70s Powerlifter
Alexander Bromley is the GOAT for his program, and suggesting Boostcamp on YouTube. I upped the volume on accessories and added more emphasis on mid/rear delts, flies, and traps.
The program is fantastic, the question is, for WHO? The program requires you to be in a hyper trophy phase for the first 9 weeks, during that phase you would be hammering yourself with reps, the most important thing to remember during that phase is to RECOVER. In the next 9 weeks the program requires you to peak, that again, will require you to RECOVER because dead lifts will take their heavy toll. I personally could not do a single peaking session for dead lifts because all the lifts demanded the same neural drive in the same week. The program is top notch, my bench went from 135kg to 150kg, squat from 175 kg to 200 kg and strict press from 85 kg to 95 kg. But sadly the deadlift did not move up because of MY poor recovery. Use this program and get bigger lads. Thanks Alex Bromley do such a program.
Loved this program. It was an absolute blast to run it. A lot of really difficult sessions but it absolutely paid off in the end, and ill be running it again. Made a few changes to movements but other than that, i loved every part of it. Big increases on bench, squat, OHP, and work capacity
Excellent program to build strength and volume capacity. Mike W.
Too soon to tell but I’m digging the volume so far.
This program was recommended to me by a Sgt in the army and just like this workout program is now my favorite routine, he is now my favorite Sgt.
Man or woman, if you’re trying to figure out your training and Bromley isn’t your lifting Jesus, you’re fucking up. Only modifications were due to home gym setup with only rack, bar and plates, and adjustable dumbbells. Use Google for alternates if you’re in the same boat and don’t worry about it. This was the first time I ever ran a program with a dedicated peak phase. Once I got over my HIIT brainwashing and the need to have a permanent v-taper or whatever, the gains began. I thought I was weak. I was wrong. My training was weak. I will 100% run this again. My final week I took as a test week and ate several boxes of cookies = 1RM fuel. Don’t eat like a bitch. Body weight - 188lb Bench - 250-282.5lb Squat - 325-390lb OHP - 160-177.5lb (had a 182.5 with an unintentional little knee-hop) DL - 385-455lb Pretty sure my cock is bigger too but maybe that’s just the confidence you get when you run out of plates and have to duct-tape weight packets from your weight vest to the bar to hit your DL 1RM. Run this if you want BDE (or the female equivalent). RECOMMENDED for: a person who want the joy of progress and purpose in their workouts. NOT RECOMMENDED for: a person who likes pissing their workout time up the wall with slow-eccentric-inverted-reverse-cable-wrist-extensions or whatever.
Absolutely wonderful
Run bullmastiff before this I beg of you, the sheer amount of volume with this program is insane. It’s incredibly rewarding if you’re looking for something hard though. Can’t give honest opinions on results yet as I’m only a month in, so I’ll come back and change this later when I finish it.
Worked out 3-4 times a week. Because of schedule / recovery. So it made the program longer. Bench went from 275 max to 315. Squat went from 355 to 405. Deadlift 425 to 505.
