Is it reasonable to follow this training program: 1. I have done Anabolic 2-3 times per week, MAPS 15 Advanced several times with modifications, and Performance. 2. I use MAPS Prime for warming up and cooling down, as well as on rest days. 3. I also incorporate mobility exercises sometimes, depending on how my body feels. Now I am doing Anabolic again in a cut. After this, I plan to focus on pure strength for a year. After that, I will follow Symmetry and then think about aesthetics.
Is it reasonable to follow this training program after doing 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, and incorporating mobility exercises as needed? Now I am 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.
Is the Symmetry program the best one to run after Maps Anabolic, or should I jump to Anabolic Advanced or a different program entirely?
