Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

So I can't go to MAPS Anabolic and…

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

and apply that same mindset that I did in a split.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

Because a split, like you said, I have plenty of days to recover if I overdo the intensity.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

But with MAPS Anabolic, I'm right back in another two days, and I'm back to training those legs again.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

And it's like, oh, I can't afford to have overreached that much or else it's going to hinder that workout.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

And so it does.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

It does.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

Now, again, why I like it for beginners is it teaches them kind of that appropriate intensity level and practice.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

And that's so beneficial to someone who's more of an advanced lifter who wants to increase intensity and push it and kind of get after those muscle groups.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

That makes it a con, I feel like, for the full body and more of a pro lifestyle.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

for the split because it's like I can get away with kind of pressing the intensity lever a little bit more because I got plenty of recovery days ahead of me.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

Well, just to back up the point you're making right now, this is what led me down this kind of like, I'd say when, you know, peak bodybuilding, I was running kind of a double PPL.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

So this is a lower volume PPL.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

Yeah, six days.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

So it was PPL, PPL.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

But what that looks like for the audience to get an understanding of how I would use that and use the point that you're making right now is, let's say, for example, on a push day.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

So between every show, I always had a muscle group, an area I was trying to improve to the next show.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

And so when I was on like, let's say a push day where I'm doing push exercises, what it might look and let's say the focus on this time for the next show is delts.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

I'm backing off and I'm also doing chest that day.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2845: Full Body vs. Push Pull Legs - Which Split Builds More Muscle?

I'm backing off some of my chest exercises and I'm increasing the shoulder exercises or the sets.
