Chapter 3: Why is MAPS Anabolic considered a popular fitness program?
Now, what does it do? Well, it's genetically modified bacteria that breaks down acetaldehyde. This is one of the negative byproducts of alcohol consumption. When acetaldehyde gets released in the gut, it causes a lot of different problems in the body. What Zbiotics does is it breaks down the acetaldehyde in the gut.

It's been 10 years and over 100,000 transformations. It's the most popular fitness program that we have here at MindPump. And we're relaunching it with some new stuff. So today's episode, we're going to talk all about Maps Anabolic. And what we're adding that's new, if you want to get the relaunch, let's go.
Don't sell yourself short. It's maybe one of the most popular programs on the internet. Oh, cool. I mean, there's not a lot of- You can pit it up against any of those. 100,000 is a lot of programs, dude. That's a lot of people that have gone through Maps Anabolic. And for sure, our foundational program. And what brought us together. It did.
It did bring us together. So it was 10 years ago that we launched it, Doug. But when was the program? You wrote it almost three years before that. Was it three years before that? So yeah, we wrote it in 2013. 2013. 2013, yeah. And then we did launch it in 2016. No, we launched it initially in 2013. Oh, right. So we finished it in October 2013. That was before you guys met us. Exactly.
So you needed the help. Yeah. Just to get the word out. We tried internet marketing by ourselves.
Let's be honest.
They were missing Justin and I. So in that program, so the way that it kind of started, Doug was my client at the time. So this was way back when I had a personal training.
Way to humble me there. Yeah, I know. You pulled up P90X. Don't look at that. Oh, man. I mean, you just pulled up like the biggest ever, right? Yeah. Well, we have a ways to go. Let's just say.
How much money do they spend marketing?

Chapter 6: What is the significance of trigger sessions in strength training?
The trigger sessions came later. So the initial, when I first put the program together, and by the way, I'll touch on why it's broken up in a full body splint, why it's two to three days a week. You can find these studies now, but back when I wrote this, these studies were not like widely understood. But what happens when you build muscle or when you lift weights,
is we can measure what's called muscle protein synthesis. We can see the signal. And that's your body building muscle. Well, that spikes about 24 hours after you work out. Then it quickly drops. By 48 to 72 hours, it's down to baseline. If you wait longer, it goes below baseline. So what happens is your body will build. Then it'll drop. Then your body's like, oh, we don't need this.
And then you start to lose a little bit. So I said, you know what? Instead of training a body part once a week, Again, here we are much later, 13 years later, lots of studies support this. This isn't new now, but back then it was.
I thought, why would I hit a body part once a week like the bodybuilders when I could hit it more frequently, do a full body workout and maintain that muscle protein synthesis signal?
above baseline if it goes down after 48 hours 72 hours let's get it to pop back up now going back to bodybuilders well why do they train one body part you know a day or once a week first of all uh with those kind of genetics i bet we don't have any studies support this but i bet you if we look at their muscle protein synthesis signal it stays elevated for a long time yeah
When you're looking at a genetic freak like a Mr. Olympia or a pro bodybuilder who builds muscle, who, by the way, is more muscular than I am when they're not lifting weights. You can look at pictures of Phil Heath when he was playing college basketball. Far more muscular than I am now. That muscle protein synthesis signal just stays elevated. The average person, it drops.
And your body's not trying to build all this expensive tissue. So that's when I did the full body workout or the full body split. And then the trigger sessions came in because I said, you know what? I noticed my blue collar worker family members, they're not breaking muscle down. They're not sending a loud signal, but he's got muscular forearms. Does low level kind of signaling keep that up?
Can I send a little bit of a muscle building signal?
Frequent little hits.
