 Short on time, but want to maximize your gym performance and gains watch this our next caller is Felix from Louisiana Felix what's going on man? How can we help you? Hey, first off. I wanted to say thank y'all really appreciate the opportunity. I show this question, but One of the questions I wanted to ask you is I'm kind of running through the maps maps aesthetics right now and The program does take a good bit of time About 90 minutes if I do all of the movements and exercises and sets and so forth and I'm currently I'm a dad of four and so time is a you know, not a lot of it So I'm trying to condense the workouts down and I was wondering if Using super sets is something that is recommended or or you can do in a Maps program and I've seen some of the programs and only a few use super sets or they use some Agonist super sets not antagonists and so forth and so I was just kind of interested to see which I'll stop for To cut down on time length of the program or just move removing movements altogether So it's curious about super setting exercises in the program. I know you don't ideally want to edit programs. So yeah No, well actually ideally you do want to modify programs to fit your individual body and needs However, it's a good idea to go through the programs first the way that they're laid out and then start to because here's a deal We create programs for the masses So it's never gonna be as good as an individualized workout Okay, that being said you got to figure it out and learn how your body responds and don't just change the programming on the Fly because anytime you change the programming you run the risk of making the program less effective again that being said You might be in a situation where you got to do that anyway And so it's okay sacrificing some of the programming because it just doesn't work with your with your schedule kids are more important Yeah, so, you know, that's okay. I would say this you're probably better off Just shortening the rest times overall rather than doing super set super setting is more of a program change Then you know cutting some of the rest period short. You could also try something like this You know maps aesthetic is a three full body day workout and then you have focus sessions You could try saving some of the exercises for the focus session. That's a hundred percent what I would do I mean the focus sessions are only like 20 30 minutes long So what I've done with clients that don't want to miss anything that's in the program is hey take two or three of those Exercises on the foundational days move them over to your focus days And then you'll still end up hitting everything you want also The reason why to I think Sal's not recommending to super set right now because that might be an option another program This program actually has that so you I think it's phase three Phase three you're gonna get into a lot of super sets and the idea is that you it's it's novel when you get into that So you don't want to be doing it for the entire program Not that we couldn't and then the then the other thing is also I don't know if you have any other programs But there's other programs that are probably a little more conducive for you know a dad who's got a lot on his plate Yeah, and I mean you can you can build an incredible physique running maps anabolic and that's only a three day a week Type of a program. I just I think we all tend to go towards the one that you know Is that the bodybuilder inspired or changing aesthetics? Yeah, and you know think that you need to train six days a week in the gym And it's just not true. I mean I run more of an anabolic style routine most of the time So there's nothing wrong with you, you know switching out using their program or modifying it like we like Sal said Or putting it on the focus days. I like that a lot Yeah, I would just clear of like yet changing the kind of adaptation we're seeking So that's like the if we're doing super set we have that intentionally in phase three So you focus on that but like in terms of you know, if it's a time issue, you know kind of scaling back and maybe Taking a bit of the volume out but but sticking with the same type of you know rest and in rep range Yeah, and now you didn't mention super sets with agonist antagonists. So yeah So my background so I was a personal trainer for six eight years and then I made a career change And so I've always understood I think I've seen y'all talk about compound sets or super sets That my mind always was super sets could be antagonists or Agonist muscles and so I was thinking with this more so not so much the same muscle groups But doing you know like a chest back. Yeah for the sake of saving time Yeah, that's more of what I was thinking and you know the reason why I chose maps black It's because I've always been a performance driven person sports athletics and so I wanted to try something I've never I've never done any type of body building program ever and so I wanted to try something different Yeah, good and that's why I chose this one. So yeah Well Felix, okay with considering your background Which means you know, you know some stuff and what you said about antagonists super sets or you know Otherwise notice maybe compound sets. Yeah, that's less of a program change than a super set for the same body part That's strategy at all. Yeah. So I do that sometimes the only challenges your stamina, you know Might be a bit of an issue but going from bench press to barbell row Is very different than bench press to fly right for yeah, so yeah, you can definitely do that You can definitely try that out. It doesn't change the programming or the adaptation Nearly as much as a super set for the same body part and again, I do that sometimes where I'll go Back chest back chest, you know bicep tricep bicep tricep, you know type of deal Okay, and as far as other programs go just curious for a dad For what would be some of the other ones? Maybe you would recommend to run after this Maps at a block or map strong. I bet you would love map strong That is a great that is such an underrated great program for building muscle with your athletic background, too I think you'll love it. Mm-hmm. Okay. Okay. I appreciate that Do you have by the way? Do you have access to map strong? So I'll just give it to you I just purchased it during New Year. So well, you're all set. What about my ball? Let me give you something What do you got? I do not have maps. I do not have maps and a ball Anabolic is another great one. I mean, that's a three-day routine and it you know being a busy dad myself I tend to fall back on that one a lot. I think all of us do to be honest I think I think that's a common program for all of us. Yeah, I'll send that over to you, right? I appreciate that guys. Thanks Felix. All right. Thank y'all. You got it. I like this question Because this is cut this it was neat because obviously he knew what he's doing, right? He's not like completely newbie at all And I think we have the people have this idea that you have to follow the programs to a tee and We actually and we don't say it as much we used to say a lot when we first started that we recommend that you modify You run through it one time as close to it as possible And then you start to to modify it for you your body your time all these things and Really all the suggestions that we said and he said none of them are wrong, right, you know It's really just it's playing around with that and seeing what works best for you and you know Yes, the programs are best I think ran if you run it to a tee, but let's be on none of us do that I mean nobody in here pulls out their phone and runs maps anabolic or aesthetic it exactly how it's laid out most of us Follow the programming and then modify it a little bit how it is. Yeah, I think there's this There's this conflict that people have which is I want to do the most effective possible programming For my goal, but they don't put in their goal their lifestyle, which well my goal is also I got to be at it here in 60 minutes Maybe I'm more tired or I have pain in this particular joint or you know, here's a muscle group I want to develop a little bit more like that's all part of your goal So modifying your workouts means optimizing your workout for all of that not just like what's the best for? Bodybuilding or what's the best for you know body sculpting or performance You got to look at all of it and that's okay There's trade-offs, but there's nothing wrong with that because like like with Felix, you know He's got he doesn't have a lot of time. He's got kids. So that's part of it So is he gonna build less muscle as a result and maybe who cares like this is obviously important to him So change the workout. Yeah, it's well it kind of highlights one of those parts of our business That we we started to work on and people don't really understand that we have like Modifications available to like if you have different types of pursuits and you want to be able to incorporate those within our main staple programs We do have maps mods and you know, that's something that we are planning on expanding upon as well But yeah, it's we our intention was always to be able to integrate You know your specific needs and make it more individualized.
