A little background to help answer the question in the direction I'm most looking for:

Today is the final Fit Test for Insanity for me, and I was planning on picking up P90X and repeating Insanity for the next two months. I have heard that large amounts of muscle can slow you down in SFAS which will hurt you in the long run.
A more direct question may be "Would the amount of muscle this routine will build be a positive or a negative when preparing for SFAS?"

Thank you.
Have you used the 6 week SFAS Preparation workout? Your "large amounts of muscle" comment is very subjective. You need both muscle and endurance, so a balance more or less. How much endurance training beyond Insanity are you doing?

I would not rely on P90X/Insanity alone to prepare for SFAS. There are existing programs (Search this site) that are much more oriented to your possible future career.

You need to focus on moving with a rucksack for long periods, getting up and down with a ruck sack and being able to mentally function at the same time. Be resourceful and a self starter.
