 schedules is that one is a 5 day schedule and the other is based upon a 6 day schedule that we have come to love from P90X. P90X2 Schedule B is only for those who have been working out for some time now. Those who have done P90X more than 2 round or those who have done P90X and a P90X hybrid (P90X/Asylum for example). Otherwise you should select P90X2 Schedule A.
Below are each of the schedules that I have come up with. You will need the P90X2 Advanced DVDs in order to be able to do them exactly. You won’t be disappointed. I believe this P90X2 Schedule will get you the best strength and performance results you could possible want.

What do you think? Do you like the way they are set up? Which one will you be doing?
Nice, Coach! I’m currently doing my own preparation for P90X2, doing the ONE on ONE Volume 3 routines. Once that’s completed, I’m gonna give your Schedule B a try.
By the way, I forgot to tell you, I’m really loving Chest X 2.0. I’m seeing gains with it.
Keep up the good work!
I like the schedule a and b…only thing is third phase is the active rest day…i feel that PAP lower is so highly demanding that you could compromise that workout with your day before activity. You know what i mean? unless you are walking or something like that, but running might tear legs up to much…I am so excited for that phase! Good website to dude!
@Dennis: Yes I do actually. I previewed PAP Lower a few weeks ago and loved how tough it was. I will most likely stick to something upper body on that day before PAP Lower.
