Candito 6 Week Strength Program
Amazing program really helped my squat and deadlift and added 20 pounds to my working set for squat in 2 weeks. I would recommend to anyone
The candito program helped me a lot, and the app features are really great
Good program for squats and deadlifts. Not so great for bench but with some modifications it could work. Great program overall. I swapped most of the accessory lifts that were suggested but the actual sbd work is good in my opinion. I definitely added rest days when needed as I also work a manual labor job.
First two weeks are brutal volume. Which is great if you can keep up. Overall, program doesn't push the deadlift much. But to be fair, it's difficult to make huge gains across all three lifts all at once for an advanced lifter. My squat improves, bench slight improvement, deadlift... meh. Not much changed
Measures perfectly what you can achieve each session without gassing you out. Also has a great structure with progressive overload, just keep an eye on the extra exercises and adjust them to match the main lifts.
I liked how simple it was but at the same time intense.
Solid, no notes
As much as the volume in weeks 1&2 were a lot, I still managed to do them according to program. But week 3 was brutal when it came to bench. I managed to hit the bare minimum for the first upper day, and for the second. I could only do 3 reps (instead of the 4-6) for one set, the other two sets I only managed 2 reps. So yeah, I’ll be auto regulating. But given I felt like my 1RPM was adequate, stalling in week 3 was not expected at all. I’ve dropped my RPM by 10lbs and will see for weeks 4/5 but I’m not expecting much on my bench. My squat has been okay though. I’ve felt like I’ve had more in the tank across all three weeks so far, so we’ll see if that’s the one area I’ll come out ahead on. Not sure I’ll run this one again.
Skipped week 3 Deadlift 415lbs-> 418 for a double Squat has never felt so good Bench is okay
Pretty good program. Not too strenuous and enough days in between for recovery. I like the choice for different deadlift variations and the option to add in isolation exercises for hypertrophy if desired. Will run this program again.
