Special Features of Athlean X Max Size
German Volume Training Approach: This proven approach will help you gain mass quickly with 5 weekly workouts over a 90 day period.
Scaleable: This is one of my favorite features of this program. You can buy it once and use it over and over again as you scale up the weights and increase your gains.
Drawbacks and Cons of Athlean X Max Size
Developed for Muscle Gains: If muscle gains are what you are looking for, then this program is a good fit for you. But if you want a more balanced approach and a leaner physique you should consider AX-1.
Needs a Well Equipped Gym: This is not a workout you can do with just bands and a mat. If you want to use the Max Size workouts you’ll need a well equipped home gym or a membership at a commercial gym.
Athlean X Max Size Workouts
Max Size is built on German Volume training. What this means is that there is a lot of volume, very little rest, and a short time-frame to complete the workouts.
These workouts are INTENSE. You will NEED the two days of rest a week.
What Equipment You Need With Althean X Max Size
To do this program correctly you will need the following equipment:
- Barbell
- Pullup Bar
- Bench
- Dumbbells
- A Resistance Band
- Jumprope
Note: I have an in-depth post about how to set up the best Athlean X home gym with the right equipment here. This will give you the exact items you need and recommendations for each one.

The Bottom Line on Athlean X Max Size
This program is INTENSE. But if you want to make serious muscle gains it’s a good program to use. Based on German Volume Training Max Size gives you 5 days of scaleable, intense workouts every week for 12 weeks.
You do need a well-equipped gym to do this program and SHOULD start at lower levels and work your way up to avoid injury.
If you are looking to gain muscle fast and are willing to put the work in Max Size is a good choice.
