Repeatedly squatting and deadlifting on the same day seemed like a terrible idea at first however the volume is careful managed and I saw the best strength gains in both lifts that I've had in probably 12 years. So far the bench press gains have been less impressive but still steady. I modified nothing and followed this program to the letter including the supplemental work. I did have some brief periods of less consistency throughout the program where I may have had 2 rest days in a row where there should have only been 1. I do believe this may have helped with the squat and deadlift recovery however it may have hurt my bench gains. Bench has always been my strongest lift so I plan to do the program again and follow it to the letter and see if those gains improve. If the bench gains can match the lower gains I would consider this the best power lifting program I've ever used.

1st program I ran when I started 5 years ago . I’m recovering from a shoulder tear and knee pain . Program has my confidence up . Perfect amount of reps to avoid fatigue while increasing the gains .

This was my first time doing a structured program focusing on strength. The gains I’ve made in my lifts have been insane. The volume was perfect and I feel more comfortable under heavy weight than I did when I first started.
