Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

And, um, and I'm going to read this just cause we've had similar experiences, but this was somebody who, um, had done other programs before done our traditional power lift program.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

and had heard us talk about how these short daily workouts could be really effective.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

So if people aren't familiar, the MAPS 15 style workout programs, you're doing essentially, well, MAPS 15 power lift, you're doing two or one lift a day, every day.

So rather than working out three days a week or so, you're going every day, but you're doing about one or two lifts.

And this is what this person said.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

They said, that's a wrap.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

I finished MAPS 15 power lift, and they were right.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

I hit PRs in each phase.

It has probably replaced PowerLift as my favorite program.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

And PowerLift is our traditional powerlifting program.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

That's right.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

It does.

And I had a similar experience about three โ€“ I think it was three years ago.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

Was that when we had the original โ€“

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

maps 15 program it was about three years ago and longer than that maybe four yeah it was inspired by after having met i had max okay max is gonna turn seven in july so the very first one was probably five six years i know i was in my 40s so i want to say i was 42 if i'm not mistaken and uh obviously i know what i'm doing i've been working out forever um and uh i had a a pr all-time lifetime pr in the deadlift of 600 pounds which i did

in my early 30s, I want to say.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

And it was just a number that I had hit once and had chased it a little bit after that, but would slow down because I'd either feel like I'd started to hurt myself or it's just a big number to chase.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2685: Hit PRs Doing Less & Lifting Smarter

Well, we had come out with MAPS 15 and Adam had shared his experience with like just a few lifts every day or a couple lifts every day rather than the longer workouts.

Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

So I started experimenting with it without the intention of

Of hitting a PR.
