Perfect program for me as a complete beginner. I had an experienced friend show me the 4 main lifts, and then I built upon that. Currently in my 4th week but I plan on finishing the 12 weeks I'm seeing huge results and I love how easy it is to use. I added some biceps/triceps/calves/abs in a 4th day as they are really not that targeted in this program and I work out of town 3 days a week. Personally, it completes it for me.

Raises strength as expected. May need some tweaks here and there but overall pretty good.

Good programme, getting pretty good results, the increase in weights soon catches up so having to undertake plateau weeks to allow recovery, swapped out a few exercises such as cable crossovers instead of dumb bell press only coz of equipment available. Otherwise it’s keeping me returning to the gym over and over and consistently which I think is the most importantly aspect for any programme. Update: my rc giving me problems from previous injury, so had to take a 2wk break. Back on it again and making slow but steady gains.

Just finished week 12 and am happy with the progress. Strength gains as follows: Squats from 135x8 to 275x6 OHP from 75x10 to 125x5 Bench from 115x10 to 165x9 Deadlifts from 155x11 to 255x8. This includes 2 weeks where I could not workout due to traveling for work. Make sure you are ensuring your form is correct to avoid injury. Goals for end of the year is OHP 135x3, Bench 225x3, squats and deadlifts 315x3. I am over 40 the 1RM days are behind me so I am not going to count them until I can rep them. Good luck all.

Only changed accessories to be more fitted for my weak points. Strength gains have been good, have not made much difference in body composition or muscle growth however my diet has been for fueling my workouts.
