Monday is tough on accessories. Plan 2+ hours unless you superset. If you superset, you might miss reps. Took till week 3 for me to hit all reps. Overall great program. Back, chest, legs and arms all growing. Definitely eat in a surplus, or at least try. In cycle two I’m subbing in rack pulls and snatch high pulls, or just adding them on later. Face pulls are boring me. Program living up to the hype. Def re commend following the 85% TM for the first cycle to accomodate the volume of accessories

Great program, bench increased quickly.

I would recommend this program but I would say to be on the lower end as far as the training max goes even more so then you probably think other wise I enjoyed the program

Great program but you have to stick with the the conditioning to see the best results.

Great workout programs that works well for the specific goals

Kick a** program. Just wish it was a similar program with focus on lower body.

This is a great program. I find the Monday accessories very difficult, but that’s also the point. Pick this program and get to work.

This program will definitely pack on upper body muscle and you will likely get stronger in squat and overhead press. It's worth running.

I love this program. Adapted accessories as needed with limited time to train.

This program it's designed to send you to the hospital. My max on deadlift it's 180 kg and I am on the day 2 of week 1. It starts with deadlift 125 x5, 145×5 and the 162.5x5 for 3 sets. I already got tired from the 145x5 kg and my back hurts. If you're a machine and not a human then this program its for you
