Yeah, that's exactly what I was talking about.
You need to change things up otherwise you'll plateau, periodization and progression is nothing new and certainly not something P90x has a monopoly on.
It's just for some reason it bugs me when I hear people talk about P90x and muscle confusion like it's some kind of breakthrough that was invtend a couple years ago.
Like I said, it's frequent high intensity workouts with a strong motivational component, so you'll definitely get results, but P90x is certainly not the only way to achieve those things.
Like I said before, I'm not bashing P90x, it's a great tool for a lot of people, and if you find that it works for you, you should absolutely stick with it.
