Great basic program to hit all major muscle groups without overthinking it. Just what I was looking for. I switched all of the dumbbell movements to barbell to make it easier and more stable. For anyone starting out, or coming back from a break/injury it’s a perfect let’s get my body generally strong before focusing on accessory movements. That said, I added exercises on some days because it wasn’t enough volume. Some supersets wouldn’t hurt.

Periodization program focused on strength for squat, deadlift, bench press. 2 week hypertrophy followed by 3 weeks strength. Fun program with engaging variety of weights and reps. Flexibility offered through your choice of accessory exercises. Best for intermediate lifters

Simple guideline to follow, put 50lbs on my squat years ago and is still a great program to come back to. Candito knows what the hell he’s talking about when it comes to strength training

This is my first program since my first PL meet. Here’s my meet numbers before: S - 375 (actual training max is 425 though) B - 259 D - 452 The volume in week 1 and 2 KILLED ME. Not used to that. It got much more manageable. At the end, I hit some solid numbers that I struggled w for reps. I did put on some weight since last meet. Didn’t test singles, but I’d guess I have at least 75lbs added to my total. Highly recommend if you can handle the volume. S - 425x3 B - 275x2 D - 450x3 Would run again in the future.

Great for those who need a program to let the aches heal while still putting on strength. Ran this after breaking myself on Westside. Easy to follow and very effective. Muscle gains where marginal, but my main lifts shot up without the onset of joint and tendon pain. I low balled my maxes before starting the program due to injuries. A lot of my improvements came from the alleviation of pain as well as specificity. Bench 375-410 DL 515-570 Squat 365-400 (Hip injury on squat from youth)
