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.

No bullshit programming for the advanced lifter.

Great strength program. Easy to incorporate into a hybrid training program to maintain/increase strength. I used this program 4 days/week and, instead of the recommended hypertrophy work, spent the other days targeting my cardio with HIIT, runs, and cycling. Again, great program and I will probably come back to it for future training cycles.

results: squat 275x1 to 275x5 deadlift 315x1 to 365x1 bench from a very awful 185 bounce rep no lift with my butt 6 inches off the bench to a competition passing 185 single I ended up peaking 8 weeks into this program (around when all my maxes stated above were achieved) as i had a competition, and afterwards i was honestly just tired of bulking so i finished the program in a deficit. i went from 185 bodyweight at beginning of program to a peak of 195 at the time of my competition and then back down to 175 by the end. my competition was only bench and deadlift, so i didnt get a chance to test a heavy squat single until i was 175 lbs, and only got 295 for 1 (was really hoping for 315 but itll have to wait till im finished cutting) Overall very happy with my results, even tho im sure i couldve achieved much more if i continued to bulk through the last 4 weeks. Thank you Mark for structuring an awesome program and for making yourself available to answer any questions i had, easily one of the best resources ive found especially making yourself available for free. I know you read these, so seriously I can't thank you enough. Heres to more PRs for all of us 💪💪💪

Exchanged squats for front squats. Been trying to improve weight for that exercise. Deadlift increased a good amount. Not sure if that’s a result of the front squats or just the workload in general. Bench has regressed

Amazing program, this is the first time I've completed a long program, and I gotta say it got a little bit boring towards the end, with the same usual training style, but overall it was efficient and it gave me pretty good gains on strength. Even though I haven't attempted any PRs yet, I can say it definitely gave me a boost. Will surely get back to this soon. I had some trouble with deadlifts sometimes because of heavy weight and low energy though it only was 3-4 workouts overall that were trash.

A good power lifting base program that allows for the flexibility to add hypertrophy fill ins where needed.
