I’ve not been able to back squat for a while due to a groin injury but I found that I could zercher squat. So I ran this program doing zerchers and feet elevated zerchers as the accessory. That being said, this was an enjoyable program as I went much more on feeling rather than numbers which ended up bumping up the numbers more than I expected. So I can’t speak for back squats as of right now but I liked the program and will definitely run it again

This program is a big challenge in the RPE department ie it forces you to learn how to use it quick. The volume is A LOT but the fatigue management is spot on. I would recommend building up to an amount of volume that is closer to this program BEFORE attempting to run it if you don’t want to be sore for a week or two after the first session…. Especially as you have to squat again 4 days later. It’s easy to run alongside anything you want to do for your upper body. I don’t know what my 10RM was before running this but my 8RM was 175kg. I hit 172.5kg x10 after one cycle of this program. Gonna run it twice more and aim for 180kg x10. I have total belief it can help me achieve that.

Good to start legs on a program that gets them ready for heavy training

I've been out of lifting for a fair while and wanted to start with something easy to follow but provides badassery on gains. I LOVE this programme. Will be cycling it over the next year. Great place to build on squats. Been fun to train front squats too.

I can't give a super good review because I recovered from a month long sickness when I started it, I also couldn't train often due to being busy so this 2 day a week program was great for me. I would recommend it though because it is very fun.

My first time following any type of program and definitely helped me out with staying consistent, at least with doing legs :) also gave me nice juicy pumps 😊
