Bromley is the man. After years of running lower volume strength programs (5/3/1), etc., I decided to run this program. I would recommend anyone who runs it should read Base Strength. It gives you insight into the inner workings of the program. It also works just fine as a plug and play template but understanding the principles helps to expand it beyond just the 18 weeks. I am running it as is aside from some minor exercise substitutions (switched out front squats for belt squats and tempo overheard press for strict viking press).

Just finished base phase. I love amraps at the end, they keep me accountable and pushing the intensity appropriately. I have a habit of sandbagging.

I got sick the last week of the program and didnt deload as i should, but i think i made good progress. I think i lost a little bit of muscle volume on the last few weeks because i dropped all acessory work. Overall great program. Squat 185kg>200kg Bench 130kg>140kg Deadlift 200kg>220kg

65kg woman Squat: 130 - 137.5kg Bench: 62.5 - 62.5kg Deadlift: conventional 120 - 140kg (note - I typically lift sumo but switched it up for the program. My sumo PR is 145kg). Pretty happy that my conventional and sumo PRs are now very close. Prior to this program I had not lifted conventional for many years. Solid program. I liked the auto regulation and the different phases. The program is a nice balance between volume and fatigue management. The last part of each wave of the hypertrophy phase was a killer during the workout, but not too bad to recover from after surprisingly, and I did find the improvement in endurance helpful. I was disappointed with the lack of progression on bench. I think the volume on bench is way too low for me. There is a lot of overhead pressing in the program, which my shoulders could not handle. I ended up with pain in my right shoulder. However, the volume for squats and deadlifts were perfect. I would definitely run the program again with some modifications. Mainly reducing some of the sets within the final waves of the hypertrophy phase (the amount of sets make the workouts soo long took me 2hrs on leg days), doing more bench/bench assessory work, and reducing the amount of overhead press work.

Highly recommended for beginners, amateurs, or professionals. It scales to your physical capabilities and I am going to keep going to see how this works out.
