This is honestly the best program I tried so far. I used to train powerlifting style until I injured my lower back, so I had to start from zero and I was looking for a change too, so I decided to start this program and give bodybuilding a go. I run this program while focusing on doing body recomposition, I couldn't be happier, I got some of my strength back, I lost 3kg (mostly body fat) and manage to keep and even put on some muscle. I love the exercise in this program, mostly compound, made me sweat like a pig every workout. I definitely recommend this program!

Great program, only thing I changed was adding front squats and hack squats. Some days are a large volume but definitely worth it.

Very great program overall! The volume can be too much for a natural at first but around 2nd week you get used to it. The best thing about the program for me is that it doesnt require too much equipment because its mostly compound exercises. Good for building technique and progressing overload. You can always make slight adjustments such as adding a set, changing grips/bars, adding or changing an exercise. Just make sure you're doing everything with the correct form and strength/gains will follow. Especially for the deadlifts, squats, bent over rows etc. If you are a more of a begginer lifter and you arent sure if your form is correct, use a belt, your lower back will thank you later.

Didn’t think I was going to love this as much as I did. PR records threw the roof and noticed a considerable increase in size.

Training needed to be altered for maximum results. But over all a good training program for beginners looking to increase strength gainz, look
