I started this program at 32 years old. I went from a max benchpress of 205lbs to 320lbs, 315lb deadlift to 600lbs, 250lb squat to 520lbs, And 150lbs OHP to 240lbs in about 3 years. I like working with percentages personally, they keep me honest and make me push harder. Modifications I made to improve my recovery ability. On squat day I do RDLs 4x10 for accessory. On Deadlift day I do Goodmornings 4x10. If I hit 15+ reps on last accessory set increase weight by 5lbs next workout. This program gets tough the further you advance. What I found worked well for me was deloading lifts by 15% if I failed to hit all sets for 2-3 workouts in a row. Deloading by 15% and slowly building back up usually lead to new PRs each run. Eventually you hit a point where you're scraping to add a pound to your lifts while risking injury. That's the name of the game. Enjoy the process and know when it's time to switch your goals to something new. Push yourself to see what you're capable of, there is something beautiful in that process. Cheers.

This program was amazing. Havent trained for 6-7 months seriously. When i broke up with my Ex, and joined the program in hopes of just kickstarting my CNS, this blew my mind. My Squat and Deadlift are almost fully reset to my prior PRs. But my bench surprised me much more. (Note, I pretty much did the program back to back working out 6-7 days a week, with only a little rest day sometimes.) anyway, my bench went from a rusty hard 80kg being difficult. To, repping 100kg with much more ease than ever. Prior to the program, and relationship. So a year ago. My bench pr was 105. These 8 weeks made it jump to 115 fast rep, on the edge to 120kg Bench. I loved this program and I will definitely do it again. It made me enjoy working out again like never before

If you are trying to actually get up your compound lifts, this is exactly the workout you should do. 10/10 strength gains.
