Adam Schafer

It has probably replaced PowerLift as my favorite program.

And PowerLift is our traditional powerlifting program.

That's right.

It does.

And I had a similar experience about three – I think it was three years ago.

Was that when we had the original –

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.

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.

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.

So I started experimenting with it without the intention of

Of hitting a PR.

I just wanted to see, and if you go back on some of our podcasts.

I had no intentions of trying to hit a PR.

It was literally, let's see how little I could do and maintain.

Maintain my strength, maintain my muscle.

To my surprise, even though we promote this to listeners all the time,

I was getting stronger and stronger and stronger.

And within, I think it was like 70 days, it wasn't even three months.

It was like less than three months.
