The Candito 6 Week Program is designed for intermediate lifters looking to break personal records through the periodization training method.

Week 3: Linear Max OT
Week 4: Heavy Weight / Explosiveness
Week 5: Intense Strength Training
Week 6: Deload

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.

Squats feeling powerful, bench is notably lagging behind. I like the leg structure here but I may swap the bench programming with one of my own.

Add RPE based sets rather than just reps.

Maybe insert some auxiliary exercises on leg days and one actual bicep exercise. I understand the bicep gets work from other compound movements, but it would be nice to work it in at least one exercise. The same goes for the triceps.

After 2 cycles, my bench didn't move, but technique is more sound. Squat got worse, but I did significantly more volume before starting this program. I switched to high bar ATG and will take it from there. DL improved by 15 kg and feels very light. OHP improved a lot, I can do 6+ reps with weight I did for heavy singles before. I enjoy this program very much and will continue doing it for quite a while.

Need more volume on bench, but my squat and deadlift max increased almost 50 lbs each
