Very good program. Loved the program because of its simplicity. Only needing 2 accessories per session is great for me because the workout don’t take a long time.

This program is legit. Didn’t do it fully (missed couple days) but made some major strength gains. Break Hard Plateaus. Recommend this to Any One Height: 5’5 Weight: 160 Bench Press: 225 -> 245 Squat: 200 -> 225 Deadlift: 275 -> 335

Repeatedly squatting and deadlifting on the same day seemed like a terrible idea at first however the volume is careful managed and I saw the best strength gains in both lifts that I've had in probably 12 years. So far the bench press gains have been less impressive but still steady. I modified nothing and followed this program to the letter including the supplemental work. I did have some brief periods of less consistency throughout the program where I may have had 2 rest days in a row where there should have only been 1. I do believe this may have helped with the squat and deadlift recovery however it may have hurt my bench gains. Bench has always been my strongest lift so I plan to do the program again and follow it to the letter and see if those gains improve. If the bench gains can match the lower gains I would consider this the best power lifting program I've ever used.

1st program I ran when I started 5 years ago . I’m recovering from a shoulder tear and knee pain . Program has my confidence up . Perfect amount of reps to avoid fatigue while increasing the gains .
