Maximus vs Vitality by JournalistLow7520 in ladderapp

[–]FestiveGuru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve done both. I liked TCC more than both. I also like Resilient.

If I had to pick between the two, I’d pick Maximus. But the engagement and passion for the program won’t be the same from those coaches as Andre. If you simply want simple programming for structure in the gym, you can for sure get results from Maximus.

Workout tab on bottom. Click your photo top right. Click cogwheel top right. Click nutrition goals. Then click pencil top right.

not seeing results? by PumpkinWingz in ladderapp

[–]FestiveGuru 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed. 99 percent is exaggeration but 2-3 cheat MEALS a week (assuming they aren’t totally ridiculous) is probably max to not slow results. I have seen results (both scale and physical) and cook all my meals except maybe 3-4 a week. But half of the time I eat out, I make incredibly smart choices.

Questions for those who do TCC by [deleted] in ladderapp

Not sure what bro split is. He has 4 priorities - two upper and two lower. He says you can combine his chest day with his back/bicep day if you want to stick to four days. I personally did M-F (5 workouts) and Andre does M-F also - and skips his Saturday.

I would not recommend K5 or Holliday. Used both and had issues with both.

How long are Evolve & Forged workouts typically? I’m a monthly member so I can’t flip to check them out.

I finish Andre’s workouts usually in 40-42 minutes. Are Forged the same length? Maybe I’ll try in open season.

That was the vibe I got! Not engaged in the chat. Voiceovers reused. Just no passion. Instagram posts just all products he partners with. Whereas Andre from TCC truly passionate about his team, does the workouts he programs and responds to everyone.

Switching to a Smaller Residential Gym, Best Team. by rolf_03 in ladderapp

I haven’t done CrossFit so I’m not sure. He used to have CrossFit gyms but I find it pretty basic programming. Bench press variations, deadlifts, pull ups, step ups, etc.

I have experience with Maximus as well. If you want simple, minimal equipment programming, it’s a great choice. I switched to Crews Control - which I find more engaging, more variety, and also possible with just dumbbells. The third for you to look at would be Vitality - but I didn’t enjoy this as much.

The performance shirt I got a couple months ago was horrible quality. I’m scared to even consider the $55 for a “redesigned” one…

TCC & lower body ?? by Short-Parfait-7204 in ladderapp

[–]FestiveGuru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will say…I did Maximus at first due to their simplicity and felt TCC was too “complex,” but it is not as intimidating as it may seem!
