6 weeks in - Great program with smart progression. Running this program between powerlifting blocks. The volume is quite high compared to what I am accustomed to, but the progression is great and has allowed me to increase work capacity without feeling beat up. Training in a home gym, so I had to swap out a few exercises. Excited to get into the pyramid sets and push heavier weights. Workouts take just over an hour on upper days and closer to 1.5 hours on lower days, very reasonable especially as work capacity increases and allows for shorter rest periods.

Worked better than expected. Coming from a SSLP and 5/3/1 background I was used to big barbell compound lifts and sets of 5. This was a different style of training than what I was used to. Still somewhat based on the big four but with far more variation and isolation work. Different set and rep schemes. Perhaps because it was so different my body adapted well to the training and I have noticed size gains in my legs and shoulder girdle. However when I began this program I didn’t have a great grasp on RPE and because of that I feel I left some gains on the table. Not really the programming’s fault. Just some advice for anyone about to attempt this make sure you have solid understanding of RPE.

It is a good program to enhance strength and power lifting but the problem is that it doesn’t have claves or core training so you have to add them by yourself.

Not as much focus on direct ab work but can easily throw in some at the end. Good program

The volume is great. Also the exercises are key due to the flexibility of using alternative methods.

Good program especially for people that typically just grind it out until they break. The first month was not something I was used to and helped bring up weakness and let my cns recover.
