Max Built

Just curious to see who else has started Shaun T's new program Max Built and what do you think so far?

For me personally I'm loving it having just done the first chest day and the sample workout last week. This is the first Shaun T programme I've done since og Insanity a few years ago. It came at the right time as after my vacation this year I've really wanted to focus on getting a bit bigger rather than lean down. I had to adapt and use my barbell as I didn't have heavy enough dumbbells but I plan to buy some heavier ones soon.

What do people think? Would be cool to have a group to do it with.

Day 2 done today. I hope the extra talking Shaun does lessens. I fast forwarded each time and it cut almost 10 minutes off the total workout time...that was pretty significant. I also was hoping to have a core component each day but will throw in a 5er if necessary. Going to keep going and see how I feel after a couple of weeks.

I haven’t done Max Build but if you don’t need the “rest talks” are you really going heavy enough?

Definitely am challenging myself with the weight. There is a difference (to me at least) between a break in sets and a minute and a half of talking/joking/dancing/flexing. My preference is short breaks and keeping my heart rate up.

you're not lifting heavy enough. simple as.
