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.

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.

Very good program, though some of the he workouts are extremely long and I had to split them over more than one session. I like the mixture of hypertrophy work and low rep strength stuff very much. I added a bit more light shoulder and calf work, and did Arnold presses or light strict presses instead of the push-press, but basically stuck to it as planned.
