Bullmastiff is Alex Bromley's popular intermediate program from his book, BASE STRENGTH: Program Design Blueprint.
Bullmastiff uses all 4 big movements and follows them up with a developmental variation for the opposite movement and then general bodybuilding work. The program has a base phase (9 weeks) and peak phase (9 weeks) based on a 3-week wave progression.

Best program from 4 I tested on this app for powerlifting. Most strength gains so far. Simple and effective.

Running this program back a 2nd time. Forgot how humbling the volumising waves are but they are amazing for building a foundation leading up to a peak. Surpassed goals at the end of the last block, and already tracking well ahead for the end of the next. Love this program.

I’m gobsmacked by how good this program is. The volume is tough at first but you get used to it quickly. I’d recommend this only for people who have fast recovery and have the time for 60+ minute workouts. I’ll be running this for the foreseeable future to setup for meets.

Any program Bromley puts out gets serious results. Using this program to get back into power lifting 18 months after shoulder surgery.

Super effective, muscle and strength gains through the roof. Lots of volume, long workouts, not to the faint of heart. And ur gonna need to bulk on this program. Overall review 12/10.

With 2,5 years of overall training, and i have gone from 76 kg at 187cm tall to 112 kg in those few years. I have stayed at about the same simi lean state, but the overall gains where slowing. i feel that even after 5 weeks that i will be at a new peak that after all is done. i am counting on staying with the crusing gain for many more years. Thanks to that great mind of Alexander :)

I was a year and a few months back into lifting going all out every session before I eventually hit a wall and couldn’t progress by adding more weight. This program has shown me what it looks like to train using my brain haha. Thank you Alex B. And Boostcamp

OHP results were really solid. Mainly builds work capacity without running you into the ground.
