Beast Slayer: Berserk Method Full Body Program 2.0
It's definitely quite a top heavy program although that's not to say lower body is neglected in any way. Personally, I don't think my elbows enjoyed the 8 different arm exercises with 2 sets each (!!) - at least not with going to failure like I tend to do. I'm an older lifter though so YMMV. I cut it to just 6 sets biceps, 8 for triceps. I feel like with plenty of compounds that's more than sufficient. I'm still seeing how the strength-focused training will pan out as I'm only just over a quarter of the way through the program.
Excellent program. The addition of how many options there are for each workout makes it managable for home gyms with limited resources. Worthy of the 2.0 title. I recommend his youtube channel too. One of my favorite fitness youtubers.
Made some exercise selection swaps and swapped out some bicep volume for delts. Introduced some rear delt focus exercises as well. I appreciate the suggested progression model but I prefer to auto regulate in a linear style to drive strength progress as the weeks pass and use volume (add sets or deload) as a way to bounce a progression stall.
As a runner who’s been lifting for over two years, this program has helped both my strength and muscle gains blow up. Its frequency is perfect, especially for the smaller muscles (i.e. arms) is great
I tried the last version as well both are great. I've tried my own programs before but I like this ones better, they're quick, fun and effective, for me that's everything I need. When I finish this one I will totally try another one.
Very good exercise selection, doesn’t get dull, everything gets hit well, still enough space to do cardio and other activities outside of it, you don’t have to live at the gym to make good progress
Do NOT run this program if you don’t want to get huge, horse, super saiyan muscles. If you don’t want that, this program is not for you.
A brilliantly flowing program with good upgrades from the original. I recommend checking the spreadsheet you can find on youtube for some additional guidance and exercise options. I added some wrist curls to the arm day, otherwise ran the program as written.
Bald Omni Man programs are the best! I try other programs by different coaches but always come back to some form of BOM program.
An excellent update to the Beast Slayer framework. I’ve been running beast slayer back to back for over a year now and I can’t speak highly enough about this program. If you like getting big, strong, and mistaken for a gorilla at the gym, this is the program for you.
