Minority adjusted for home gym (anything dumbbell to barbell and band pull aparts instead of face pulls basically) and ran out of time a lot of days so probably only did about 80% of each day on average. Still making great strength and size gains, also been very half assed on the diet and still no stopping the gains. For conditioning I’ve just been distance running which is my usual

I had been doing 531 BBB for sometime before finally getting "bored". This program is challenging and requires significantly more focus, energy and time. The results have been great and I certainly gained more muscle mass than I expected. The only modifications I made were for the conditioning portions, I used my rower instead of the AirDyne bike. Otherwise, great program for pushing anybody stuck on a plateau or looking for something challenging.

Very doable. Great progression from week to week and easy to modify after need.

Do you want mass? Because this is how you get mass. Long time 531 classic with periodization Bible as my go to. This is a nice change of pace and an excellent way to challenge yourself. I superset everything I can for the sake of time, and that turns it up some. Good luck.

I would definitely recommend this program to anyone looking to kick their strength gains up notch or two. Be prepared to work past the point you're ready to quit! That's where the gains live.

Great program, challenging but doable. Changed dips to weighted version but came back to bodyweight dips as they arę better for my shoulders and elbows
