 Coming back from a car crash injury I lost all strength in my upper and lower body. I have done this program once already for 12 weeks and I’m on the second part of the 12 weeks. I’ve never felt stronger in my life. I’ve probably tripled my strength since I’ve started this program if you follow it and have a healthy diet, you will see the gains, I started at a 425 pounds. I can happily say I am 305 in nine months, 120 pounds down! If you’re barely starting, don’t be intimidated at the gym you’re going for yourself and not nobody else! Best of luck to anyone that does this program !

I did 10 weeks last year and started it again a few days ago with some swaps for target areas. Raised heel squats, pelican curls, etc but using this as a base helps with maintenance as well. I’ll review again in a few months

I like how it split the muscle groups up over the week. I didn't have to worry about separating any workouts, because they were already set up. I've also learned of some workouts that I had never seen before.

I’m only in week 4 and notice a lot of gains in size and strength. I’ve been out of practice for a while and this is the first program I’ve ever followed. I’ve been very happy so far.

Doesn’t have any rear delts, calves, or forearms programmed. You will need to add a few exercises per week. Regardless, this is a solid program for those looking to add some size.

This program is great for pushing myself harder, while adding just enough variety from week to week to keep my enthusiasm to complete each workout high. Its also given me some new lifts for certain muscle groups that I will be adding to any routine I start in the future. I like the split of each workout, as it allows me adequate rest time between muscle groups to recover.

My favorite program in terms of structure/planning. The 5.7.10 RPE system is the best for people struggling to get themselves to the gym

I liked it but it lacked consistency in a way that made since to me. I wish it had more back movements and shoulder mobility Accessories but that’s just me. I also wasn’t able to be as consistent with it so something like the bullmastiff was a much more fulfilling program to me. The end was really good when it picked up intensity since I was following the RPE pretty strictly and focused on the numbers too much like a powerlifting fan. If I was a newer lifer I would have benefited much more so take it with a grain of salt! Imma go back to the bullmastiff or try 70s power lifter plan now since Alex has some really comprehensive planning and execution.
