Would this routine be overtraining for cutting in the summer?

[evgeney]

Running every morning 2-3 miles + p90x every day following their program for cutting.

i dont think it'd be "over training", but its definately not necessary.

i did p90x... there are many better ways to cut.

I'm not primarily running to lose fat, frankly I don't have a problem with losing fat.. Its more about gaining endurance as currently it blows

What is your purpose for doing P90x, I always thought that was more of a fat loss program. What are your goals??

I don't think it would be overtraining but most people I know that do P90x have not gotten great results from it.

[kman025]

p90x gets results simply because you do a **** load of cardio and maintain a strict ass diet.

it sapped the little strength i had and i lost the little muscle i had (mostly my fault with too low calories).


lift+diet+a little cardio=WIN

Full body routines are the way to go lifting + cardio = best of both worlds.

I'm currently rocking an advance fullbody split which, kicks my ass.

Endurance has gone way up, weight has dropped slightly, body fat dropped almost 1% in a week.

I currently train 4 times a week sets reps look like 4 sets 12-10-8-6 reps with 4-5 exercises per body group.

Monday Chest tris abs
tuesday back bis
wednesday legs calves abs
thursday shoulders.
saturday abs

The reason I want to get into p90 is because its convenient as I have the dvd set on hand and seems to work when I did part of it.

its not that it wouldnt work to loose weight... but it wont do jack for strength and i think it sets you up for some muscle loss

Really? I thought that as most of the exercises consist of body exercises it would primarily target strength and endurance.
Why would you say it would not contribute to overall strength, out of curiosity.
