WHAT IS THE JACKED & TAN 2.0 PROGRAM?
Jacked and Tan 2.0 (J&T 2.0) is an intermediate-level powerbuilding program that emphasizes hypertrophy and work capacity development over peak strength development. Don't worry, you'll get stronger too.
Made by coach Cody Lefever (GZCL), J&T 2.0 gained popularity as a fun lifting program that is a break from the usual monotonous powerlifting training. J&T 2.0 has many exercise variations, different progression schemes, and a lot of volume to help you become a more complete and competent lifter.
Read below for the full program guide on how to use J&T 2.0 app.

Hard to rate gains for sure because 5-6 weeks in I slipped over on ice and injured my meniscus and was unable to do any lower body training, but I did enjoy what I was doing and felt like and like I was progressing like I'd expect. I'd happily give it another go in off season after I've recovered though. For now though I need a program that gives more volume to upper body.

It is an excellent program to push you to your limits and help you smash plateaus. The only downside is to the program is the amount of time spent in the gym if you follow the recommended rest times. I found myself trying to listen to my body and starting the next set sooner than recommended. Also, towards the end of the workout session I would double up on some exercises like the rows with leg curls or leg extensions.

Good gains, you can drop some extra volume prior to final week if fatigue is high. Otherwise a very nice powerbuilding program. Bench frequency might be low for some people.

As the program suggests, it is a primarily volume/hypertrophy program building maximum work capacity. Strength gains are just an added bonus, but if you are expecting huge 1rm max improvement, better stick to a dedicated powerlifting program. Highlight of the program would be better than expected muscle size and development. Solid 4.5/5 rating with minor modifications depending on your own personal training style.

If you don’t mind working for at least 2 hours then this program can work very well. Be prepared for tons of volume.

I swapped out some accessories for options that were easier to perform at my gym. I also reduced the weight on certain secondary exercises. For example: there is a swap option for the perscribed deficit deadlift to an RDLs. Unfortunately the weight recommendations then scaled directly off my ACTUAL standard deadlift. So the program had me doing RDLs with 4+ plates for many sets at one point. So I reduced the weight and went more for ROM and a deep stretch. That being said, everything else has been on point.
