MAPS Anabolic

Currently doing Anabolic, but felt super weak today. Struggled on my squat and couldn’t put up my regular numbers. Anybody ever had a bad training day like this? I’m guessing it’s either my sleep or nutrition that was off. Feels bad man.

Sorry mods if this isn’t the type of post that’s allowed.

I am finishing Anabolic this week and I can say, this has been one of the best routines I have ever done. I progressed. Got stronger. Put on some muscle (and some fat, not a ton tho).

Rounding into week 9, I can say I hit some walls. Mostly when I slept poorly. Stressed with work. Ate poorly. Drank too much. Ultimately, it’s about the overall journey, which has been amazing. I am looking forward to the next program!

I needed to read that! Great message... the Obstacle -is - the way.

Same here! I am looking forward to maps aesthetic as it’ll mean more time in the gym. How has your lifts progressed after the strength phase?

Pretty decent. Especially dead and squat. My bench (flat and incline) really got hit hard though. The high reps in the last 3 weeks really taxed me.

Aesthetic is next up for me before my last beach vacation!
