My bench pr at 100kgs was plateaued since 8 months , this program helped me break my pr and helped me bench 110 kgs for ATPR , and currently I am doing 2nd cycle of this program and I am happy that I was able to do 100 kgs *2 reps 3 sets .

I didn't expect to increase my bench pr as much as I did. The super low volume with heavy weight is lowk scary sometimes, but it should be. Overall it's a good program to increase your bench pr.

Honestly, feel like the program could’ve been a lot more aggressive. I felt a lot left in the tank some days so I just did extra sets, reps or weight.

The volume distribution is good and getting me used to heavier weight, but the accessories seem overly complicated in an attempt to make someone buy premium to swap them or something. a lot of the accessories aren’t feasible in a commercial gym

Slow negatives and pause reps are real deal. I have never trained that style previously. Incredible mind muscle connection when you do them. On final week so i can’t fully comment on if plan was successful on increasing my one rep max but definitely feel more confident on my bench press due to this training plan.

Programming is listed as “home gym” but uses machines in almost every days workout. Most can be subbed out for free weights but not all. Does not include conditioning workouts, so if that’s a part of your regular routine you’ll have to make time for it separately

Great for some new accessories that hit spots I had been missing, leading to more strength overall.

175->185 bench (long standing plateau) in 5 weeks (skipped first intro week). Great intro to tempo and de loading concept, but requires optimal caloric intake

Started the program with a conservative 1RM of 285 on flat / finished the program with my first time hitting 315. Made a few modifications based on equipment/personal needs etc. Was able to dial in nutrition to support bench progress. Will try again in future.
