Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2541: This Strength Building Technique Activates More Muscle Fibers... & You're Probably Not Using It (Listener Live Coaching)

Yeah, I would love to put you on MAPS Anabolic. The two days that you were kind of doing abs, you could still do that as your trigger days. So in MAPS Anabolic, we've got the three days a week plus โ€“ two days are trigger sessions. And so you could follow that protocol, still do your kind of going to the gym or going in your garage, working out five days a week. But it's a little more organized.

It's probably going to be, well, not probably, it is less volume than what I'm looking at right now with your program. So, I mean, I would love to let you follow that for three months and see what happens. And I bet you get as good of results, if not better, with about half the work.

Well, that's just it. I think Sal said it well, which is I don't think you're necessarily overtraining, and I don't necessarily think you have to change this, but I think you could. I think you could do something like MAPS Anabolic, which is about half the volume, and I think you would see as good, maybe even better results. But so it really comes down to you and what you want to do.

If you really enjoy these long two-hour workouts and you feel good and fine, you're seeing results. I mean, at your age, how long you've been training, putting on five, six pounds like that in the timeframe you did is not bad. No, you're moving forward. But yeah, it could be better. And, you know, always remember too, what you can tolerate isn't necessarily what's optimal.

So even though your body can handle the two-hour workout and all the exercise you're doing, it doesn't necessarily mean it's the most optimal amount of volume for your body. And sometimes that's hard to gauge because you're like, I feel fine. I'm doing it. I'm not too sore. I'm still recovering. I'm still seeing results. But it is a lot.

And maybe if I were to cut back a little bit, would I see more? And so I think a good experiment... would be let Doug send you Maps Anabolic, run it for a while. It's not going to hurt just trying it out. Yeah, follow it the way it's laid out. You could still go into the gym five days a week like you are.

The days that you were kind of doing abs and stuff, you can keep doing that with your trigger sessions and see how your body responds and see if you enjoy it. And it should take you about half the time.

It doesn't need to be an all or nothing situation. That's right.
