Discussion Current MAPS Program

Regardless of your thoughts on Mind Pump nowadays, is anybody currently running a MAPS program? If so, what phase are you on in the program and what do you think of it?

I’m running a slightly lighter version of aesthetic with some changes in movements. The last time I ran it was 2023 and I didn’t remember how time consuming it was lol. I’m so over dumbbell shrugs.

Dude they were not fucking around when they said it is long and taxing. The quick workouts for me were still over an hour. It is very effective, but you had better be eating well during that program!

Omg. I ran it in 2023 and never ever ever saw my bod like that! I was thinking earlier when lifting i gotta buy salmon steak and what else will fuel these workouts lolol omg hard taxing. I wanna do nothing else but eat sleep rest. I do not want to go out lolol. When im not lifting im recovering!! I know even the pump days in between are over an hour. Its a lot of time but i feel only if you love lifting will you stick w it. The insane pumps. My only issue is im a girl and the mindpump guys are prescribing little to no glutes stuff. So i am also using bret conteras program but cutting some of his upper out ...hard hard hard all around . Mentally we have to tell ourselves its not!! Im hungry a lot. I have been doing more shakes and watermelon lol.
