I paired this program with some of Bromley’s advice from YouTube, which was “if you want to get big, eat like it.” This program along with a diet of about 1.2 g of protein/lb of body weight did absolute wonders. Found myself not even needing to track a surplus due to the demand of the protein. Great cookie cutter plan!

It was grueling at first but the growth was incredible when you got past the first 4 weeks.

Bench 225 -> 260, Squat 275 -> 315, OHP 135 -> 165, Deadlift 315 -> 365. Overall I feel stronger and more equipped to handle fatigue in workouts. I was just beginning the intermediate lifting stage and this was challenging at first to get used to the volume. Would very much recommend to anyone looking to increase strength especially in their legs and posterior chain.

The absolutely HIGH volume of this program kicked my ass the first few weeks, but then I was pleasantly surprised to find out I could handle way more work after a couple weeks into the program while the weight still climbed up. Through just six weeks, this program has been the most challenging I’ve ever done. Nine sets in to the squat workout with more to go, I found myself questioning the life choices that got me there, but I’m so glad I pushed on because my squat is feeling better than ever and keeps pushing up. Gains thru 6 weeks: - 155 to 160 lbs body weight - confidently handing 20-30 more lbs across squat working sets from week 1 - squat strength has seemingly increased the most relative to other lifts, followed by bench then deadlift then overhead Advice: be in a calorie surplus on this program and be mindful of recovery

Okay so I’m at week 11, I don’t think many people make it this far and I can see why. The wheels are starting to fall off the cart a bit. This program is interesting and has some great takeaways, I’ve enjoyed it. But now things are just too high intensity on the same day and I am developing injuries. I think that Bromley hasn’t actually done this program himself past week 4 as an enhanced lifter is a bit of a warning to natural lifters. I can usually handle this volume spread over a week but not all on one day (15 sets squats on a single day for example). Going forward I will highly modify the remainder of the peak phase, a bit more push/pull style so hopefully my elbows won’t explode and my ass fall off.

I am a big fan of Bromley's programs. I have been wanting to try this program and after three weeks I am more than happy.
