Before Buying p90x Read This

Alright I am fired up again and it is time for me to rant and chew bubble gum…but I am all outta gum. You see one of the things that drives me absolutely crazy is when people refuse to see a better way. Lately I have been attacking sub par programs and I will show evidence why they are sub par. The object of my attacks lately is the popular home training program p90x. Now lets take a look at the things p90x claims. They are the most extreme program blah blah blah.

Yeah really? and that is good why? and I can think of at least 2 programs more extreme and at least 1 that is better written. 1)crossfit is more extreme 2)Viking warrior conditioning is harder and way better written. Here I will write a more extreme program right now. Do 2000 swings. You have 2 hours to complete that. Do that everyday. Is it extreme? Yes. Is it productive? No. You see there is more to exercise science then hard work or some marketing term like muscle confusion. Remember confusion prevents progress.

Now as far as being the best for fat loss…it isn’t. Watch this video and you will see why. 5-8 hours a week for fat loss (p90x) compared to 3 hours a week (TurbulenceTrainingAdvantage.com) for the same results. Its pretty clear the TurbulenceTraining is better for fat loss. Point made? I think so. If you refuse to see the logic with your own brain…well I done my part. You can bring a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. You can present a superior way of training to a dumbass but it wont make them think. That is why there are so many people so few results.

Now another claim about p90x is that it will make you perform better. Better then what? Try out the way I do things. Hardstyle. The hardstyle camp that I come from has some of the strongest fittest people on earth. We are pretty consistent with that too. 1 handed chins is fairly common place with us. Rolling up frying pans, pistol squats and resting heart rates of a marathon runner with the strength of an ox is the type we have. Name some p90xplorers that can do what we can, even at our most basic levels.

Now some have come back with the whole yoga is best for flexibility thing and that plyometrics are used to train pro athletes. Let me ask you something…Do you really think that that version of yoga is what the yogis do? And do you actually believe that when you are jumping around the living room like an idiot that you are really doing the same kind of program that pro athletes are doing? Face it. All it is is good marketing and so so program design. Seek out the best methods of doing things and you will find them. If you ignore them you are a mullet and whats worse is you are a mullet that is beyond help. If that is you then please leave my blog and don’t ask me stupid questions like what kind of crunch is best.

The answer is no crunch is best.

Eric Moss over and out.
