I've been doing MAPS Anabolic and completed it a second time because I felt like I hadn't perfected my form. However, I still feel like I haven't fully mastered it. I want to move on to a MAPS Aesthetic type training but will only have 2 days a week to work out. Would it be more beneficial to modify MAPS Aesthetic to a 2-day workout a week instead of 3, or would running MAPS Anabolic be more beneficial since it's already modded for 2 days a week? I was thinking the stimulus from Aesthetic would give me more gains. Also, would I be good if I was reverse dieting/in a slight bulk when doing MAPS Aesthetic?
Can you gain muscle and lose fat doing Maps 15, or is a program like Maps Anabolic better and more effective for that goal?
Is it reasonable to follow this training program after completing Anabolic 2-3 times per week, MAPS 15 Advanced several times with modifications, and Performance, while using MAPS Prime for warming up and cooling down, as well as incorporating mobility exercises as needed? I'm currently doing Anabolic again in a cut, and after this, I plan to focus on pure strength for a year. After that, I will follow Symmetry and then think about aesthetics.
