This is a great program! I plateaued for a while and needed to change my approach. This was exactly what I needed. I still expect to make strength gains and get visible results in my physique.

Good program, I feel stronger and went up in lifting amounts but less than expected. Muscle size was nice on arms but not significant

I feel like this program is working for me as long as I do moderate cardio on the off days. I like that the program includes compound exercises and supersets.

This is a great program and I gained both size and strength with it. I modified it a bit to include calves every other day. The down side of this program for me is it takes me 2 hrs to complete it. I'm in the progress of trying to bring that number down.

I could swap some exercise for convenience on my Gym. And I worked great. Gains on strength and size. I gained strength on legs and my bench despite on bench movement per workout.

Great program! Excellent reintrocution to higher rep hard efforts. Offers a very novel stimulus after having run through a couple more strength specific programs.

Really good program for novices. Approaching week 8 though, I’ve decided to change to a 4 day program. As all my lifts are much stronger now, pushing each muscle group intensively each workout day is becoming difficult so I’ve decided to add an extra day.

This was my first program, and I found it pretty easy to follow, I made just a few changes due to a SLAP tear I'm currently dealing with. People around me noticed my muscle growth better than me (I did not keep track of it, tbh), and I was able to notice some remarkable strength gains. Overall experience, 9/10, I'd recommend this routine to everyone at high beginner to intermediate level.

Geoff's Programming notes for RAMPAGE:

  • If you care more about chest development than shoulders, you can swap the 5th exercise of each day (Arnold Press/Seated Dumbbell Press/Klokov Press) for a horizonal press (referred to in my first book as “pushes”). If you care more about shoulder development than chest, you can swap the 1st exercise of each day (Incline Dumbbell Bench/Flat Dumbell Bench/Smith Machine Reverse Grip Bench) for another overhead movement.

  • Likewise, if you care more about thickness of the back, you can swap a vertical pull for a row, whilst if you care more about width, can dump rows for vertical pulls. Up to you.

  • Take the first week fairly easy just to find working weights (~3-4 RIR across the board).

  • You have 4 days off a week so push the workout days hard!

  • Feel free to do cardio on your off days. Cardio is optional and should be done at lower intensity so they do not interfere with your workouts.

  • Where it says “failure + partials” start with just failure (after the first week) and gradually incorporate some partial range of motion reps in later weeks.

  • Aim for a double progression, adding reps till you get to the top of the rep range, then adding weight, and repeating. Not all sets have to be with the same weight, you can do a single set with a heavier weight then drop the weight if fatigue necessitates that.

  • Can autoregulate sets, doing the higher side if you feel good, the lower side if life/tiredness/poor sleep show up. Start on the lower side. Don’t always do the higher side of sets, prioritize quality over quantity.

  • The program will work great as is, but feel free to evolve it over time when you run it subsequently by tweaking exercise selection or rep range. Observe what seems to produce the best results over time during and after each iteration.
