The hosts, Sal, Adam and Justin, together with the producer Doug, share their insights about <a href=\"https:\/\/taoofstefan.com\/blog\/main\/lifestyle\/dont-do-cardio-for-weight-loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fitness<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/taoofstefan.com\/blog\/sport-fitness\/fitness\/why-training-your-legs-matters-for-your-health-short-tao\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">health<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/taoofstefan.com\/blog\/main\/lifestyle\/the-crash-diet-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">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&#8217;t. In this article, I introduce you to MAPS PED (or on <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/imWPbf2bXkI\">YouTube<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-db8ecb88-09b3-4067-8913-33c06ee417b3\">&#8220;MAPS P.E.D. is our highest volume and most challenging muscle building and body sculpting program to date. It was specifically designed to meet the demands of the advanced, genetically gifted male or female lifter and\/or the pharmaceutically enhanced lifter. This program will maximize your muscle building potential by taking advantage of your hyper responsiveness to training and your superior recovery ability.\u00a0MAPS P.E.D. is a twice a day double split routine (5 or 6 day a week options that are only suitable for the most hardcore and dedicated lifters).\u00a0It\u2019s broken up into four phases. Phase 1 targets maximal strength with low reps and heavy weight which will give you granite hard look. Phase 2 is closer to traditional bodybuilding training with moderate rep ranges and more of a focus on specific muscle targeting to develop a more balanced body. Phase 3 amps up the pump factor by utilizing compound sets when you learn to train opposing muscle groups together for maximum skin tightening full body pumps. Phase 4 is all about peaking your muscle shape and fullness with supersets, a faster pace and higher reps for that finished sculpted look. MAPS P.E.D. also includes a once a week mobility component to ensure better ranges of motion for more muscle fiber stimulation and for enhanced aesthetics.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-1a4954ec-caa7-4df0-a499-ac1943425bbd\">Why am I doing this?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason I did this review, is because people kept asking me about my thought about it.

No one paid me to do it.
