Solid. No faff. Ran it three times in a row. Third time I added more accessories.

First cycle done. Squat up 30# Bench up 25# Deadlift up 65#. I may have underestimated starting maxes but well designed program. I never felt over fatigued, and looked forward to each lift. Starting 6 week cycle 2.

Great program, running it for the possibly 6th time in a row now. Squat blew up, added around 70lbs in 5 months - deadlift took a hit due to doing it after squats - just 20lbs in 5 months, and bench just 7lbs (it is my weak point). Overall, loved the upper lower portion. I’d recommend doing bicep/tricep work in the upper body days and hamstring/adductor work in the lower body. Thank you for the program Mr. Candito!

Started 20 pounds under training max as I’ve lost a lot of gains over the past two years and using this to get back on track. Going well

Ran twice without deload, tested my maxes at the end of the second cycle. Here are the results in Kg around 98 - 100 BW: S: 145 - 155 B: 95 - 97.5 D: 170 - 172.5 x2 Bench didn't go up the first time, as the volume wasn't enough, started implementing incline dumbell press as an accessory and it felt better. Squat volume is perfect and I'm happy with the results. Deadlift was alright at the beginning, but as time went on I felt like my technique got worse. I need more skill work, and this program kept the deadlift volume pretty low and always after squats. Didn't manage to do a 1 rep pr.
