Another common myth deals with training frequency. ALL THE TIME people make these ridiculous splits and worry about overtraining.

Here are a few quotes directly from that article:

"Some evidence suggests that the training frequency has a large impact on the rate of gain in muscle volume for shorter periods of training."

"For hypertrophy, studies suggest that training two or three times per week is superior to training one time per week, even when volume is equal."

But you don't train for size, you train for strength????

This is from a meta-analysis of a ****load of people. It's not a little study on a small group. It shows that maximal strength gains for beginners (which most people who ask are) are elicited at 3 days/week.... And it then moves to 2 days/week and STAYS THERE. Never does it mention the best strength gains occurring when you train once per week (I can see an argument possibly being made for the elite, but no one here is, so it's irrelevant).

MYTH DENIED! You will not die from training more than once per weekly, and on the contrary, you will more than likely actually gain BETTER with the increase in training frequency.

Wise choice. I've reviewed the P90x nutritional plan, and consider it about 20 years out of date, as far as lipolysis. I suggest NOT starting it untill you are fairly fat-adapted, to reduce chances of hypoglycemic energy drops since its pretty intense. I also suggest more of a TKD approach, with carbs (dextrose, etc.) after workouts....
