So much volume it’s kind of ridiculous. I think it can work if you have a lot of spare time but trying to work this into a busy life isn’t the most practical and you will have to cut workouts short. The amrap calculation stuff is cool though and makes progressive overload simple.

Great program when you are in the zone and in a good season. Smashing goals is fun. But be kind when you’re in a rough patch and need to make adjustments. Your body will thank you. This program is GREAT for the big-4. When you’re feeling strong, using the AMRAP sets to follow a kind of linear progression and make quick gains is solid. I alternated the accessories rather than repeating them for each upper and lower day. (Both for boredom and for effectiveness). Example: squat day switched leg curl for stiff leg deadlift; deadlift day kept it as leg curl. OHP day switched the bicep curl to hammer, and the rear delt raise to lateral raise etc etc. Added some calf raises. On rough weeks or after illness I pull back on the volume (ie, 3 sets of each instead of 5). Take care of yourself and make it sustainable.

The big plus for this program are the waves and progression over weeks. It is logical, progressive and productive with the AMRAP sets. However, in terms of programming, there is a lower body bias in terms of secondary movements as prescribed by the app. I didn’t mind that since I can always use more lower body. This is a solid program where I’ve seen new PRs and some muscle that comes along with it. I’m 59 so adding muscle after 10 years lifiting religiously is hard, but I did put some on my legs.

Second time running this program, over 40kg increase across main 3 compounds 60kg including overhead for the first run. Slight modifications such as adding mid delts calves and back extensions go a long way with this program

Really nice. Very hard. I took 2hrs per exercise, 1:30 on upper body days. Never seen so many leg gains. Even my mom could not believe it. Maybe my back/ lats in general where falling a bit behind. Also my tricep strength sky rocketed. By the end I was able to get 12 reps full stack on the triceo push downs. I’ll give it a 8.5/10

I added lunges and split squats on lower days, respectively. And single arm row variations on upper days. It should also be noted I ate like shit (not enough) didn’t sleep enough, drank pretty regularly and still saw gains. S +22 lbs B +11 lbs D +40 lbs OHP +11 lbs

Bench up a good bit and legs are better, helping with my bad knees.

I think this program is great for someone who’s in the being stages of intermediate. Definitely felt like I loss strength but I kept size on. I generally do not run hypertrophy blocks this long so that is likely why I lost strength. Overall good program just not ideal for powerlifting.
