So I can't go to MAPS Anabolic andβ¦
and apply that same mindset that I did in a split.
Because a split, like you said, I have plenty of days to recover if I overdo the intensity.
But with MAPS Anabolic, I'm right back in another two days, and I'm back to training those legs again.
And it's like, oh, I can't afford to have overreached that much or else it's going to hinder that workout.
And so it does.
It does.
Now, again, why I like it for beginners is it teaches them kind of that appropriate intensity level and practice.
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.
That makes it a con, I feel like, for the full body and more of a pro lifestyle.
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.
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.
So this is a lower volume PPL.
Yeah, six days.
So it was PPL, PPL.
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.
So between every show, I always had a muscle group, an area I was trying to improve to the next show.
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.
I'm backing off and I'm also doing chest that day.
I'm backing off some of my chest exercises and I'm increasing the shoulder exercises or the sets.
