it’s good

Not very impressed by this program. I find it completely random to throw in a random since biceps exercise and lateral raise at the end of a leg day. The muscles aren’t warmed up in any way and making the mind-muscle connection just feels weak and at risk for injury. I have 15+ years of weight training experience.

If you truly take the RPE seriously and go to failure on at least one set per day you will see great growth. Also adding tempo periodically will greatly increase the effectiveness. Great plan so far.

Good

I like that you mostly hit areas twice a week with a focus on compound movements. However, I think the Upper day could be better designed. It's almost entirely push exercises, despite the back being the largest upper body muscle group. By the end of the program, there's a lot of volume at high intensity too. If you're in your 20s and early 30s, this probably won't be an issue, but if you're over 40, you might end up needing to add in some rest days here and there. I did add some strength with this program though, which is pretty good considering I've been lifting for over 20 years.

Simple and to the point. 10/10

I like the variability in the workouts. Can get them done in a reasonable amount of time. Switching from 3 to 5 lift days was tough at first (especially on the legs and back) so I’ve averaged probably 4 days per week. More shoulders than I expected. Lots of dumbbell lateral raises. I also wish there were options to switch out exercises for alternatives. I don’t deadlift

Great place to start! Really enjoyed the progress I’ve made.

Great program to lock into! My personal gains seem not that major visibly, but definitely see it strength wise. Going to continue locking in to this program and finish it up! Halfway there so we still have plenty of time.

Good to go!
