I absolutely love this program. It’s what I’ve needed for years. Unfortunately, I overworked my knee 2 weeks ago and haven’t done a programmed leg day since. However, prior to that injury, I found that running this program helped me to overcome my fear of heavy leg training. Before, I was unable to comfortably squat higher reps over 2 plates on the back squat. On the day I got injured, I hit 275 x 6 and 285 x 4. I love it. I need to get better and jump back on soon!!!

Just the way it’s set up in general feels real nice definitely exploding my compounds and strength

Good

Great program. I was not expecting to gain so much strength and muscle as an intermediate lifter in only 12 weeks. The volume is very high, but as long as your sleep and diet are on point, you will not be disappointed with the results. Great program to run on a bulk. Thanks Cody, you legend! Bench: +5kg Squat: +10kg Dead: +10kg Incline bench: + 7.5kg (Replaced OHP with this due to shoulder issues) Bodyweight: +3kg I'm starting round 2 next week!

Far too much volume for a lifter who does not supplement testosterone. Burned out.

First off, like everyone says, these workouts are LOOONNG. After you get over that, you're going to get stronger. I've been dealing with a shoulder injury so I had to change the upper body exercises to focus on arms only but for the legs portion I gained significant amounts of strength. My glutes definitely grew too. This a fun program for sure! (If you're crunched for time, try some of Cody's other programs!)

I love the GZCL training method and this was my second time running it. I usually split the routine and do the primary body part (T1) in am, then other body parts (T2-T3) after work or the next day. For a man over 50 this helps my body recover and stretch the program a little without as much risk of injury, yet still get great results.

After doing training with high intensity, starting a program with high volume worked really well 👌🏻 it gave nice rest for my joints and really helped with stalling progress

This program is brutal but it's really fun and also worth it. I can't really judge the strength gains I made because I never got to do a 1RM test on fresh leg, but I definitely turned some 1RMs into 3RMs etc., especially on bench and squat. Deadlift lowkey stalled, but it's my strongest lift so idk. I ran the hypertrophy block twice and strength block once (on a slight surplus) and was still making strength gains toward the very end. I would recommend really dialing in nutrition (i.e. eating in a surplus) and sticking to conservative weight selection since I did injure my shoulder the one time I let my ego put a bit more than prescribed on the bar for bench. Will run again.

I loved this program, it gave me a sample of what this app is about. I definitely will be repeating this workout program when I get the chance.
