The term “functional fitness” seems redundant because every single fitness approach is functional in some scenario or another. But what if you wanted to fit in all scenarios?
Apparently, Mike Rashid has a way for you to do this – and only in four weeks? Seems way too good to be true… Here’s a look at his Kingmaker Program.
Before We Get Started, Let Me Say This…
Hey, it’s Kyle. I’m the founder of Noob Gains.
Thanks so much for stopping by! 🙂
I just wanted to jump in here to let you know that the program you’re about to learn about might be a total banger… or a complete flop.
(I’m not going to spoil it just yet.)
And while it might do a decent job of getting you the fitness results you want…
There’s one program that I continue to recommend to intermediates (and noobs) over and over again because of how effective it is at helping people build muscle and lose body fat with minimal effort.
Listen, if you want to build a lean and muscular physique that draws attention…
Without working out more than 4 days per week…
Without forcing down 5-6 bland, bodybuilder-style meals per day…
And without gouging your wallet…
You should consider Superhero X12 by Fit Mole.
Build a Superhero Body Without Training Like One
Getting in shape isn't easy. But this program gives you a real-life approach to building a leaner, more muscular body without obsessing over fitness 24/7.
“Kyle, I’ve never heard of whatever Superhero X12 is. Why should I trust you?”
First of all, you shouldn’t trust me. You shouldn’t trust anyone.
We’re all just strangers on the internet.
That being said, I’m going to do my best to show you why SX12 is a pretty good program for beginners that want to look muscular.
First of all, most workout programs are designed to leech your money and only help you accomplish one very specific goal.
“You want to lose body fat? Sounds good… here’s the program.”
“Oh, you want to build muscle too? Well, you need to buy another program.”
“Wait, you’re not a beginner anymore? OK, you’re gonna need to buy the intermediate program now.”
And on and on and on…
Wouldn’t you rather have everything you need to tackle multiple fitness goals in one place?
Superhero X12 is different because it covers ALL fitness goals.
It’s not just for losing body fat or building muscle. This program teaches you everything you need to…
- Gain muscle
- Build strength
- Improve muscle density
- Build definition
- Get completely shredded
- Take a more AGGRESSIVE shredding approach
- Or maintain the abs you already have
And it has workouts for both beginners and intermediates so you won’t outgrow the program!
| Feature | Superhero X12 | Other Programs |
| Fitness Levels | Multiple | 1 per program |
| Fitness Goals | Multiple | 1 per program |
| Workouts | 3-4x /week | 5x or more /week |
| Flexible Dieting |  | |
| Calorie Calculator |  | |
| Mindset Guide |  | |
| 2-Day Workout Option |  | |
You don’t have to waste money buying multiple programs because SX12 has specific workouts, diets, and strategies to help you do it all.
Second, a lot of programs completely kill your free time and force you to workout 5-7 days per week.
Often, brands use this as a big “selling point” for their program.
“Are you EXTREME enough to train EVERY SINGLE DAY?!”
Uh, maybe. But a better question is “why do this?”
Nowadays, we’re all busy as hell and we try our best to not let the few precious minutes of free time that we have slip through our fingers like grains of sand.
Personally, I’d rather train fewer days per week, and get back to watching Netflix.
On the other, Superhero X12 shows you how to transform your body in as few as 3-4 efficient workouts per week.
There are no unnecessary exercises and no time wasted.
If you can commit to 3 hours of training each week, you can create a great-looking physique…
And maintain it year round!
Finally, the diet portions of many programs are restrictive (and make you hate your life).
Bodybuilders have said for decades that you need to “eat multiple small meals throughout the day to build muscle”.
But guess what? Science doesn’t back this up.
For instance, evidence suggests it doesn’t really matter if you have protein coming in every 2-3 hours, and muscle maintenance is also unaffected by meal frequency.
Do you want to spend your free time portioning brown rice and packing tupperware containers? I didn’t think so!
Superhero X12 let’s you eat your favorite foods every day, have as many meals as you want, and still build muscle.
Do you know why young guys just like you are getting noticeable results on SX12?
