The advantage of full body training is the ability to increase frequency beyond what most typical splits allow for. In order to reap the benefits of higher frequency, it’s important to make sure the volume and variety per muscle per session is sustainable, not only in terms of recovery session to session, but to make sure the lifts later in the session are still trained in a relatively fresh state.
The progression scheme is what you can typically expect from a program of mine: a dynamic double progression. Step 1 is to find your working weight for each lift. From here, when you hit or surpass the top end of the rep range, you’ll increase your weight the subsequent week. A 5% increase is a good rule of thumb, but smaller increments work as well.
Volume wise, you’ll have some freedom. Due to maximizing your frequency on this program, you don’t necessarily need higher volumes to grow. I would suggest starting at 2 sets across the board, and if you have 1-2 higher priority muscle groups, you can push those to 3 sets. From here, I’d only go to 3 sets if your progression is stalled for that muscle group.

I liked the different exercises I learned using this program, there was some fun and new ones like the JM press. But I don't think the low rep\set strategy works well, at least not for me. I didn't feel like I was getting gains until I started adding extra sets to every exercise. By the end of the program I felt a lot better about it, but only after having doubled the sets for each exercise. Even at max weight 2 or 3 sets just isn't working my muscles hard enough. Need to hit them with 4 or more. The nice thing about this one is if you don't want to be in the gym for over an hour these workouts can be knocked out pretty quick.

Goes to show you you don’t need anything fancy, back to the basics lower volume approach high intensity got me looking bigger even when my ego thinks it’s not enough

Male 52. 12 weeks completed. I really enjoyed running this program on the 3 day a week protocol. I made a few modifications based on equipment and preference, but good balance overall. I really enjoy Landon’s content and was excited to see this program here.

Great program. Good on amount of time. And allows for progression.

The videos all pop up a ton of ads. Also expects you to have a smith machine. I would swap them, but got too frustrated trying to figure out what they wanted me to do to find replacements.

A simple but effective program. The first lower volume program I've ran and I've really enjoyed it. I swapped a few things because of a lack of equipment (Pec deck and lat pull down mainly) but otherwise ran it mostly as prescribed. The 2 sets allows you to really push each set to the max and if I'm feeling up to it that particular day add a 3rd set. I've put on 5.5 lbs and I'm nearing the end of the 12 week program. Overall a great, simple program. I'll make some more modifications and run it a 2nd time.

Not much to say other than I enjoyed the program and for how little leg work there is here I saw a surprising amount of strength and muscle gain in that area.
