I had great success with Beginner 531 earlier this year, so I'm running it back on BBB. I love the pacing of the different effort levels throughout the month and flexibility for the accessories.

The Big but Boring program made me focus on the basic movement patterns of the lifts, there was always a challenging set in every workout, then the back down sets enabled me to focus on the fundamentals of the movement and bio mechanics.

Went from a struggeling 200x2 deadlift to a pr of 230 in 4 weeks and from a 110kg pushpress to a 130kg pushpress. Me likes

A quick yet very effective workout. Strength gains for sure within 4 weeks. Minor mods to ancillary workouts, main events need little if any adjustment.

I'm new to gym life, chose this for my first month in. I added various other exercises that fit the scope of the day. Also messed up my rest days but I'll hit it harder next split

So big

Super programme pour combiner force et hypertrophie. Cependant j'ai apporté des modifications pour le rendre plus complet et harmonieux.

Its a great program paired with running 3-4x a week. A LOT of volume so you need to plan your weeks other workouts well.

I didn’t read the book, so I’m sure I’m half-assing some part of it. Still, generally happy.

First time doing a program like this. I did appreciate the straight forwardness of it, even if I did feel like I was neglecting smaller muscle groups. I always felt like I had more left in the tank after the recommended lifts so I’d usually add another lift or run or something.
