The Rippler (GZCL Official)
Enjoying it. Deadlift is brutal, had to drop my 1RM so I could reasonably progress. Add one more accessory most days, mostly abs/tricep/bicep just because I need to work on them. Will probably keep running this program for a few cycles.
Amazing program. 35m with 3 years experience. Added 20lbs to my bench and 35 to my squat, halfway through test week. Even if I add nothing to my OHP and deadlift- I'm happy with the program. Going to run it back.
Strength gains and muscle gains Great program Got a slight shoulder injury and easy to change around some movements to compensate
I added some.unilateral excercises to reduce existing imbalances.
Great program. A piece of advice, take some time and ACTUALLY figure out your one rep maxes before you start this. Especially for lifts you don't do often. I unfortunately suffered a shoulder injury in week 9 and had to only do lower body lifts after that, but I exceeded my 1 rep maxes greatly for the lower body. Also my back looks GREAT after this program. I did GZCLP before this and I found the rippler had much more variety. Happy lifting!
Just coming on to week 7 now Enjoying the programme and the progression
Loved it. Swapped out bent over rows for t-bar
Simple. I enjoy the T1/2/3 approach - logical and easy to adapt. Through illness/business I've occasionally had to delay workouts a few days but things work well still - easy to make it work. Only 1/4 through a cycle so can't give a full review but so far, it's good.
I’m just a year into strength training and I thought I’d give this a try. I started with GZCL and liked it. I think since I’m still in my newbie gain period I should have kept running a novice LP. However, I like all the exercises and think this is still helping me progress but at a lower rate than LPs.
I would recommend this program.
