Plateaued on chest for the longest time but managed to put 10kg on my bench in 6 weeks running this program. The combination of exercise variety + volume helped to overcome some distinct sticking points without over-working any single part. At the end of the day it's pretty basic stuff but helps to follow something written down to keep yourself accountable. I added some additional lifts to round out muscle groups like back to some of the days but nothing too major.

This is a great program. I have come back to it many times, and it always works. The first time I did this program, it was after a one-year layoff; it took my bench from 425 lbs to 600 lbs in competition, benching in a band shirt.

Lots of good opportunities to get PR up. Modification needed for more targeted muscle groups

The principals of this program are great and definitely seeing some improvement. My critiques would be that its extremely unrealistic to triple your 1rm in just a 6 week program unless youre relatively new to training. Also the accessory work was great in theory but not enough volume for back shoulders and triceps. This is easily fixed by adding them in on day 3. I added 2 leg days in between but I initially used this program to keep progressing while experiencing a back injury. Also im confused is this a 6 week program or a 12 week program?!?

Solid program for getting your bench up. I had to switch to an upper body program due to a knee injury and this one has everything I need.

I took my bench from 85 till 100 kilos, I will probably do this again in the second half of the year for the gains. Definitely recommend!

Honestly it seems good I’m just not consistent enough for it to do much.
