This program is a great alternative to a Full Body work out. It is versatile and easy to make exercise substitutions but still keep on track with the programing schematics. I really like this program and intend to stick with it long-term.

PHUL was recommended by a friend who’s a lifting fanatic, as I was a beginner with generally good form. I worked with a gym trainer for almost a year before this, and NEVER saw the kind of results I saw with only 8 weeks of this- strength and toning! Will definitely do this again in future.

I would alternate deadlift and squat for first exercise on day 2. I would prioritise OHP on day 4, instead of putting it after chest and shoulder work.

There’s some movements I decided to swap for a cable or machine variation. Ultimately I really enjoy the structure of the plan. Simple to follow. Plenty of rest. I actually started squatting again because of it and have noticed significant quad development. I love the added rest days as it’s something I’ve always struggled with. It’s hard to take time off but it’s especially beneficial for growth as I’m bulking.
