5 reviews for SBD101 - Powerbuilding for Students
We get it. College could be one hell of an experience that happens once in a lifetime and constantly saying "no" to your friends when they invite you out because you have to go to the gym could be detrimental to your college experience. This is why we designed a college powerbuilding program with 2 variations to help meet your training goals without sacrificing your college life: the 5 day and the 3 day. Both versions are built surrounding a full 16-week long college semester (bang for your buck).

Writing a proper review in the 3rd week is kind of counterproductive yes, but I feel like a few things should be said: I run the 5-day variant of the program as an intermediate and it is suitable for this level, though I'd recommend swapping some isolation/accessory exercises from time to time. The sessions aren't too long but nonetheless intense, and you get a good pump. The back and legs are targetted very well here, I'd add an additional triceps exercise though. My main critique so far, and the main reason why I write this comment: while RPE generally is good to gauge the load for an exercise, it only really works if you're already somewhat close to failure: anything below RPE6 doesn't really make a lot of sense, so RPE3 is pretty ridiculous if you ask me, especially for a set where you already do 6 reps. Leave RPEs for HEAVY sets, percentages are much better for high volume work. That aside, it's a cool program, and I expect to make some notable gains running it.

I liked the fact that the workouts were quick and straightforward. I wish there was more variety in exercises week to week. The changes I made were mainly machines that my gym dosent have or if the machine was being used and I needed to move on I would rearrange a certain lift with another.

I’ve been working out for about 6 months and this program is really great for beginners. The first half is mostly bodybuilding. My muscle definition is better than it was before. My strength hasn’t really increased the way I’ve wanted(also due to my dieting). I’ve only done the first 6 weeks. After the 8th week it’s mostly strength based. Overall great! Can’t wait for the strength part!