It’s because the nutrition plan is easy to follow over the long term and doesn’t turn your meals into a chore.
You don’t have to force down bland, tasteless meals 6 times a day.
You can eat your favorite foods when YOU want to eat them.
But these are the reasons I keep recommending Superhero X12 to everyone:
- You can save money with a program that’s designed for multiple goals and experience levels
- You can spend less time in the gym by working out only 3-4 times per week
- And you can enjoy the process by eating foods you love at your own pace
But like I said, you shouldn’t take my word for it.
I’m just a random internet person.
Check out Superhero X12 for yourself and see what’s up.
Build a Superhero Body Without Training Like One
Getting in shape isn't easy. But this program gives you a real-life approach to building a leaner, more muscular body without obsessing over fitness 24/7.
About the Creator – Mike Rashid
Mike is a prolific fitness entrepreneur but started his fitness career when he became an amateur boxer at age 12. He also competed in bodybuilding and even powerlifting.

Kingmaker Program Overview
The Kingmaker Program is designed to incorporate all types of fitness into one to create the ultimate training program. This means cardio, lifting, conditioning, and so much more.
- Fitness level: Advanced
- Duration: 4 weeks
- Workouts per week: 5 workouts per week
- Average workout duration: 45 – 60 minutes per week
- Equipment needed: Full gym
- Goal: Get fit
Effectively, the plan is designed for more advanced lifters to get into shape/get fit really quickly. The workouts are short and intense, so you better be ready to pour your blood and guts into ’em.
Kingmaker Workout Program Details
Your weekly program will be split between upper, lower, and active recovery days. You’ll also have conditioning days to help you lose a few extra pounds.
Training Like a Fighter
With a program that’s only 4 weeks long, you can expect the workouts to be brutal – especially if your goal is to lose fat. You’ll be doing high-volume and high-intensity training, meaning you’ll have to be experienced when undertaking this plan.
Upper days will, logically, be focused on the back, chest, and shoulders. The lower days will be focused on the legs. The conditioning days will be brutal with a very CrossFit-like training style, like the hybrid training style of RSP Triple Threat:
- Cardio warmup
- Full body bodyweight movement
- Barbell complex movement
- Barbell complex movement
- Cardio cooldown
The workouts will be focused on cardiovascular fitness for the most part. By this point, it becomes apparent that the overarching goal of this plan isn’t to grow more muscle or to burn a few pounds but rather to break the monotony of regular workouts and get fit at the same time.
Eating Like a Fighter
As you might expect, you’ll have to have the perfect diet to make this total-body plan work. As a result, Mike is pretty adamant about you following some rules:
- Hit the daily macros that Mike lays out for you
- Make protein the center of every meal
- Have most of your carbs before and after your workout
He also advocates a healthy diet rich in veggies, fruits, protein, and – of course – a lot of water.
Confusingly, he says you should eat to gain weight, which I don’t really understand. The goal of getting fitter means losing adipose tissue since it’s inactive and won’t contribute to cardio fitness.
Eating to gain makes Kingmaker really confusing, but I guess you could argue you need the energy for the workouts?… I don’t really understand, but, hey, to each their own.
The Biggest Pro of Mike Rashid’s Kingmaker Program
It’s quite simple.
The workouts are fun and engaging and can be different for someone who’s used to more bodybuilding-type training. Thus, there is some enjoyment in simplicity.
The Biggest Con of the Kingmaker
I doubt this works.
Four weeks is simply not enough time for anyone to see a massive difference unless they’re genetically elite. Truth is, most of us are not genetically elite and won’t benefit from this plan as much.
The Kingmaker Program – Final Thoughts
In all honesty, the Kingmaker Program is just fine. There’s nothing horrifically wrong with this plan, but there’s also nothing amazing about it either. It’s a good plan for those looking to try something new or simply want a change from the typical 4 x 12.
It certainly isn’t long enough for you to see real gains from it. Yet, it can help you get a lot fitter. That’s probably the only reason I would follow this plan. It can help me get fit, and that’s about it.
That said, I think that if your goal is muscle gain or fat loss, there are better plans out there.
