Volume is significant and my personal recovery was poor so overall intensity diminished as I progressed through the programming.

The only negative thing to say about this program is as a new lifter or coming back from a large lay off the quick adaptation makes it so you're doing sets of 20+ for a lot of it which I hated, but pushing through and each time I repeat the program the 1rm calculations get more dialed in as the adaptation rate slows down

Great program to develop strength and learn how to run a wave double progression. Can add exercises where you want to keep your accessory lifts fun and dynamic.

So much volume it’s kind of ridiculous. I think it can work if you have a lot of spare time but trying to work this into a busy life isn’t the most practical and you will have to cut workouts short. The amrap calculation stuff is cool though and makes progressive overload simple.

Great program when you are in the zone and in a good season. Smashing goals is fun. But be kind when you’re in a rough patch and need to make adjustments. Your body will thank you. This program is GREAT for the big-4. When you’re feeling strong, using the AMRAP sets to follow a kind of linear progression and make quick gains is solid. I alternated the accessories rather than repeating them for each upper and lower day. (Both for boredom and for effectiveness). Example: squat day switched leg curl for stiff leg deadlift; deadlift day kept it as leg curl. OHP day switched the bicep curl to hammer, and the rear delt raise to lateral raise etc etc. Added some calf raises. On rough weeks or after illness I pull back on the volume (ie, 3 sets of each instead of 5). Take care of yourself and make it sustainable.

The big plus for this program are the waves and progression over weeks. It is logical, progressive and productive with the AMRAP sets. However, in terms of programming, there is a lower body bias in terms of secondary movements as prescribed by the app. I didn’t mind that since I can always use more lower body. This is a solid program where I’ve seen new PRs and some muscle that comes along with it. I’m 59 so adding muscle after 10 years lifiting religiously is hard, but I did put some on my legs.

Second time running this program, over 40kg increase across main 3 compounds 60kg including overhead for the first run. Slight modifications such as adding mid delts calves and back extensions go a long way with this program
