This program is great. As I am working out at Planet Fitness, I am forced to substitute a few exercises due to a lack of free weight bar bells. I also have problems with my Achilles tendons to lunges, which are very hard and dangerous for me. I was doing a standard split program I designed myself for 1 month. I changed over to Kong at week 5 of my new gym life. I am on week 2 day 3 and boy. I am already getting shredded. I am an endomorph and I was 350 lbs. I went into deep ketosis diet for 5 months and lost 50 lbs. I started this at an undefined muscular 300 with a little bit of visceral fat still left over. I can already see and feel muscles that I did not know I had. I can even flex my pecs. This program is hard. It takes no prisoners. And it WORKS. I follow a 40/30/30 macro and aim to get 500 calories over maintenance and take creatine daily. The gains are fantastic. 5 stars!!!!

I stopped training for a couple years and after coming back into it and eating properly I put on 21 lbs and it’s a very noticeable difference without enhancements outside of caffeine or energy drinks like c4 I have done this program twice and almost every week be able to beat my prs so just stay consistent with it and eat properly

Programs nice if you're a fan/okay with high volume, the pumps are insane, and while flat bench is personally missed (mainly for ego reasons :)) the chest days are great, and your squat will explode if you're seriously pushing yourself hard. Already recommended it to a buddy and would recommend it for others looking for a hypertrophy focused program while still building strength gains and with plenty of free weight excercises to horsecock around on.

Pretty decent. There’s a lot of shoulder intensive tricep movements so make sure to warm them up or you’ll end up like me with a messed up rotator cuff. But otherwise it’s really good.

The progression is steady and consistent. It like the mix. My deadlift has gone up significantly. I’m more stable during squats. Leg press is up to insane numbers for my size (5’ 6”, 150lbs). I highly recommend this program to anyone wanting to build a solid foundation.

Great program. Have been doing strength focused/heavy compound programs. Started this to switch it up for more size and definitely seeing growth.
