Anterior/Posterior Split and Recovery
The listener has been enjoying an anterior/posterior full body split as a switch-up from her usual leg-focused workouts. However, she's concerned about recovery and whether this split is sustainable. The hosts recommend trying MAPS Anabolic, a three-day full body program, with trigger sessions on the days in between. They suggest modifying the program by taking volume from upper body exercises and allocating it to lower body exercises. They also discuss the importance of nutrition, protein intake, and adequate sleep for recovery. Additionally, they mention that splits can be beneficial when full body workouts become too long or when an individual wants to focus more on specific body parts.
When Does an Anterior/Posterior Split Make Sense?
The hosts explain that anterior/posterior splits are typically used when full body workouts become too long due to increased volume. Furthermore, splits can become advantageous when an individual wants to focus more on specific body parts. They emphasize that most people do best with full body workouts three days a week, and splits should be considered when workouts exceed a manageable timeframe.
Recommendation: MAPS Anabolic
The hosts suggest that the listener try MAPS Anabolic, a three-day full body program with trigger sessions, to provide balance and recovery while incorporating leg exercises. They also recommend adjusting the program to focus more on lower body volume if desired. Following the program as laid out is recommended, but modifications can be made in the future based on personal preferences and goals.
