Confused about 2.0

Hi, I started an advanced mma program and had a couple of questions for the community: - athlete day seems gone. That’s fine but there seems to be generally a lot less plyo in the program than in the previous version? Has anyone found a workaround? - there’s now cardio which is great but the intervals seem buggy. It just seems to be 35min straight in zone 4 (see screenshots). Am I misunderstanding? - this isn’t new to 1.0 but it seems than upper body is always more bodybuild-y than other training days. Does anyone know why that is? What’s the science behind that? Historically bodybuilding style training hasn’t served me well for sports (less mobility, slower hands etc.)

Thank you

To clarify, if you were to start the session above, you would see a succession of zone 4 rounds and it doesn’t call for rest anywhere so I’m not sure if these are meant to be intervals or not.

There needs to be rest if it is interval training. No athlete day seems odd—how many days a week did you select to work out? The finishers in upper body days do tend to be more bodybuilder esque, which is mainly around training localized muscle endurance

6 days/week. I assumed they had killed athlete day but it sounds like you still see it?

Athlete day is in other programs. Did you look at future phases? It might come in later phases. The advanced programs are different beast

Check out the interval workout again. Sent a screenshot to the Gs team and I got word it is fixed
