I started the MAPS Anabolic program about a month and a half ago. Before that, I was training six days a week with a push-pull-leg split. I only ever did the first foundational day of Phase One once a week. Up to two weeks ago, I've only done the second day. I understand I'm not doing what's ideal, and if anything at all, I just want to know if I should start at the beginning. The reason I did so was that I had a lot of mobility and muscle activation issues, so I kept troubleshooting the first day until I felt like I was able to achieve better muscle recruitment and range of motion on compound exercises.
Should I start the MAPS Anabolic program from the beginning?
Is it reasonable to follow the training program discussed in the episode These CONTROVERSIAL FOODS Are Actually Healthy For You! | Mind Pump 1858 and the clip Optimizing Workout Symmetry 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.
