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.

Coming from Powerlifting, the volume was a bit of a shock, and having a weird sensation in my shoulder meant I swapped barbell squats for hack squats. That was the only exercise I swapped. I swapped them back in in week 4, and could just go on with the given weight for that day. My shoulders and arms have either gained size, or I have lost weight without chanfing my diet.

Hard to rate gains for sure because 5-6 weeks in I slipped over on ice and injured my meniscus and was unable to do any lower body training, but I did enjoy what I was doing and felt like and like I was progressing like I'd expect. I'd happily give it another go in off season after I've recovered though. For now though I need a program that gives more volume to upper body.

It is an excellent program to push you to your limits and help you smash plateaus. The only downside is to the program is the amount of time spent in the gym if you follow the recommended rest times. I found myself trying to listen to my body and starting the next set sooner than recommended. Also, towards the end of the workout session I would double up on some exercises like the rows with leg curls or leg extensions.

Good gains, you can drop some extra volume prior to final week if fatigue is high. Otherwise a very nice powerbuilding program. Bench frequency might be low for some people.

As the program suggests, it is a primarily volume/hypertrophy program building maximum work capacity. Strength gains are just an added bonus, but if you are expecting huge 1rm max improvement, better stick to a dedicated powerlifting program. Highlight of the program would be better than expected muscle size and development. Solid 4.5/5 rating with minor modifications depending on your own personal training style.
