Alternative P90x Training Schedule

Kohadre

I found an awesome alternative P90x workout schedule online with the key goal being hypertrophy (MUSCLE GAIN) that I thought I would share for those interested primarily gaining muscle utilizing the P90x workouts without such a focus on the fat-loss or total-body fitness that the normal schedule follows.
