Solid program all around. Room to wiggle for specific adjustments but a great base for strength and aesthetic improvement.

I did this program while doing periodic 36 hr 0 calorie fasts. They helped me stay on track with the diet. During my feeding time periods I would eat a surplus of 300 calories a day. The only mods I really made were adding some pull ups on days I didn’t have access to equipment. The progression kept me from accumulating too much fatigue. Loved this program. I do recommend adding in some of the west side methodologies for cranky elbows, I.e. 100 reps banded tri push downs.

Best program I tried so far. Deadlift went down, squat went up 10lbs and bench stayed the same. Objectively thats atrocious but the wave progression model is good and I saw change within the first 6 weeks. After that everything stalled or went down.

Solid program for an advanced lifter who wants something simple and effective.

This program is extremely difficult but I have had great success with it. I started the program with my 1 rm about 80% of my true 1 rm. About halfway through the program I increased my 1 rm to what I thought it really was and that’s when I started to see major progress. This was a great plateau breaker. I do add a deload week before starting my last 3 week cycle because I started to feel some strain in my left hamstring. I ate in a surplus and was religious about protein and sleep. So many people have commented on seeing my size increase. I am going to cut once I’m done with the program to lean back out and see how much lean mass I truly gained. I gained about 20 lbs total mass, but I’m starting to look a little too chunky. I guess I don’t care too much because almost every week I’m setting new pr’s. Highly recommend this workout if you have the bandwidth to handle it.

This program pushed me to pursue variations and blind spots that I had not addressed, and allowed me to engage with weights at levels I had been plateuing with for 2 years now. My initial thoughts were that this was too challenging, however as I put my faith in the programming my body adapted and I was surprised at the comfort of my back and core with weights that normally left me unstable and unable to grind sufficiently. All around, this program prepared me from angles I have never been prepared in and revolutionized my approach to training.

Just finished week 8 and feeling super confident, my lifts have all been improving and only made slight adjustments to program.

easy to follow

Volume way too high, hard to recover before training the same muscle group again without still feeling high levels of muscle soreness.
