Mind Pump Media<\/a> started out as a podcast. The hosts, Sal, Adam and Justin, together with the producer Doug, share their insights about fitness<\/a>, health<\/a> or fat loss<\/a> in almost daily shows. They really tell it as it is, debunking common myths, misunderstandings in order to help you figure out what works and what doesn’t. In this article I introduce you to MAPS Anabolic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAPS Anabolic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first fitness program they ever sold was MAPS Anabolic (also referred to as MAPS Red)<\/a>, which is now part of the MAPS RGB bundle. Years ago I bought the RGB bundle, just to see what it was all about. And to learn more about programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason I did this review, is because people kept asking me about my thought about it. Does it work? How was it? Is it fun? Can you actually get stronger? Is it worth the money?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAPS Anabolic Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After repeating myself a few times, I decided to review not only MAPS Anabolic<\/a>, but also the complete RGB bundle as video reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just to be clear: this review is my personal opinion. No one paid me to do it. I received no incentive writing this article or recording the video.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the review<\/a>, I tackle all the questions mentioned above, and more. If you are intrigued, have a look and make sure to give my video a like and share your thoughts in the comments too. I will share more videos in the future and would love to see you around, so make sure to subscribe to my channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will learn everything about MAPS Anabolic in my YouTube review, but here are a few highlights of the program:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAPS Anabolic is a phased program, which contains 4 different phases. There is an initial pre-phase, which you might want to do if you haven’t trained in years or maybe never before. Then you have the actual training phases, one for strength, hypertropy and pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each phase is three weeks long and comes with a 2 to 3 day a week full-body training blueprint. You will do all the compound lifts, additional isolation work and also work your calves and abs too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On your non-full-body training days, you won’t be sedentary, you will do up to 3 times a day, so called “trigger sessions”. In these sessions you will use bands to pump some blood in the your muscles. These sessions last for around 5 minutes. They will help you grow, even if it doesn’t sound like much. This is the biggest and most important feature of the program – don’t skip these!.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope this gets you excited to watch my review<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
