FAQ'S
The MAX/Shred and MAX/Size programs average 5 days per week with each workout clocking in between 10 minutes (for some intense conditioning work) and 50 minutes or so depending on the Alarm Level you are training at.
Both MAX/Shred and MAX/Size will require equipment. While there is a great deal of bodyweight training programmed, you will need the basics for a home gym such as some dumbbells, an adjustable bench, resistance band, pull-up bar, and a barbell to complete the exercises as they are programmed.
That said, as with AX-1, exercise swaps can be made to overcome the lack of a barbell with dumbbell adaptations coming in as suitable replacements.
The MAX/Shred program is not designed to be fit into the existing AX-1 schedule or any other A-X workout, as it is a stand alone program with the perfect amount of volume included to achieve the goal of maximum fat loss without loss of strength or size.
Absolutely! Though fat storage tends to occur differently in women than it does men, the power of MAX/Shred is that it acts globally by ignoring spot reduction myths and working instead on maximizing caloric burn without sacrificing the lean muscle you have. This is the exact combination that women need to focus on when trying to lose fat. Many other programs tend to ignore the importance of strength training as part of the process. That said, you will need to be comfortable with and willing to train with weights and perform some heavier training in order to achieve the results that MAX/Shred can deliver.
The MAX/Size and MAX/Shred programs are not designed to be performed at the same time, as they are stand alone 12 week programs, allowing you to focus your effort on one goal at a time. That said, they were designed to build off of each other and work perfectly when done in succession! Whether you want to focus on fat loss or lean muscle gain first, the other program will smoothly pick up where the first one leaves off allowing you to create your own physique over 24 weeks!
MAX/Shred puts the science back in fat loss training and ignores fruitless “spot reduction” in an effort to accelerate overall bodyfat loss from wherever it is being stored in excess. The workouts are designed to be metabolically demanding, while at the same time lean muscle sparing, so you can keep what you want and get rid of what you don’t!
Yes! If you did nothing but follow the Shred Meal Plan alone, you would see considerable results. Combine that with the scaled down versions of the workouts to ease your way into the training, and you will be well on your way to getting the physique you have long imagined!
Yes. With the scalable “alarms” present in each workout, MAX/Shred allows even the most extreme athletes to be challenged and for fat loss to occur. In fact, it is a badge of honor to be able to finish the workout at the 5 Alarm Level!
