Rip And Tear is a 12 week program focused around high frequency, high weight, low rep Squat, Bench and Deadlift. It aims to put a fine edge on your technique in these movements at low rep ranges. It is a good choice for a lifter who has spent time focusing on other areas who wants to take their strength and size gains and turn them into personal records in Squat, Bench and Deadlift.

Decent program for advanced lifters. You are able to train the big 3 with heavy enough weight to gain strength without so much volume that you end up blowing up your CNS.

Some sets felt too easy, so had to up the weight

Great program, I left the fourth day out most of the time since my legs could not recover enough.

3xweek squat in the past has always been too much in the past, but this program manages the volume really well. I'll very likely hit a squat PR. I had to significantly reduce my deadlift TM because I pulled my back early on (not the program's fault). So hard to judge progress there. Bench gains have simply maintained on this program. 3xweek works well for me, but I think I need more volume at slightly lower intensities. Edit after completing the program. I went from a grindy 390lbs squat to 405 for a double with at least one in the tank on the final test week. This is a great result considering it was done without any sort of taper time. My bench took a slight step back, but again, this is more due to an overuse injury that I couldn't escape mid program. My deadlift despite lowering the TM early on from injury was brought completely back to my normal range when I tested 455lbsx7. Not a PR, but back to healthy and feeling strong.

I like it but I'm hoping on this after a long break due to army training so I'm only back to where I was but it feels good

Came off of the boring but big program where I hit a dl pr of 320. This program I've decreased in strength and the weight recommended is usually lower than I can lift and it's based on my 1 rep max. The max bench programed for me here has been 115 for 3 reps which is nearly 20 lbs lighter than what I was lifting in the previous program. Highly disappointed after 6 weeks, so this will be my last week

Made some modifications to accommodate myself as well as my meet prep beyond week 8, but very enjoyable and overall solid 👍

Love the high frequency SBD, although i overshoot constantly, i’ve still seen significant strength gains. Overall feeling amazing.
