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.
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?
I purchased the Strong program last year and never got to it. I opened the program today to check it out, and I need some advice on modifying it: The volume is too high for me. I like the movements in the functional phase, but combined with the work sessions as set out, that will be too much volume for me. I found Aesthetics had too much volume and ended up breaking it down into two-day workouts (e.g., day 1 workout split over two days) without doing the focus sessions. Anabolic, Performance, and Symmetry are okay for me volume-wise. How can I modify the Strong program to suit my needs?
