You just have to push it enough to make progress and SX12 shows you how to do that. We don’t believe that building muscle only comes after you’ve pushed yourself to the breaking pout. This program uses the 80/20 principle to hone in on the most effective methods with the least psychological resistance to build a bigger, more muscular body that meshes easily with your current daily routine. Well, Superhero X12 shows you how to get a great body with the least amount of effort. That sure doesn’t sound very motivating to keep working out now does it? In AX1, you could be burning yourself out on almost every exercise to the point of hating yourself. That’s a plan for disaster.Īnd second, according to scientific literature, there are no notable benefits to training to failure versus training to a set number of goal reps.

DB Hammer Curls: 3 sets x 10 rep max (TO FAILURE)įirst of all, beginners should never be using their rep maxes in general work sets of a program.

Standing DB Row: 3 sets x 12 rep max (TO FAILURE).

When you go into the AX1 portal and click through to the workout program, you’ll see things like this: Second, according to Athlean-X AX1, you need to train almost all of your exercises to failure to see muscle growth… which is wrong.

You don’t have to waste money buying multiple programs because SX12 has specific workouts, diets, and strategies to help you do it all.

And it has workouts for both beginners and intermediates!.

Take a more AGGRESSIVE shredding approach.

This program teaches you everything you need to… Superhero X12 is different because it covers ALL fitness goals. It’s not just a foundational strength program. Wouldn’t you rather have rather have all the fitness lessons you need from the start? So this program is a good pick for me, right?”īut what are you going to do 3-6 months from now when you’re done with this program?Īre you gonna head back to the Athlean-X website, dig out your credit card again, and let them pull another hundred bucks from your bank account so you can start another program? You should consider Superhero X12 by FitMole before your dive into AX1.įirst, AX1 is a foundational program designed just for beginners, but that’s all it does.Īnd I can hear you asking… “But I’m a beginner. Without forcing dumping your favorite foods in the trash because they don’t fit with your “meal plan”… Without working out more than 3 days per week… If you want to get leaner and build more muscle to draw attention… However, it’s not our top recommendation for noobs that want to improve their body with the least amount of effort.

I wanted to pop in here at the beginning to let you know that our opinion on Athlean-X’s AX1 program has changed a little since we first published this review.
