Got my goal of Benchpressing 40kg again! and for 3 reps! overall great program but the 10 reps for squats and deadlifts feels like cardio ngl

Loved this program. I did the 4 day version and consistently improved my strength PR's and have the most defined muscle I've ever had in my life. I did however start to get bored around week 10/11 but that was near the end and I could've done more T3 variations but I was crunched for time.

A simple program to follow with great results even with going only 3 days a week. After about a year of consistent gym going this felt like my first proper lifting program. The progress keeps me really motivated and I have noticed huge improvements in my strength. At the stage where I hit a new PR every session, I'm hooked.

Great program. Really good balance of strength and hypertrophy that works for me. Swapped the T2 exercises for variations just because I wanted more variety. Went with SSB Squat, Close Grip Bench, Romanian Deadlift and Incline Bench Press. Swapped T3 chest exercises for bicep curls as I had enough chest focus in my T1 and T2 and felt my arms were lacking. Other T3s are Upright Row, Bulgarian Split Squats and Hip Thrusts.

Really helped me kick start my weight loss. With this regimen and minor calorie restriction, I managed to lose 15 kilos in just over two months

Started this program after a long hiatus due to injury. I love the meat and potatoes approach with optional accessories. The progression is easy enough as well. If you're looking for a simple and effective program no matter your experience l, this is a great choice.
