This is identical to what I personally do. This is probaly way too much for a beginner or intermediate level lifter to do. I do not recommend this version of the program unless you're bulking and are already a very advanced trainee.
Bald Swordsman is a split on a 10-11 day asynchronous schedule. Trainees need at least a day of rest in between these sessions. Therefore, there is no need to strictly follow the 4 day a week schedule.

Changed neck work for more lightweight exercises targeting my weaknesses and changed weighted pulls for lat pulldowns. Other than that, followed the program as is. Crazy results, feels like noob gains all over again. Extremely hard, 5 years of experience and this thing pushes me to my absolute limit. Great muscle gains, but even better results in terms of work capacity.

Format que je connaissais déjà de thibeaudeau et de son fameux hatfield split. Programme conseillé par une connaissance. Fourmille d'idées intéressantes que ce soit les exercices accesoires en milieu de scéance pour faire une coupure ou la double progression issue de l'haltero. J'ai modifié quelque patterns ( moins de tirage verticaux et plus de tirages horizontaux dont par mal a la poulie ) mais c'est uniquement de la préférence personnelle morphologique ayant les bras longs.

43 year old, lifetime natural. This is a great program for those who want to force themselves into a progressive mindset. In my case, it helped me break a 2 year plateu. Before this I was doing Jeff Nippard’s Ultimate PPL with mediocre results. With Omni Man I made excellent strength gains, and good hypertrophy results. It develooed my biceps and shoulders like nothing else. However, I would not repeat this program again without making serious modifications. For the last month the workouts have become too long (2 hours each). It is very difficult to mantain a proper intensity and you risk being less eficient in the last half hours, which can lead to uneven development. So, either you change the program to be 5 times a week or you cut the sets by 60% of their original value, which forces you to really up the weight. In my gym, I already maxed out all the machines and dumbells, so it isnt a possibility. Therefore, I am doing up to 30-45 reps on some excercises. You are also limited on some of the big 3 if you dont have a spotter. Most of these problems can be solved with a good gym. Something to keep in mind. All in all, amazing problem. Paris, you are a great trainer. Much love from Buenos Aires!

Great program! I ran it from half way in -1000 calories for 6 weeks. That was rought, but my physique is now quite impressive! It definetly worked!! I lost 6-7kg + about 2kg water weight in that time period. (from 102-->93-94)

Great program for every other day. I use the rest days for cardio. Program has helped me lean out and feel good.

Nice and enjoyable split, I will continue untill the end of the year to see if the strength and the size gains will come as expected. For now, great program.

Nice switch up from previous split of upper/lower. Liked the aspect of full body but with a more emphasis on certain muscle group for that day. Already had a pretty good base of conditioning from marathon training and 2 a day weight training sessions for a while now. Decided to split my workouts into morning before work and after work. Great strength gains and muscle gains as well thanks to the extra recovery only working out every other day.

Outstanding programme for building a good base of muscle and work capacity, no muscle groups left out in the cold
