Yes, totally.
For the full body.
And the pro of the full body here is the practice argument you make.
This is why, again, I lean towards this almost always to a beginner because I think the practice is so important.
The con to that, though, is it leaves less room for error for the gauging intensity.
Mm-hmm.
And so that was another difficulty I had when I switched over to⦠You don't get a full week of recovery for that body part.
And coming from a guy who trained more splits earlier on in his career⦠I guarantee you overdid it earlier.
Oh, yeah.
Honestly, I have a tendency to still do that because that intensity level towards an exercise is so ingrained into my training that I can't apply that.
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.
