 Next question is from simple not easy three. I just started anabolic last week and I already feel stronger What makes the program so effective? No, you know why I picked this question. This is a good good discussion. So so they're talking about maps anabolic and The the reason why we get this question often with this program This will turn into a good discussion is because when you look at maps anabolic with the for the untrained eye You look at the programming and you're like, oh, I I know all these exercises like what's so great about it Like, okay, you're doing some sets here. You're doing some reps here. I see that you're doing squats I see you're doing deadlifts at these. Yeah, what's what's so great about this? And it's a good discussion because it highlights the value of programming and by the way And all the most effective workout programs that people talk about online So you know starting strength five by five, you know maps anabolic You can put that up to other programs if you look at them and these are all ones that people Constantly promote and say man if you do this, you'll you'll notice results They all appear to be very simple They focus on the basics, but the beauty is in the programming the frequency Mechanics and all that stuff. So that's why it's so effective It's because it's taking the most effective parts and then it puts it together in a recipe that just works and it does again It highlights that the complexity and weirdness of a program doesn't have much to do You know what the type of results? I mean, this is the reason why my input happened This would not have happened had Sal sent me over a program He was working on and then it looked like all the other Yeah, it looked like all the other influencers programs that are out there because at this point in my career there's there's a handful of things that I had started to piece together and He addressed all of them in that and frequency was one of them. The big compound lifts was another Starting somebody in a five by five strength phase. These were all things I started to hack into and realize like we're magical right like one of the easy first of all We train a majority of women. So most our clients probably 70% were females What I found out of training so many of them over all the years is there's a very small percentage of them That are not afraid of lifting heavy weight. There's a massive stigma still there. Yeah, there's like 1% of clients I got in my entire career that were female that were like, oh, yeah out of my train five by five Like never did that happen So and you know as a trainer if you move somebody into a phase of training that you know one is extremely valuable and two They've never done before on away They're gonna be they're gonna see results like they've never saw before or like what they saw when they first touched Waits the first time so that was the other thing then I at that time to realize like You know instead of doing all these crazy creative exercises If I could just get my clients to do those five big lifts and to do them Frequently two to three times a week their body would just rapidly change that was inside the program like that The trigger sessions were also freaking Mind-blowing because that was a time too when I was realizing that oh, it's not about hammer your body And then don't touch it for entire week. It's that that whole balloon idea of constantly kind of popping the balloon up and keeping that You know consistently. Yeah, that exact and helping facilitate recovery and keep that signal up all those things are in that program And it's just a a perfect storm for 90% of the population that's interested in training and if you add all those things together and they follow a program It's why it's why it sells the most everything in there was geared around honing in that muscle-building signal Which is what you describe all the time and Made sure that each one of those components was you know driving that signal back in the forefront And so it's again, and that's why it's so effective because it has all those Implemented in there deliberately so it'll keep you in that state. Yeah, it's again It's in to most people who are consumers in this space So they're not fitness professionals or coaches with lots of experience It can be hard to judge a routine when you look at it, you know people will send you a program This is my workout and to the untrained eye. It's all it's typically this is how they'll judge it. Oh, wow That looks really challenging. I think that's gonna be a good workout or oh my god. What is that exercise? I never heard it before. Oh, wow, that looks really crazy. I think I'm gonna try that And so they just have no idea and they end up picking program or they pick a program because Someone that looks the way they want to write is promoting their shredded so therefore it's gonna happen to me Yeah, and you know, this is one of the reasons why even though I never competed in strength sports One of the reasons why I I play so much value on strength sports like power lifting Olympic lifting or any type of competitive sport where you have to lift where it's objective It's like you really get stronger. You don't strong man competition The reason why even at an early age, you know, even when I subscribed to all the bodybuilding magazines I also subscribed to these obscure power lifting magazines because I really realized early on These guys and girls like they are following the best workouts because you either get stronger or you don't like You can there's a lot of people that look better than me That don't work out nearly as well as I do and have nearly the good diet that I have because of genetics or other factors but when you're in competition over Strength and you either get stronger or you don't and that's the bottom line So the best programming came out of these strength camps and also when you look at the way People trained or strength athletes trained, you know at the turn of the century before supplements before Advertisers it was just what worked and you found some commonalities like everybody trained the whole body three days a week This is how everybody worked out some people split it up and most people did it Everybody did certain lifts and got really good at them. Nobody trained a failure They all said no you got to make sure you have enough energy for the next workout And it's like there's wisdom there, you know, well, it's very deceiving for the consumer because you can get shredded on a shitty program Because getting shredded is is just reducing body fat So if you're just touching weights and you're dieting and you get lean You you might have the perception as a consumer like man that program worked hella good Like no your diet worked really good. That's got there in spite of the crap. That's right And the the program actually didn't help you as much as you think if you have really good programming And you diet. Well, it's amazing even more how much progress you can make But if you don't know that and you look at a program and what you're looking for is How creative it is or how many random things in it that you don't know or how hard it looks like It's going to be like those are all terrible markers of what a good program is It's in it's actually the beauty and anabolic is its simplicity. So I had a I had a buddy This reminds me of the story had a buddy who's always had challenging challenges growing his legs He was tall. He had relatively skinny legs No matter what he did they wouldn't build and he did all the routines and all the combinations and the leg press and hack squat and leg curl and stuff and then Somebody told them to do this program called squat every day. I don't know if you guys heard about this Yeah, where you do squats every single day now you vary the intensity so some days are hard some days are real easy, but you do nothing else for your legs except you do squats and He was convinced because he had tried everything and I told him I said this is the one thing that's gonna work for you guys I'm skeptical like squats. He goes too simple. I do all these other exercises. Let's see what happens He gained more so he gained so much size in his legs over such a short per time He got stretch marks and his legs and he was blown away and he couldn't believe it Yeah, it's it's the the programming isn't just the the the weirdness or craziness or variety of exercises Programming has a lot more to do with Things that really work and oftentimes when we look at something that's designed that way to us It seems simple and rudimentary, but that's not that's not true Try it out and then see what ever than a software engineer writing code I mean one of us could sit down and put a bunch of code Yeah, I can put a bunch in a row too and be like hey check out my code. I wrote it fucking you plug it in it doesn't work I feel that insulted when I see programming sometimes by by trainers at try and claim some shits good like oh check this out like no Bro, they probably how a software engineer would feel if I sat down trying to write code for fucking a computer laugh at me
