WHAT IS THE JACKED & TAN 2.0 PROGRAM?
Jacked and Tan 2.0 (J&T 2.0) is an intermediate-level powerbuilding program that emphasizes hypertrophy and work capacity development over peak strength development. Don't worry, you'll get stronger too.
Made by coach Cody Lefever (GZCL), J&T 2.0 gained popularity as a fun lifting program that is a break from the usual monotonous powerlifting training. J&T 2.0 has many exercise variations, different progression schemes, and a lot of volume to help you become a more complete and competent lifter.
Read below for the full program guide on how to use J&T 2.0 app.

Amazing, amazing program. Been doing this program for a month on 1800 cals deficit and haven't missed a lift yet but gotten stronger. After 13kgs lost id expect heavy strength loss but it was only minimal. Highly recommend

Very effective program! Most amount of volume I’ve ever done but left each workout feeling accomplished. Set multiple rep PRs and saw a good amount of overall strength gains. Workouts took about 2-2.5 hours even with supersets, so it’s a bit of a time commitment. Overall a great program for strength and hypertrophy that I would recommend everyone run at least once.

Best program I’ve ever done, hands down. The variety keeps me from getting bored and the focus on reps over pounds has made it so very very rarely have a discouraging day since I can drop the weight and still get the reps in. I’m halfway through and already got a bench PR and hit a squat I hadn’t attempted since 2018. I’ve wound up doing more recovery days than programmed such that I’m on week 6 of the program while actually just getting to week 10 in terms of actual time (some chronic illness issues) but if anything I think it’s helped me progress as much as I have. I’ve already recommended it to friends. Advice if you’re just starting: eat SO much food.

I had to take a break from my regular programming so figured I’d try one these shorter templates. A little over five weeks in, I’m not terribly impressed with the strength development on this program. The progression from high reps to singles is just way too rapid and there’s a lot of heavy bodybuilding work to beat you up along the way. Probably making some decent muscle gains but I feel beat up and I’m not feeling my strongest.

I think with workouts so long, it’s easy to lose your drive toward the end of the lift. I’m all for adding easy sets for volume, but it seems to waste a little more time than necessary. I think that combining a lot of the accessories into variations or compound-esque lifts would help with this.

Swapped from some other similar programs. The volume seems to make a real difference.

Great program for improving work capacity and strength. Good size gain as well. Be ready for a lot of volume.

Volume is brutal. But I fucking love it. I feel like back is an afterthought though.
