Mind Pump MAPS Anabolic Review | A Female Perspective

[@emmacolseynicholls1]

If there are any other programmes you would like to see me review. Let me know in the comments.

[@mattflynn5925]

I’d love to see your review of performance based on your preferences with functional fitness! I had a great time with performance when I did it!

[@emmacolseynicholls1]

Yes I really think I would enjoy that programme. I have a few video's I'm working on right now but I'll certainly revisit the MAPS programs soon as it's been my favourite so far for good solid and effective programming.

Great review. Thank you

[@emmacolseynicholls1]

Glad it was helpful! This is one of my favourite reviews I have done so far. I really do love the work these guys are doing and trust their programs to be good.

I have actually split Anabolic down now to lower and upper body just because it's easier to fit in. Even so, phase 1 lower still took me an hour!! I did stick to pretty much the maximum rest time. Not sure how much to reduce the rest time. I might try cutting it down by 30s to a minute on some exercises. I completely agree with you about fitness and I am doing Anabolic for a second time, but rather than the trigger sessions, I am doing some different forms of cardio in between e.g long runs, hiit and tempo runs.

love your thoughts on this!

[@emmacolseynicholls1]

Glad it was helpful. It's been one of my favourite programs to follow so far.

Doing my trigger shesh while watching your review. 👍🏾

[@emmacolseynicholls1]

Ah amazing. Wishing you all the best on your strength journey and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I just finished maps performance loved it and I'm just wondering if I should do the anabolic next and if I should make any swaps within it. I am a female too and I'm thinking I don't want to do the shrugs for example

[@emmacolseynicholls1]

I feel like you would enjoy the program regardless, it is just very well programmed. I did find that the shrugs did help with my neck and shoulder pain. I just reduced the volume a little, or sometimes swapped them out and added in some lunges as there isn't a tonne of leg work.

[@devontebailey7058]

if you really want a program by them that's more functional try out maps performance or maps strong

[@emmacolseynicholls1]

Yes I thought maps performance may be a good fit for me. Thanks for your input.

[@devontebailey7058]

same I would always skip the calf raises and abs at the end of the workouts because they're too long

[@emmacolseynicholls1]

I suppose it always comes down to tailoring workouts towards your own needs.
