I really enjoyed this programme!! Not too fatiguing, I loved squatting 3x per week, worked well for me. Went from 115kg squat and 140kg deadlift (at 53kg bw) to 120kg squat and 150kg deadlift (at 50.9kg bw)!!! So pleased

I ran 3 cycles of the lower-volume conventional deadlifter version of the program, and I can absolutely recommend it. Before this I had only done 5/3/1 and my lifts had stalled, so I used this to continue to progress my total. Each run through I was bigger and stronger, and now I am 10 pounds heavier, leaner, and my total has gone up by over 160 pounds. As others have said, if you commit to this program, dial in your sleep and nutrition and add at least 60 minutes of low-impact, low-intensity cardio per week. As long as you aren’t already a national level lifter, I would bet on you making progress.

I ended up with irritation to my left meniscus on week 7 that stopped me from completing the full program. 5 leg days a week proved too much for my connective tissues. That being said, I don’t want to discourage anyone from trying the program. My bench went from 250 to 300, squat went from 315 to 365 for reps before the knee issue and deadlift went from 455 to 500.

Adjusting to the volume was rough but after week 3, things got better. Great gains in Squat and Dead. Bench is moving a lot better now but the program has you Pause Bench every bench workout. Next time I run the program I will change one pause bench workout to a different bench variation.

Not tested yet but so far my squat and bench are moving great. Struggle with fatigue for 2nd deadlift session of week, next time round I will reduce comp deadlift frequency to once per week in the final few weeks before testing.
