288 reviews for 70s Powerlifter
The 70s Powerlifter Program, by Alex Bromley, is designed with a heavy influence of the prototypical 70’s powerlifter here (hence the name). Many of the accounts of some of the monsters that populated meets at that time, such as Doug Young and Bill Kazmaier, cited high volume approaches with many compound variations and plenty of bodybuilding movements to top it off.

I'm on the 17th week. Taking couple of days for recovery and hit PR on every lift to finish off this program. I repeated the program from the 7th week after taking 2 months off with no training and proper diet. (I don't take any supplements.) So it's kinda late but I'm loving it. Hats off to Alex !! Great program. I might run it over again with new numbers. 👍✅

Great program. One of the best out there. Yes there is a lot of volume. I see a lot of reviews from people in their 3rd week saying it’s rough. Listen, stick it out. Start conservatively and get into the groove. The first few weeks of any new program / movement pattern is going to be hard. After a few weeks you start recovering better. Give your body and brain a chance to adjust and see how you go. Don’t push too hard at first, make it achievable. Build up as you go. Have fun. Be consistent. That’s where to results are. Cheers 🤙

If you put your full 1 rep max in this program, it gets brutal. Definitely work, though.

Week 3 was rough, and the squat session had my quads cramping up. I increased my food intake, which helped. I am really enjoying blasting the movement patterns, and am feeling stronger and more secure in my lifts already. It really feels like my base is being reinforced.

I love how the program has you train movements that help you in the specific lift. The first 3 weeks were very hard to complete, lots of volume. I feel stronger since I’m doing so much of the same movement.
