It’s a good program but I think too much volume on the chest in the first couple of weeks

For the second time my goals 220/140/240 it would be nice to hit 600kg total as a 78kg lifter

Regarding my favorite aspects, the intensity of the program is excellent, and I really like the direct focus on accessory movements that support the main lifts. I would definitely recommend it to friends with similar strength goals, but with a heads-up: progress is very slow, and the program requires some personal tweaks to cover specific missing angles. My advice for anyone running this program is to be highly patient with the slow progress. Also, since this version has reduced its focus on general accessories compared to before, you should manually add your own work for muscle groups like the biceps, triceps, and glutes based on your body’s specific needs and recovery.

I overshot my bench singles in the block so i expected nothing on that side :) In addition to that i was running this after a 10kg cut and still was able to hit PR and or bodyweight PRs. Entry 140kg 105kg 200kg End 150kg(close miss on 160kg) 107.5kg (long arms and weak man) 220kg

Solid programme. I managed to hit PRs in sumo DL (240kg, +10kgs) and bench (160kg, +5kgs). Squat didn't go as well, I did redo an old pr that I hadn't hit since the end of 2024. I think the back work allocated in this programme is top. For squats, lack of variation to address weaknesses was an issue. If I could do again, I would change the second squat sessions to a pause squat.

Ran this back to back 3x, Not enough volume on accessories to run this repeatedly, first cycle was good though.
