 Our next caller is Daniel from Pennsylvania. Hey Daniel, how can we help you? Hey, how are you? Nice to talk to you. So I just found out, I just discovered you guys about six or eight weeks ago when I switched to a three-day a week full-body workout and I'm enjoying it. My question is, I get a, it takes me about 75 to 90 minutes per workout. And I was wondering, since I get about an hour break for lunch at work, if I could split that workout into two sessions just to get some of it done either before work or after and the rest during my lunch break. Yeah, no, whatever you do, don't split your workouts. You'll go backwards. I'm just lying. I'm just getting Daniel. This is a very common question, by the way. Actually, I was just going to say, here's something that's interesting and is the reason why workouts are, if you look at all the studies, right? You look at all the strength athlete studies and the studies we've seen with Olympic athletes and whatnot. They actually show that shorter, multiple workouts a day are superior. Now the reason why workouts are once a day is it's extremely inconvenient for most people. Most people don't want to go to the gym more than once a day at most, so it's inconvenient. And the difference isn't huge, but there is a difference. Here's the truth, Daniel. Doing two short workouts or shorter workouts will probably get you better results than doing one long workout. That's just the truth. And I've experimented to this with myself. Absolutely. I've done this myself many times and that splitting up of the workouts actually can increase the amount of volume that your body can tolerate and the adaptations you get from it tend to come a little bit faster. So it's not a big difference for somebody who's a beginner per se, but if you're an intermediate or advanced, splitting up workouts is pretty damn awesome. So this is a cool thing. If you can do this and you have the time and the discipline to work out twice a day, I think you're going to love the results. This is actually my favorite way to run our MAPS Antibolic program because MAPS Antibolic is a full body routine. And I like, because it can, because I'm doing big compound lifts, it can start to drag out beyond an hour. And so I like to split up my upper and lower body in the same day. And because I have that luxury like you do where I can get to a gym where we're in a studio where we have a gym, I can work out in the morning for a half hour and then I can finish to work out after we're done podcasting in the afternoon. I love to do that. And like Sal said, there's actually benefits to doing that over cramming it all in one hour and 15 minutes. That's great. Is there anything nutrition wise that I should be doing between the two workouts? Yeah, refueling for sure. Yeah, so after your first, so this is where the post workout window, if you've ever heard that makes sense is where it actually makes a difference. So after your first workout, make sure you have some carbohydrates and some proteins, if not once at least twice before your next workout, so that you've replenished some of the glycogen in your muscles and you can have the second workout you don't suffer from having the first work. In other words, you want to be able to hit that second workout with a similar strength and intensity that you hit the first workout. Otherwise, what will end up happening is that whatever you work in the second workout isn't going to get the same results as what you worked in the first workout. Yeah, your biggest enemy in your workouts is fatigue. And this is one of those ways that you can extend your workout and have, you know, better performance in your workout, even with working on technique and, you know, really like addressing all the areas of your body you want to. So I think this is like a beautiful plan. Great. Alright, well, thanks. That's awesome. Thanks for calling in, man. Thanks for your support. Right. Thank you so much. Yeah, it's just, you know, back in the day, I didn't realize this was a thing that you could get better results from splitting up workouts. And I actually got it from somebody that worked for me. I saw this guy who had this trainer who had this incredible bench press. And I noticed that in between as a trainer, in between clients, he would go to the bench and he'd do like two or three sets. Yep. And he'd just do this throughout the day. And they were like submaximal. He wasn't doing, you know, 90% intensity. It was probably around 60% intensity. And he's like, oh yeah, he goes, if I want to get stronger at a lift or bring up a lagging body part, I just train it that way. I mean, this is true with most things. If you think about what you do constantly throughout the day, you know, whether it's in your job or just like physically what you do throughout the day. Like if, if I'm climbing, you know, constantly like sporadically throughout the day, I'm going to be really good at that. My body is really going to like recognize that right away and perform at a higher level. Well, much of the your trigger session philosophy comes from this. This is what supports that. This is why it's so beneficial to do these little 10, 15 minute band workouts throughout the day. And why people have huge results when they fall. And I think that's one of the secret or hidden secrets of Maps Anabolic is that it has these trigger sessions, which is you're just breaking up these little 10 minute workouts throughout the day that aren't even that intense. You think it's, oh, it's not that intense. So I'm not going to see the results, but it is. It's the frequency of doing this throughout the day. And then I remember Sal on the show, it was God, it's been probably a year and a half, two years when you took this to the extreme level, when you split up and then you train it. I didn't all day work out. All day work out. Have you guys experimented with that yet? I have. I haven't to your level, but I've messed with it a little bit where I've worked out like three or four times in a day. So what do you guys notice from doing that? Oh, it's phenomenal. Oh yeah, you get way better at these lifts. And psychologically it's weird because you don't ever really break a hard sweat or it doesn't feel like you're really training your foot. Totally. But then at the end of the day, when I go back and I calculate like, The volume's crazy. The volume's a ton. Oh yeah. So I mean, the way I would do it is I'd go, every other hour I do like two or three exercises for a few sets. That's it. The intensity wouldn't be super high. It'd be around 70%. But by the end of the day, I've done like five sessions and the volume is just tremendous. And I feel phenomenal and I actually get stronger. Here's a funny thing. If you do these all day workouts, let's say you're squatting every other hour for a few sets up until, you know, let's say you start at 9am and you end up finishing around 6pm or something like that. You'll actually find yourself getting stronger throughout the day. It's really, really trippy. Yeah.
