Awesome So simple, fast & efficent
Pretty good. I'm running it with upright rows and doing 4x6 last set amrap for upper body except pullups. I am doing 3x5 weighted chinups.
It's simple and scalable
Great strength program to build a solid foundation and mindset. Highly recommend starting here even if you need to make modifications due to equipment or space etc.
Convenience, easy to track.
this program is very rigid and boring but i see where people could benefit from this type or workout schedule. however, i need more variety and separated, focused body part days instead of full body for 4 days
It’s a consistent program developing the big muscle groups. This has led to significant strength in tier 2 exercises.
Cool stuff
Great beginner workout to get back into it!
Nice simple program to get me back into the habit of going to the gym after a period of illness. I started adding exercises to it for some functional goals, but when it's a bad day I just do the program as written and some cardio.
