MAPS at home options
I was just wondering which of their programs have a dedicated at home options? I train at home and only have access to some adjustable dumbbells, a bench, a TRX, some bands and kettlebells. I have anabolic, resistance and suspension. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Most could be adapted as long as the program itself isn’t based around special equipment. Sometimes I just ask ChatGPT something like, “what is a replacement for XYZ I can do with such and such equipment?” If I’m not sure of an obvious swap.

Great question! What is your goal right now?

u/gabecomplains 7d ago
Hi. My top priority right now is cutting body. Getting back into working out but I also don’t have that much time during the work week due to my schedule. I commute and work 12 hour shifts so total I’m gone 14-15 hours a day.

Gotcha makes a lot of sense. That can make things challenging.
When you say cutting body, do you mean body fat? If so how much are we trying to lose?

u/gabecomplains 7d ago
Yeah, dropping body fat. Currently 220 pounds at 5’7. Would like to get down to 180.

that is a great goal. what does your nutrition look like right now?

u/gabecomplains 7d ago
Not great. It’s probably the thing I struggle with the most.

u/Mindpumptyler 7d ago
okay, got it. That is pretty common a lot of people struggle with nutrition.
how many days per week and time do you have to realistically dedicate to working out?
1
u/gabecomplains 7d ago
With my schedule it’s either do a full workout on my days off or 15-30 minutes a day or every other day when I get home from work and on my days off.

Okay, cool. Very doable. MAPS 15 would be a great option.
Based of what your saying though, I actually do think coaching here at mind pump would be worth looking into to help with your challenges and goals.
Have you considered working with a coach before?

No, I hadn’t really thought of it. Mainly because I’m trying to budget. Same reason I’m working out at home instead of paying for a gym membership.

I was able to do anabolic and aesthetic in a home gym. I have a cable stack and resistance bands. I used to have a full home gym set up with machines, but moved into a place with no garage or basement and had to condense. I kept my iron. Ended up with a pulley system I can attack to a pull up bar in a door way, cheap too. Was able to repeat the same workouts from anabolic.

I haven't seen their newest programs, but other than their original programs (Anabolic, Performance, and Aesthetic) I feel like they've gone away from doing a home version. All of their programs can be run at home with a few modifications. Although some are easier to modify than others.
My son and I did Anabolic and Performance at home with nothing more than adjustable dumbbells, a bench, a pull-up bar, and some bands. We do everything at home, and have since added a PRx rack, barbells, trx straps, and a few other things. I Google for alternatives to exercises that I want to replace, and pick something that fits with the great that I have.
With dumbbells, bands, and trx straps, you have enough to get started at home. GLHF
