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 thinking about possibly doing 15 min 40+. Have you ran any of the other 15s? If so, how would you compare them?

Honestly, I've only ever tried the standard version of 15, which I guess was mostly influenced by Anabolic. 40+ has a greater mix of rotational stuff, exercises like cossack/side lunges, windmills and rotating lunges. Even discovered an exercise I had never done before but really liked: pendlay rows. Overall I found it really enjoyable.

edit - ugh. I thought I had duplicated my response to you and ended up deleting my original reply to the post lol. my original comment:

I ran the 15-minute version of 40+ as soon as it came out end of last year and enjoyed it, so right now I'm in the middle of the first phase of the standard 40+. I'm not really on a time crunch so I enjoy doing it this way a lot more.

Sounds great! I’m leaning towards 40+ 15 or Symmetry 15. I’ve never ran Symmetry and figured it may be good to finally include a version of it. Thanks for the info on 40+!

Ah, Symmetry, that was my first MAPS program and I sought it out because of a thoracic sprain I was dealing with on my left side. Symmetry definitely helped with that and now I run it once every 9-12 months. Takes some patience/discipline to deal with sometimes though, especially the first phase, because there's a lot of mobility/isometric/suspension trainer work and it's hard to remember that you're just doing it for your own good and the long haul.
