P90X2 Fever Increases

With only 3 days until the release of P90X2, many P90X grads can't wait for Christmas. There has been much hype and excitement over P90X2 and soon it will be known if it really is worth it. P90X2 featured PAP workouts and the chance to get into the shape of professional athletes. P90X2 also recommends you get more equipment to give you more of a burn. However, this equipment is only recommended, not required. I guess we will all have to wait to see if P90X2 is as good as Beachbody makes it seem. Good luck to all of you fellow P90X2 students out there!

-Athletes looking to improve performance
-Former Athletes wanting to get back in shape.

How does if differ from P90X, Insanity, and Asylum?
-  P90X questions have been answered.  It has more flexibility, phases are different and cover more physiological ground.  More targeted on weaknesses, more focused, and more compartmentalized.  P90X2 is training for sp orts, Diet plan is more versatile.

What is P.A.P. Training?
- Post Activatoin Potentiation
- Doing a weighted resistance exercise prior to an explosive one can increase the amount of power produced by conditioned individuals.  Very counter-intuitive than how we normally train.  In conditioned athletes, “loading ” a muscle actually activates “muscle cell motor units” and makes you be able to lift more weight or explode more.  You have a short window after the resistance exercise to make you perform better and make you feel like a kid.  The “complexes” are put together to take advantage of this.  Marcus Elliott helped to refine this and brought it to P90X2.

What Makes This Program Unique?


- Where else do you get functional training, strength training, plyometrics and p ost-activation potentiation in one program.
-  New Tools, New techniques

P90X2 Release Date

        Ever since the announcement of P90X2, everyone has been wondering when it is going to come out. Beachbody CEO Carl Daikeler announced in his personal blog that P90X2 would be available for pre-order at the end of August, and that it would be released by the end of the year in time for the holiday season.  He did not say much more about P90X2, but he gave the release date being somewhere near the end of 2011. So with 5 months left before the end of the year, P90X2 fever is increasing at a very rapid rate.

P90X2 Workouts

As an all new program, P90X2 also has new and different workouts than P90X. Although many of the workouts have the same name with an "X2" added to the end, many of the moves are new and much more difficult. However, many of the moves may be the same or similar to a move in the original P90X, with an added twist to make the workout harder. As it is known so far, P90X2 has 14 workouts:


X2 Core

- Next Level of Core Synergistics

- Adds Plyo moves with core movements.

Plyocide

- More focus on lateral movements than in P90X which was more about jumping in one spot.

- Also works on higher vertical movements

X2 Recovery + Mobility

- An entire workout dedicated to recovery shows the importance of this in the program.

- This is not just about stretching.

X2 Total Body

- Just as it sounds. Example moves are “One-Armed Bicep Curl while in Warrior 3″, “Pull-Ups where your whole body is a crunch”, and “Plyometric Push-Ups on a Stability Ball.”

X2 Ab Ripper

- Fifer Scissors with an added toe touch.

- Other moves used in P90X One-on-One

X2 Yoga

- X2 takes a back to basics approach with a focus on constant flow. For example, standing balance moves are out and the warm-up is shorter.

- It condenses the very best of the best and is 65 minutes long.

Balance & Power

- This workout adds balance components to strength components.

Chest, Back, and Balance

- Many of the moves looked very similar to Chest, Back, and Balls from the P90X 1-on-1, Volume 3.

- 3-Ball Plyo Push-Ups, Levers, 4-Ball Push-Ups, etc

X2 Shoulders & Arms

- Shoulders are the link to everything in the upper body.

- The video was showing Pike Presses on 2 balls while your feet are elevated. Lying Tricep Extensions on a Stability Ball. Again, unstable surfaces will be the norm for P90X2

Base + Back

- Plyo moves and Pull-Ups in one workout. Again, some similarity from the P90X 1-on-1, Volume 3

P.A.P Upper

- Upper body workout that incorporates P.A.P workout science.

P.A.P. Lower

- Lower body workout that incorporates P.A.P. workout science. 

V-sculpt 

- Newer version of back and biceps

 Upper Body X

- An upper body workout

Note that V-sculpt and Upper Body X are bonus DVDs only available if you purchase P90X2 deluxe or P90X2 ultimate kits.

Looking at these workout descriptions, P90X2 is definitely going to be tough and hard. But it will also definitely deliver results.

P.A.P Workouts

      One huge difference between P90X and P90X2 is P.A.P. P.A.P stands for Post Activation Potentiation and is one of the best workout methods in the scientific world. It is what professional athletes use to build strength and agility. The way P.A.P works is quite simple. First, you do heavy weight lifting. Immediately after doing the heavy lifting, you do some explosive training. So in other terms, use slow twitch muscles first, then use fast twitch muscles and you will maximize your workout results. P90X2 is going to take this new, yet simple workout technique and incorporate it into the program to help maximize user results. P90X2 is going to be the best workout program ever made, and it's using every possible method and technique ever made to help it achieve that status.

Do Another Round of P90X Before Doing P90X2

          P90X2 is going to be an insane workout. There is no doubt about that. As Tony Horton has said, you will be training at the same level professional athletes are training at. So by the time you are done with P90X2, you will have the strength, speed, and stamina of one. The harder the workout is, the better shape the trainee needs to be in to do the workout. So it is recommended that before starting P90X2, you should complete one more round of P90X to put you in great physical shape so you can work your hardest during P90X2 and get the best results possible from it. Also, it may not be a good idea to try and do P90X2 unless you completed P90X in the past or are in great shape. Trying P90X2 and not being in the proper physical condition can harm your body and cause injuries. So if you don't want to complete P90X before doing P90X2, at least do 1 month of P90X to put your body in somewhat of a good physical condition. But remember, the 2 at the very end is because this is supposed to be a sequel to the original P90X, not a replacement workout.
